ANNUAL REUNION NEWS

The Payne-Foster Reunion is scheduled this year for Saturday, Oct. 20 from 10:00am until later in that afternoon.  We're expecting a larger turnout for this reunion due to a key change in the timing for the related Buddy and Martha Payne Reunion.  This Buddy and Martha Payne Reunion had been held previously over an early June weekend every even-numbered year.  The organizers of this Buddy and Martha Payne Reunion decided that it would be better to avoid the extreme heat and humidity of previous June reunions and to shift this reunion to coincide with the October reunion of the broader Payne-Foster Reunion.  The Buddy and Martha Payne Reunion will start Friday afternoon (Oct. 19) and run through Sunday afternoon, but a portion of this time (Sat. 10-2 or so) will be devoted to getting together with the broader set of kin who attend the annual Payne-Foster Reunion.  The agenda for the annual Payne-Foster Reunion will continue as before with lunch set for about 12:00 noon; however, we'll likely see more attendance from the Buddy and Martha branch of the family.

Looking forward to the nicer weather of October and seeing you at this year's reunions.
