Everything you need to know for the reunion

This year's theme honors our ancestors and the generations that came before us. It will be reflected in our activities, storytelling, and closing banquet.

What payment plan options are available?
We offer several flexible ways to pay:
- •Pay in full today

- •Pay in 3 equal payments
- •Register now, pay later
Final payments are due by June 15, 2026. Payment details and due dates will be shown during registration.
What should I wear to the Saturday Banquet?
Semi-casual and comfortable for the Texarkana heat. Jook joint–inspired looks are welcome.
Some family members may choose to dress more in theme, and that's okay. Others may keep it simple — that's okay too.
Examples that work well:
- • Light dresses or skirts
- • Short-sleeve button-downs or polos
- • Blouses or nice tops
- • Dark jeans, slacks, or loose pants
- • Linen or cotton outfits
- • Comfortable shoes (flats, dress shoes, sandals, or boots)
- • Hats, jewelry, or bold touches if you'd like
This is not required and not judged. If you're comfortable and dressed nicely, you're right on time.
