Belinda E. Savadge 568 Rock Forge Rd. Jefferson, Georgia 30549 706-367-8909 savadge@alltel.net August 14, 2001 Dear Family Members: This year the 7th. Annual Bailey and Related Families Reunion will be on Saturday, September 15, 2001, at 10:00 a.m. (CST, Alabama Time). The reunion will be held at the Kiwanis Park in Wedowee, AL. I have reserved the park so the children will also have a good time and be able to play. We will also have use of the baseball field. In the event that it rains, we will move the reunion to the Wedowee Church of Christ on Hwy. 48 (West) going toward Lineville. The church is on your right. I am asking everyone to bring a covered dish to help with the food. We had a good size crowd last year and we are hoping for a bigger crowd this year. Please tell other family members that you may know about the reunion, since I dont have everyones address. This year I am also asking if there are any family members that would like to donate something as door prize to please let me know. The item can be store bought or even better a handmade craft. You can contact me at the above address, phone number or e-mail address. Please bring old and current photographs, family bible records, news articles, old stories, or anything else you think would be interesting to share with other members of the family. Also please bring along any updates on your family such as: births, marriages, deaths, new addresses and phone numbers, so I can keep the Family Tree and records current. Anyone wishing to submit recipes for the Family Cookbook please bring the recipes to the reunion or mail them to me. I had a computer crash and the disk that I saved them to got corrupted. So please everyone re-submit your recipes for the book. I am still working on the Bailey and related families but I still have a good bit of missing information. I would like all the information to be as accurate as I can possibly get it. I would like to write a book that is not just a list of names and dates. On the contrary, I would like the book to be a history and record book for our families and future generations to come. I would like photos and stories of as may ancestors and relatives as I can obtain. This would make the book more interesting for everyone. I hope you can make this year's reunion. This is a way to meet new family members and reacquaint yourself with family members you have lost track of. I look forward to seeing you all there. If you have any questions or need further information about the reunion, please contact me at 706-367-8909, if no answer please leave a message, or you can e-mail me at savadge@alltel.net Sincerely Your Cousin, Belinda E.
