We have sixty rooms available at the Quality Inn North in Springfield, Missouri, the location of our last reunion. The special reunion rate is forty-eight dollars per night for two double bed. We shall get this rate if we have twenty-five rooms rented. Reservations need to be made at least two weeks before the reunion. June 3 is the deadline. Call for reservations at 1-800-955-1833. The local number is 1-417- 833-3108. Mention that your reservation is for the Fulbright Family Reunions to get the special reunion rate.

Those of you who arrive on Friday evening will have the opportunity to visit fellow family members and to freshen up for the next day. A visitation area with refreshments will be available. The General Board will meet on Friday evening.

On Saturday morning, we shall have displays and interest areas concerning family history and current family projects. Our noon meal will be a buffet. Prices are six twenty-five for adults and four ninety-five for children under ten years of age. This is a pay-as-you-go meal. The General Meeting of the Family Association will be after the noon meal. We shall meet for approximately ninety to one hundred twenty minutes (two hours!) depending upon the business time needed. Following this meeting, we shall take time for everyone to get ready for a visit to the History Museum for Springfield-Green County. The Museum will honor the Fulbrights with a dedication and ribbon cutting for the Fulbright Archives Room with a reception following.

Our evening meal will be at the Quality Inn North at 6:00 p.m. and will feature a program on Fulbright Family history and stories. The cost of the meal is twelve dollars. Many of you requested more activities to follow the evening meal. For that reason, we plan to have our interest centers around the room for you to view slides, talk with family historians and genealogists, gather with other family members from your family line and view family pictures. There is a need for all of us to have something to do in this time of lingering.

Sunday morning, we shall worship at St. Paul's United Methodist Church, a congregation that began in early Springfield history with the assistance of William and Rutha Fulbright. In fact, the congregation first met in their cabin.

The new officers and General Board will have a breakfast meeting before church. People may stay or leave the reunion at their choice. At the last reunion, several families and individuals decided to remain in the area to visit the local libraries and/or historical sites. Some of us went to Silver Dollar City and/or country music shows in the Branson, Missouri area. Several folks ran into each other at the Shepherd Room of the Green County Library on Central Street.
