A Family Reunion Christmas
Hello Family
In the midst of busy lives, changing seasons, and growing generations, this reunion is our time to pause, reconnect, and come together. It is an opportunity to laugh, share stories, honor our elders, and allow the younger generation to learn the roots that shaped who they are.
Step into the signature event of the weekend, The Swan Ball. Join us Saturday, December 19 at the Doyle Convention Center for an elegant evening of live entertainment, laughter, celebration, and unforgettable family moments. Enjoy a catered dinner, performances by Gregory “Saxman” Daniels, comedy by Lil Darrel, music by DJ Primetime, games, prizes, and more as generations come together under the glow of Christmas.
Semi-formal and formal attire is encouraged for this special night of elegance, fellowship, and lasting memories.
From heartfelt fellowship and home-cooked favorites to elegant celebration and Sunday worship, each day of the reunion weekend has been thoughtfully planned to bring family together.

How to Reserve Your Spot

Submit payment for Saturday’s signature event, The Swan Ball, to Loretta by October 1, 2026.
Additional Step for Family Representatives Only
If you are the designated representative for your family branch or generation group, complete the Family T-Shirt Color Reservation Form to reserve your family’s official reunion color.
Please Note:
Only one representative from each of the 18 family generations or branches should reserve a T-shirt color. Once a color has been selected, it will no longer be available for other families. This allows each family branch to be uniquely represented during Sunday’s reunion gathering.
Example:
Kenneth Anderson would reserve a shirt color on behalf of the Anderson family branch through his mother, Octavia Anderson, the Swan family’s oldest daughter.
