Reunion school is in session
  These are exciting opportunities to learn how to plan reunions. These are all ideal for beginners and experienced reunion organizers looking for new, fresh ideas.

 We add new conferences, workshops and seminars as we learn about them. Send yours. We often learn about upcoming events too late to include in Reunions magazine (send six months in advance), but we always add them to this site. E-mail to reunions@execpc.com; fax (414-263-6331); or send to Reunions magazine, PO Box 11727, Milwaukee WI 53211-0727.
  We include references to workshops without dates set but you should contact them to ask about their future plans; also remind them to notify us.
  Other good sources to learn about reunions are at genealogy societies and their conferences and/or workshops. Check their programs and if you belong to a society, ask the program chairperson to arrange a reunion workshop or program.
