Why we do this

In a world that moves fast and scatters us far and wide, family remains our constant. These gatherings remind us that even when we don’t talk every day or live close by, the bond is still there. This weekend is about reconnecting, making new memories, and enjoying the people who have always been part of our story, or will be part of our story moving forward.

RSVP

In order to plan for the right amount of food, please contact CJ by June 01.
