Our first conference call was on September 22, 2015 for the Wallace-Harper Family Reunion. The meeting was called to order by Stanley Wallace. The reading of the last minutes was read by Barry Wallace. The order of the meeting was as follows:
1. Recap of old business
2. Individuals report on task status
3. New business
4. Family web page
Each person in charge of their committee gave a report of their status:
Davilla is to check on the water & inflatable toys for the kids. It was mentioned that we couldn’t have them because of Parks & Recreation’s liability.
Cabin Search: A few of us went to Pigeon Forge and checked out the Riverstone Spa & Resort. Those of us that went decided that this would be an ideal place for our reunion. Stanley reserved 4 units and told the others that they could reserve units and get the military discount if they reserved them under his name. It was discussed and some family members thought River stone was expensive;, so Davilla has found another place not too far from Riverstone that others might be interested in: Claboughcampground.com. (1-800-965-8524) They have log cabins& vacation homes, 2 BR Cottages.

Thaddeus, Dot, & Missi reported on the Tee-Shirts:
The company was Go Tees and the minimum order was 24. I think the Royal Blue with white lettering was $10 per Tee Shirt.
The Music for the picnic will be Jackie McDermott & Dewayne Nelson. It was suggested that one of the songs be “Family Reunion by the O’Jays”
Barry Sean gave an overview of what the web site of wallaceharper.com would entail. Only a few people would have administrative rights to the web site. I think he said that anyone can post to any of the sites that are tied to the web site. The other sites connected to wallaceharper.com are facebook, twitter, pinterest, & instagram.
There was a discussion about the picnic location. It was decided that the first reunion would be held at Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Park in Morristown, Tennessee.
Missis Riddick was appointed to be over the games for the picnic.
Adrian mentioned if we should have name tags for the event. Everyone thought this was a great ideal; so Adrian and Barry were assigned to be over that task.
A suggestion by Boogie was that we should start collecting money from those who plans on attending the event. We will discuss this further during our next conference call.
Those on the conference Call were: Stanley, Barry, Thad, Dot, Missi, Davilla, Boogie, Adrian, Rosa, Charles, Renaee, & Sean
It was agreed that we would have a conference call once a month until we get closer to the actual date. Our next conference call will be on Tuesday October 20 at 6 P.M. Eastern Standard Time.
