The 99th
James Lafayette Waldrep Family Reunion gathered Sunday, July 5, 2020 at Jaemor
Farm Barn starting at 12:00 PM and ending at 3:00 PM. There were 35 in attendance. Due to the COVID-19 PANDEMIC, social
distancing and strict CDC guidelines were observed. Each
family furnished their own food, and sat together. No sharing of food, utensils, or drinks. Jaemor Farms required that no more than 50
people be in attendance in the Barn, so those with compromised immune systems
or other health concerns chose not to attend this year.
Members were
called to order by President Tom Waldrep.
After the count those in attendance sang God Bless America. Tom led the pledge to the flag. Thanks was offered to those who helped
prepare and setup for the reunion: Becky
Latty, Virginia Roberts, Terry Waldrep and Joey Roberts. Tom and Jeanine’s son, Travis, offered a
beautiful blessing on the food and family.
Next year’s 100th
reunion is up in the air! Jaemor needs
the parking spaces on July 4th for their business, but will rent the
Barn to us on July 11th. President Tom asked us to consider what we
could do for next year.
OPTIONS: 1)
Change the date of the Reunion just this once to July 11th and have
it at Jaemor Farms Barn, or 2) Have the Reunion on the first Sunday in
July somewhere else. We are looking into
“somewhere else”! FYI: Waldrep Reunion Officers have visited one
place - the New Holland Gym Parlor - for one possibility. No final decisions have been made.
Suggestions
on either option above are welcome! Please email Tom (twwaldrep525@gmail.com) or Brad (wdunagan@gmail.com).
