It looks like there will be TWO days
for West Virginians to have their reunion in The Villages, Florida. So, if you’re in Tampa or
Orlando or the northwest panhandle, find lodging for the weekend in or near The Villages.
The annual West Virginia Reunion will
be Sunday, March 3 in the Savannah Recreation Center. Doors will open at 11
a.m. The luncheon will start at 12:30 p.m.
Only those who have reservations for Sunday
can attend the West Virginia Social at Lake Miona Recreation Center at 6-8
p.m. Saturday, March 2. It's free for those who have tickets for Sunday.
That way you get two chances to meet up
with former West Virginia friends. Tables for Sunday’s Reunion are set up by
counties so that Marion Countians, will be at the same cluster of tables.

Suggestions from past events have included
having more time to socialize and something to do Saturday evening for those
who arrive early. We are very pleased that both those ideas have been
fulfilled.
The West Virginia Club in The Villages
is hosting a Saturday Evening Social on March 5 for those who will be attending
the luncheon the following day. The event will be held from 6:00 to 8:00
PM at the Lake Miona Recreation Center located at 1526 Buena Vista
Boulevard. The recreation center is south of the Savannah Center between
CR 466 and CR 466A at the intersection of Buena Vista Boulevard and Bailey
Trail.
While there is no additional charge to attend
this event, reservations are necessary.
To make your reservation, please reply to this email indicating the total
number of reservations you are making. In case others in your party
arrive at a different time than you do, please let them know in whose name the
reservation is being made.
Please plan on attending this event that will
feature light refreshments, a 50/50 drawing and plenty of time to socialize
with other West Virginians.
Remember, this event is for those registered
for the luncheon on Sunday, and you must make a reservation in order to attend
Saturday evening. Reservations will be accepted until Tuesday, March 1 or
the capacity of the recreation center room is reached.
Thanks to the West Virginia Club for hosting
this event!
If you want to attend, email Steve Knicely at
Paula and I were at
the 2015 West Virginia Picnic (name changed to Reunion this year) in The
Villages. So was Pat Meredith Wills, Class of 1950, who lives on Crescent Beach
just south of St. Augustine Beach, Florida with husband Don Wills, a Fairmont West
graduate and former athlete.
Karen Rodriguez, a 1960 Fairmont East grad, was involved in tickets for the 2015 reunion.
