Reunions are often focused around other special events such as landmark birthdays, anniversaries, etc. The trick is to get relatives there and then to help relatives who don't know each other well to communicate better. Name tags are helpful, as well as planned events, such as square dancing, softball, story telling and speeches. Getting ready can also be a big job making small committees a good way to go. One group can plan location, another food, another communications and a fourth can plan the entertainment.
Genealogical sessions are also popular sharing times.
And don't forget, once your reunion gets underway, to allow for photo opportunities. Have each family member pass by the video camera and say a few words. This is a great way for families to connect and make a little history together. The best solution is to not depend on Uncle Sam for assistance.
