The Elder William Descendants Association would like to announce the annual McElvy/McElvey Reunion. We are the descendants of William McElvy and Barbara (Barbary) Reeves. All descendants and their families (McElvy/McElvey and/or Reeves) are cordially invited to attend. It will be held at the Charter House Inn, 1401 Bainbridge Road, Bainbridge, Georgia on October 6, 7, 8, 2000. Those needing hotel reservations may call 912-246-8550 or 1-800-768-8550 for reservations. Mention that you are with the reunion for special rates. Costs per person is $ 20.00; children under 12 are free. There will be a buffet (additional charge) with a speaker on Saturday evening. Although this has, in the past, been a McElvy/McElvey reunion, it would be nice to find some Reeves descendants and cousins, also.
