2011 Reunion

Thanks to 45 cousins who came to our 7th Robert Reunion from April 7th to 10th in Bunkie, Evergreen, and Moncla. I know that those of you unable to attend were with us in spirit. We missed you!

Cousins came from 6 states and there were several first-timers. They will be wonderful additions to our family and we welcome them.

Our president-elect, Jerrel Chafin, was not in good health at the time of our reunion, so he will continue as president-elect for the next two years. Here are all our officers for the next two years:

President - Marie Hiott McEntire, Franklin, Tennessee
Vice President - Charlotte Roy, Mansura, Lousiana
Secretary - Emily Blakewood Campbell, New Orleans, Louisiana
Treasurer - Ann Hiott Barham, Winson-Salem, North Carolina
Historian/WebMaster - Marie McEntire, our president
Publicity - Irma Catherine Goulas, Bunkie, Louisiana
President Elect - Jerrel Chafin, Lafayette, Louisiana

One of our cousins, Celeta Cook, who faithfully attended most of our reunions, passed away on November 30, 2010. Her daughter, Betty Williams, has been our Vice President at least twice. We extend to her our heartfelt sympathy and apologize for not calling the attention of the family to this at our last meeting. Her mother was a beautiful lady.

The site of the 2013 reunion will be announced by the new president, Marie, at a later date. I can only tell you it will not be Bunkie - Evergreen.

Nous sommes fier de notre heritage. Let's continue to uphold the memory of our forefathers with honor and pride.  http://www.bayourouge.org/Cemetery.htm

Thanks for allowing me to serve,

Robert Family Association President, 2009-2011
