Reseña del editor:

An accessible, information- and idea-packed book, "Family Reunion" shows how to create a workable timetable, organize a committee, and set up a fund for expenses. There are chapters on location, including little-known church camps and family resorts; on scheduling activities for kids and adults; on genealogy; on recording the event; and even on etiquette, including how to handle black sheep, in-laws, and stepchildren. With its case studies of real-life reunions and duotone photographs, it's the book that helps us connect.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO PLAN UNFORGETTABLE GET-TOGETHERS

"The first generation tries to preserve, the second generation tries to forget, and the third generation tries to remember," writes Ted Solotaroff of the urge to connect with family, to honor the past and celebrate continuity in a quintessential American ritual--the Family Reunion.

FAMILY REUNION includes:

--Finding the Elusive Perfect Site

--Cooking for the Hordes: Four Menus

--People Power: The Volunteers

--Great Intergenerational Games

--Memory Night: Family Stories

--Reunion Etiquette

--Capturing the Event

Maybe your family shares the same area code, or maybe they are scattered from coast to coast. When the urge comes to reunite them, only one thing counts-planning.

This indispensable book is an informative, idea-packed guide to every phase of having a reunion. It is also something more. By combining a general's logistical skills with a psychologist's insight into family dynamics, with a camp counselor's love for fun and games, and with a genealogist's passion for the past, Jennifer Crichton has written a book that not only assists in every step of the way, but inspires too.
