The Roots of Edenton Family Reunion hotel site has been selected and the website is updated. We have a lot of activities planned based on feedback from the 2012 ROE Reunion. We plan to have two hospitality rooms to accommodate the crowds. One room will be for the youth and we will have games and other activities to engage them. We do ask that chapters bring some games to put in the room as well. The second room will be used by the adults for "Meet & Greet" and workshops.
We know most of the family, young and old, have been burning the "midnight oil" and staying up very late during ROE so we will have a film festival after the workshops and other presentations. If there are family members who want to set up a table to show their products, let us know. There will be a schedule posted of the workshops and other activities so you can choose which ones you want to attend.
I am asking family to bring photographs, books and any other artifacts that will tell us about your family and the town of Edenton. We hear all kinds of stories from family at the ROE Reunions and need to record it.
For example, in NYC, many of us tend to walk with our heads down when we are on the streets in our neighborhood. This isn't because we are depressed or shy; it's because we are trying to avoid stepping in dog "doo." Well, a certain New Yorker (who came from Edenton) was telling us about his experience with "doo;" that is "doo" from animals much larger than dogs. Be sure to look at the woman's reaction at the end of the video!
