CLINGMAN-JONES 86th FAMILY REUNION

June 29th – July 1, 2007

Jones Valley ? Caddo Gap, Arkansas

Hello Cousins! Yes, it is once again time for us to start getting in gear and, as they say in Arkansas, “start aim’n” for our annual reunion in Jones Valley. With July 4th falling midweek, this year’s Reunion, the 86th, will allow us to get a jump on our national celebration by being held the weekend before. In fact some kinfolks are thinking of making it a Reunion week! Whatever your options are, we hope that you and yours joining in our special family gathering can be put on your calendar. That action comes under getting those priorities in order. I think that this year’s newsletter, with a recap of last year’s Reunion, will provide you with information that will peak your interest to join in, support your Reunion and Valley, and stay connected with your ancestors’ vision.
