Family Reunion
The Rumours have started about a Family Reunion. Please give us some feedback, thoughts, etc.
Gary and Bobby Brinkman have started talks about getting together a committee (having a meeting about having meetings... sounds like the company I work for) to organize a family reunion for the Thibodeaux, Huckaby, Brinkman, Miller, Thomas, LeDoux, Leger, Gagliano, Guidry, Cormier, LaFleur, etc. families. You get the idea.
It's quite the undertaking when you think about it, but really it doesn't have to be complicated. Let's show up and have some fun, food (crawfish boil), music (Charlie Wine, get your squeeze box ready), etc.
They are shooting for Good Friday, 2011 in the Opelousas area.
I don't want to speak for Gary and Bobby, but that's the general idea.
What do yall think about it?
Please pass along the info to any family that might be interested.
If you are on FaceBook, you can go to the Thibodeaux Family page and share you thoughts on the discussion board - http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Thibodeaux-Family#!/pages/The-Thibodeaux-Family/217941975040?ref=ts.
