"I've met so many ot my relatives; some I've never seen before and some that I've seen before but didn't know they were kin people," said Rosemond Alexander Yongue, a family reunion hostess ' "I was shocked to learn that an old time Sunday School teacher that I've known all my life is my father's cousin," Mrs. Yongue said excitedly It was a day of uniting and reuniting, boating, discoing, singing and praying. The atmosphere was friendly and »hpre was more than enough îun anu ιοοα to go aruuncl Family members mingled freely; introducing them selves, handshaking and hug ging their way through the crowd. "I'm really enjoying this," said 78-year old Rosa Alexan der. "The day is nice. The river is nice and the trees and people It's beautiful," she smiled. "We've worked together for years, but I never knew she was kin to me, Treatie Alexa nder said of Rosa Alexander. The two had worked to gether at a company on West Blvd until 1966 when Rosa retired The two embraced warmly before going off to make other discoveries of other family members This was the first of what family members hope will be an annual event. "We hope to have a reunion every year," Romeo Alexand er, an organizer and president of the Reunion Committee, said cheerfully. "We. have so many kin DeoDle who live within a 100 Cyrus Alexander .. Oldest member mile radius of Charlotte who I don't even know. I might know the father or mother but I might not know the children or my cousins," Alexander explained. Though a reunion had been talked about for years, Alexander decided to put his dream into action and invited the large family to his spacious summer cottage on I jike Norman. Romeo Alexander ...Planned outing "It was just too many people to gather at a house. So, we decided to have it on the Lake,'' Alexander explained. Plans for the reunion were started in March. An organi zing committee was set up. Some 50 letters were sent out to notify known family mem bers of the reunion. Then, known family mem bers spread the news by word of mouth and a notice was also run in the Charlotte Host. To help make the meeting easier, a registration booth was set up where each family member was given a name tag. The registration of names, addresses, and phone numbers will also be used to send out invitations for future reunions An outdoor program was held with poems, solos, family history, and special recogni tion to the eldest family mem bers. There was at '.east one set of four generations present: Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus and Lucille Alexander, their daughter Rosemand Alexander Yongue, her daugther Brenda Simmons and her daughter Janese. The program opened with a song, "What a Friend We have in Jesus," and was followed by a prayer lead by the Rev. Wilbur Sanders. The elected officers for the 1978 reunion were Romeo Alexander, president, Helen C. Alexander, secretary, Annie Lee Jackson, chairper YOU WILL TOO!
