The Gathering of 2024 could be the biggest event this family has ever experienced. Some have called this “The Cousins Reunion”. It’s all that and more! The last big reunion we had was nearly 18 years ago in 2006. Many of our collective posterity weren’t even born yet! Many have not met their aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Now’s a good time to do it.
The Gathering was announced more than a year ago as being July 18-23, 2024 in Aloha, Oregon and surrounding areas. There are some main events planned for the entire group on Friday and Saturday July 19, 20, and then during a few days before and after there will be optional events for smaller or large groups.
