Bob's Family Reunion - Dallas

The Scott Family Reunion was hosted by Jack & Cheryl Spence in Dallas Texas. Each year a family member takes on the responsibility of hosting this special event and organizing all the dinners, activities and hotel accommodations. The reunion takes place over a long weekend. Most will arrive on a Thursday and we all leave on a Sunday. So, you can imagine lots of prep work goes into this production. Jack & Cheryl did a bang up job keeping the whole family entertained. Activities included a wine tour, a train ride to Ft. Worth for shopping, a night of bumper cars & putt-putt, family games of LCR, Dominoes, Uno, Bingo and a family auction to make money for the next reunion. Not to mention all the food & beverages we had all weekend. Thank you Jack & Cheryl ... fun was had by all.

Scott is my Mother N Law's side of the family. Scott Brother & Sisters Richard, Edna Francis, Ida Lou & LeRoy

Family reunions are very special to the brothers and sisters of my Mother in Law. We've lost several loved ones over the past few years and the time is cherished and not taken for granted when we gather. Hopefully all the cousins will continue the family tradition of yearly reunions.

The family host an auction each year to raise money for the reunion. We all contribute 2 gifts to put on the auction table. Don is fantastic at making items sell for top dollar. He's hilarious and loves to entertain us.
