Let's Shoot for 200+

(Descendants "step back in time" to gather around Nathaniel, Hattie, and children at the 2003 reunion)
Since its beginning, annual attendance at the Nathaniel Moss family reunion has grown to an average of 155 people. This year, let's shoot for 200 or more! Not for the sake of the number itself, but rather to engage those who seldom or never attend our celebration of family. Relatives who may arrive with stories, family insight, or an heirloom to share . . . a great recipe or dish (who brings that delicious peanut butter fudge every year, anyway?), ideas for future gatherings . . . or maybe just a strange desire to get hit with an egg or water balloon. Or maybe they just arrive!

Please invite and encourage as many relatives as possible to attend this year's reunion!

Some other interesting statistics:

• Only about one third of those in attendance each year actually have Moss as their current surname. Your last name certainly doesn't have to be Moss to belong and share in the family fun! If Nathaniel Moss is your ancestor, this reunion exists for you and your family to celebrate our shared heritage.
• One family member from last year's reunion got to hear a previously unknown story about one of his own father's childhood experiences from one of our elders. Could this be your year to share or take away your own personal gem?
