SELF FAMILY REUNION SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 2009

The annual Self Family Reunion will be held Saturday, September 19, 2009 in the fellowship hall of Friendship Baptist Church, 3310 Old Niles Ferry Road, Maryville, TN. This is where it was held last year. We will begin gathering around 2 p.m. and share a meal at 4 p.m. Many of you may have wondered if the reunion would be held this year since Ruth Bryant, who hosted the reunion for as long as I can remember, recently passed away. I was able to confirm today that it will indeed be held as usual. Please let me know if you need directions or more information.
