Witham Family Reunion 2012

Hello, Withams!

Mary Beth just sent out an announcement concerning the upcoming Witham Family Reunion for this year. Here is her announcement. Hope to see you there! ~Mike


Hello Everyone!
As you know, Uncle Ray was the one who arranged our annual Witham Family Reunion.  He always scheduled them a year in advance.  The date he had for this year is Sunday, July 15, 2012.  It's very hard to think of having a reunion without him but I know many of us cousins have talked recently about it and we will have this one as a time to gather together as family and a time to pay tribute to what Uncle Ray began so many years ago.

I hope as many of you that can, will be able to join us.

Date: Sunday, July 15, 2012
Time: Gather at noon, eat at 12:30pm
Place: Lion's Club, Franklin, IL

Bring a covered dish or two to share, your own drinks and table service.  Feel free to bring any pictures from past reunions or of family members who cannot come.  I know our family has grown over the years.  It would be nice to keep caught up with them.

In closing, this is the Witham Family webpage: http://withamfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/
It was established and is maintained by Mike Smith.  Mike is Tom Witham's grandson.  I met Mike at last year's reunion.  He's quite talented and it shows.  I suggest you check it out.  Mike has family history, pictures, last year's reunion, news, and much more.  He's good about posting and keeping it updated.

So, spread the word and I hope to see you in July!
Until then, Happy Easter, Happy Spring!
