Also at the Souvenir Booth, there will be program books, ribbons, hats, and shirts. Hook-ups
for RV’s are available on the grounds. Rental fee for RV’s or tents is $15.00 per night. (Call
Berndel Lilly (304-787-3326).
Susan Weikle and Jimmy McBride, co-chairmen
of the youth, work very hard to provide activities for the children and youth. Many new and delightful
activities have been introduced and will be included this year, and we will have a variety of the popular inflatable games.
Bring the children to the reunion, they will remember the fun and want to return. The past three years, board members have made many improvements
to the Lilly Reunion buildings and grounds. We plan to continue this effort until everything is repaired,
and then other needs will be addressed. A shelter over parts of the seating area (40 x 60 ft.) in
front of the stage, which will protect the audience from the sun and the rain has been completed.
Engraved plaques will be mounted on a post or placed in the dining area to designate memorial donations or individual
donors. These donations are $100 and can be made to Sarah Chapman. Donations of a lesser amount
will be printed in the program book (names only/ not amounts). The Board of Directors greatly appreciates
any contribution you can make. It takes folks like you to meet the financial need to complete this
project. We really appreciate your financial contributions. For a contribution of $10.00 or more you will
receive a free copy of the Lilly Reunion Program Book. Please pick up your book at the Souvenir Booth.
In order to get your name in the 2009 program book, your donation must be received by July 10, 2009.
Make checks payable to the Lilly Reunion Association and mail to Mary Beth
DeMaria, 40 Oriole Place, Beckley, WV 25801.
