Upcoming Ngon Family ReunionsNotifying everyone in advance to bring old photos and documents can bring big rewards, making a special place at the reunion (maybe even a special Ngon booth) where people can come at their leisure to sit, look and chat; in addition to information and clues that might be written on the back of a photo, every photograph has a story and serves as an excellent stimulus to recall -- people might comment not only on the people in the photo, but also on what's in the background, or they might have information around where the photo was taken or the event -- just be sure to have someone there to capture new information. The article "Family Reunions Don't Always Turn Out as one has Pictured" may provide you with tips for hosting a successful Ngon reunion.
