2011 ABK Family Reunion Summary
Orlando, FL
May 27-29, 2011
Our 33rd Year!!
We want to thank the Florida Committee for doing a great job in hosting our 33rd annual reunion. There were 78 attendees representing the following states: Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
The reunion started with registration followed by a meet and greet and then the states meeting. People could not wait to get about. Some came before Friday and others hit the town Friday night.
Saturday morning breakfast was held in the hospitality suite followed by rehearsal for the ABK Choir. People were on their own and many hit the parks. Some went to The Holy Land Experience, Universal Studios, Disney, Kennedy Space Center or SeaWorld. The souvenirs; water bottle and back pack came in handy as it was hot. Others stayed around the hotel and conversed with the family. There were games in the hospitality suite for the kids. Those that had the energy left went to Universal City Walk on Saturday night. I heard that Bob Marley's was the place to be.
Sunday morning we had a breakfast banquet that included door prizes. The speaker was Mr. Philoron Wright. He spoke on educating our children. After a short break, we went into the church service.
The ABK Choir led Praise and Worship. The Word was bought forth by a SC native, Minister Laura Newsome of the Mt Carmel Baptist Church in Gainesville, FL. We recognized our "Fallen Leaves" and had words form the National chairperson,William Bacote.
Next year's reunion will be in Philadelphia, PA. Ms. Audrey Nazulme is heading the effort. Please give her and her committee your support.
See you next year in PHILLY!
