John Howe jbh@bordernet.com.au Dear descendant of Edward Thomas Newton and Elizabeth Martin, The October 2-3 date for the Newton Family reunion is now drawing near and it may be wise to book accommodation. I have confirmation from about 40 people, but it would be handy for others to confirm attendance with John Howe or myself to aid in the preparation of name tags and family tree displays. The weekend is mostly unstructured, allowing time to look around the Alberton cemetery where some graves will be marked, to visit sites of interest marked on a map of the area and to join in self-organised smaller family groups for a Saturday evening meal and for Sunday brunch. On Saturday morning and early afternoon there is an opportunity to gather and look at the Family Bible of Edward Thomas Newton the second and at other family tree information in the Pelican Room of the Shire of Wellington Yarram library. We hope everyone will be able to attend a joint picnic in the adjacent Yarram Park from midday on, Saturday.
