25th ANNUAL SELF FAMILY REUNION IS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2010

It is hard to believe August is almost gone and September is creeping up on us. This means one thing. The annual Self Family Reunion is just around the corner. Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 25. We will meet at Pearson Springs Park Pavilion in Maryville, TN. We have the pavilion reserved from 3 to 9 p.m. We will gather around 3 p.m. and eat around 4 p.m. Restrooms are on site. The park is located on Montvale Station Road, near Sandy Springs Park. Invite every other family member you see between now and then. Let's pack out the place. Bring lawn chairs since bench seating is all there is at the pavilion.
Directions: On Hwy. 411 N. in Maryville, turn at the Exxon Station onto Sandy Springs Road. Pass Foothills School, turn left onto Montvale Station Road. Go approximately 1/2 mile (turn at the fifth street on the left). The pavilion entrance is on the left, just before Sandy Springs Park. Or in Maryville take Hwy. 321 to Montvale Road and turn right onto it. Go to the light at Victory Baptist Church and turn right. Pass Garden Vale Apartments. The first road to the right is the entrance to the pavilion. This will be just after passing Sandy Springs Park on the right.
