What’s Your Favorite Recipe from the Family Cookbooks? Share Your Delicious Memories!

Hello, beloved family members!

As we get closer to our family reunion on Saturday, July 27th, I’ve been reminiscing about all the wonderful meals we’ve shared over the years. Our family cookbooks are treasure troves of culinary delights, filled with recipes that have been passed down through generations.

I thought it would be fun and heartwarming to hear from all of you: What’s your favorite recipe from our family cookbooks?

Maybe it’s a dish you’ve enjoyed at every reunion, a treat that reminds you of your childhood, or a meal you love to cook for your own family. Whatever it is, we’d love to hear about it!

Here’s how you can share:

  1. Comment below with the name of your favorite recipe and why it’s special to you.
  2. If you have a photo of the dish or a memorable moment associated with it, please share that too!
  3. Feel free to include any tips or tweaks you’ve made to the original recipe that you think others might enjoy.

Let’s celebrate our rich culinary heritage and maybe even discover some new family favorites along the way. I can’t wait to read about your favorite recipes and the memories they bring back!

Happy cooking, and see you all at the reunion!

Save the Date: Saturday, July 29th – Our Unforgettable Family Reunion!

There’s an undeniable sense of excitement in the air as we prepare to come together as a family once again. Our family reunion, traditionally held on Sundays, has now shifted to a Saturday, allowing us to maximize the time we spend together. We understand that weekends can be busy, but we believe that dedicating a Saturday to our reunion will create an even more memorable experience for everyone involved. So, clear your schedules and make sure to keep July 29th free – this is one event you won’t want to miss!

At our family reunion, there will be something for everyone, from the young to the young-at-heart. Whether you’re a grandparent longing to see your grandchildren’s smiling faces, a cousin who has moved away and wants to reconnect, or a sibling who wants to share stories and laughter with their brothers and sisters, this is the perfect opportunity to come together and celebrate our unique bond.

We encourage each and every one of you to extend the invitation to other family members near and far. Share the news on social media, make those phone calls, and send those heartfelt emails inviting your relatives to join us on this special day. Let’s gather as many generations as possible, because our family is a tapestry woven with the threads of love, resilience, and shared history. The more, the merrier!

So, dear family members, make sure to save the date – Saturday, July 29th – for our highly-anticipated family reunion. Embrace this opportunity to strengthen our bonds, create new memories, and celebrate the ties that bind us. Together, we’ll create a day filled with love, laughter, and an everlasting connection.

We can’t wait to see each and every one of you on this extraordinary day. Get ready for an unforgettable experience that will leave our hearts overflowing with love and gratitude. Until then, spread the word, mark your calendars, and get ready to make memories that will be cherished for a lifetime!

Reunion Day is Switched

During the 2022 reunion all in attendance voted on whether to switch the reunion to the last Saturday in July or to keep it as the last Sunday in July. The overwhelming majority of the vote was to move the reunion to the last Saturday in July. The board and officers hope that switching the reunion to the last Saturday in July helps you and more family members to be able to attend. Please plan on attending the 2023 Watts Reunion on Saturday, July 29, 2023. We look forward to gathering together again.

The Reunion This Sunday

The reunion is this Sunday (July 31st). In addition to the voting for Directors and Officers happening at the business meeting this year there is an important topic to be voted on. The business meeting starts at 10:30 am. We look forward to seeing you there.

We need your help

We (the Board of Directors and the Officers) always want to have people attend the reunion, but it is really important that people attend the reunion this year. With the passing of Brenda Watts (President of the Reunion) this brings about a vacancy in the officers. We need you and others to come for the business meeting at 10:30 am on Sunday, July 31st. Please help us out and spread the word about the 2022 Watts Reunion. We look forward to seeing you there.

2020 Reunion is Cancelled

NOTICE: Due to the pandemic that is going on in our country, we have decided we will have to cancel the Watts Reunion for 2020. It certainly not what we wanted to do, but Natural Bridge said their shelter is not conducive to social distancing. It is too small and they are closed and have no idea when they will get to open. So our prayer is to gather again next year 2021 on the last Sunday in July, if the Lord doesnt come get us. if not let’s all meet in Heaven ..May God Bless each of you, stay in stay safe. Paul and I love you all.
