How To Plan A Family Reunion
Jay Sage & Judy Izenberg

Sunday, March 19, 2006
1:30-4:30 PM
Gann Academy, Waltham

Judy Izenberg and Jay Sage, two members of JGSGB, will share their experiences
in planning family reunions. After carrying out the research to identify and
locate family members, it is a great joy to meet them face to face. If you've
never planned a reunion, it can seem like a daunting task, but if you plan
ahead, it can be a wonderful experience both for you and for your relatives. The
speakers will cover both the general principles of running a reunion and also
some of the details, such as designing name tags and producing wall-size family
trees.

Izenberg, who is currently a co-president of the JGSGB, has been doing research
since 2000 and helped a friend plan a reunion in 2002. Sage, a past co-president
of JGSGB, has been doing research since 1996 and organized the genealogical part
of a family reunion held in August 2000.
