2010 SELF FAMILY REUNION DATE AND LOCATION SET

I received a telephone call from Cousin Judy Payne yesterday evening. She has reserved the pavilion at Pearson Springs Park in Maryville, TN for the 2010 Self Family Reunion. The date is Saturday, September 25, 2010. We will have the pavilion reserved from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Restrooms are available at the park. It is located on Montvale Station Road in Maryville and is very close to Sandy Springs Park. More information and complete directions to the park will be added to this site as the date draws near. Mark your calendars now and plan to join us for the reunion. Many of you will remember we had to change locations because the fellowship hall at Friendship Baptist Church, where we have met for the past two years, was not going to be available to us this year. Fortunately, Judy already had a new location in mind. Hope to see all of you there!
