The Global Family Reunion is coming to the Western Reserve Historical Society <www.wrhs.org> on 6 Jun 2015.
Ann Sindelar of the Society received notice yesterday (25 Mar 2015) that the organization has been accepted as a remote site for the Global Family Reunion, GFR for short. The main event, which is expected to draw thousands, will be celebrated in New York City at the Science Pavilion on the grounds of the legendary 1964 World Fair. For details about GFR, go to http://globalfamilyreunion.com/.
