Hey Family:
It’s that time of year again. This year we’re headed to the beautiful and colorful city of Montgomery, Alabama. The city where the first shots were fired starting the Civil War. The city that was the capitol of the Confederate States of America and later became the city where the civil rights movement began. Nowhere else but in the South could that have happened. We’ll go back in time and follow our ancestors through their trials and struggles. I know it will remind us of how far we’ve come as a family and how far we still have to go. Also, I hope we will take what we’ve seen and heard back to our children and communities and begin to make even more differences.
In this mailing, I have enclosed the following information:
• Tentative Weekend Agenda – July 18, 19, 20 and 21, 2019.
• Links and Websites of Interest-attached
• Information for submitting family updates and/or pictures- attached
• PCG Family Facebook page – Type Peters-Clements-Gazaway Family Page in
• PCG Family website – http://www.peters-clements-gazaway.org/.
• Contact information for submitting updated family contact information (changes in phone #’s, mailing addresses, email addresses, birthdays, etc.)- attached.
In order to compile the 46th Annual Family Reunion Souvenir
Booklet, I am requesting the head of each family unit to submit any family
member updates for inclusion into the booklet. Items to be included in updates
are: births, deaths, hospitalizations, job announcements/promotions,
graduations, etc. These items are to be submitted to the family’s email
address: peters.clements.gazaway.family@gmail.com.
*Business Corner – If you or someone in your family has a business or company, I would like to highlight your business/company, that’s if you didn’t send it last year. Again, send the following information – Company/Business Name, Executive Director’s/CEO’s Name, Business mailing address, Business Phone and Fax Numbers, Business Webpage address – to the family’s email address at peters.clements.gazaway.family@gmail.com.
*Family Cookbook– If you are the next Myrtis Robinson, Susie Peters Hall, Martha Stewart or the like and have perfected an old family recipe or stumbled across a scrumptious delight, please be sure to send the recipe for all to try and enjoy to the family’s email address no later than July 1, 2019, to peters.clements.gazaway.family@gmail.com.
* Lights, Camera, Action– If you have found an old picture and would like for someone to identify it, have pictures that were taken during previous family reunions, or any other pictures that would interest the family, please forward pictures in jpeg format no later than July 1, 2019 to the family’s email address at peters.clements.gazaway.family@gmail.com.

Due to the high costs to create and duplicate the family
Souvenir booklet, it will now switch from paper copy to electronic copy. Copies
will be emailed to each family member that provides a valid email address. For
those “seasoned” family members that do not have access to email or
the web, a limited number of paper copies may be available. Please make sure
that we have each of your family member’s email addresses. These verifications
can be mailed to the PCG family email address at peters.clements.gazaway.family@gmail.com.
I hope this reunion will be as much fun as we’ve planned it to be.
May the Grace of God shine upon you and have a safe trip to Montgomery. See you
there!
Love,
Yolanda Flowers
