Facility Checklist
Save embarrassment and protect your family. Use the checklist below to help make sure the facility where you plan to hold your family reunion is adequate.
Choose a Facility
What kind of facility will your family meet in? For example, do you intend to gather at one of these kinds of places?
- Someone's home.
- A local church, park or community facility.
- A restaurant, perhaps one that serves ethnic food that fits your family's heritage.
- A resort center or hotel.
- A campground.
The facility you choose depends in part on the size of your reunion. Unless some family member has a a mammoth-size home and grounds, it's unlikely you'll want to hold a reunion with 150 or more persons at a family dwelling. But a home can be perfect for a reunion of fifteen or twenty.
As you look for a facility to host your family reunion, print out the checklist of things to consider. It contains many of the common features a location needs for the reunion to be successful. There's room to add extra items that are specific to your family reunion.
