Full Hodges Family Invitation Letter<\/a><\/p>\n

Hello Family!!<\/p>\n

You may have heard the rumors, and they are ALL true. It\u2019s time to get serious and jump on the Hodges Family Reunion 2015 train.\u00a0\u00a0 And do you know what that means? Time to reunite in beautiful, Decatur, IL!<\/p>\n

Tanja Hodges and Deatri (Hodges) King-Bey are heading up the effort to bring this event together; however, Aaron Hodges is making all the decisions and doing most of the talking. He has chosen to stick with tradition and have the reunion the weekend of the Greater Decatur Celebration<\/strong> \u2013 so there will be tons of entertaining activities going on.<\/p>\n

Schedule of Events<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Meet and Greet<\/strong> at the Homewood Suites by Hilton (Conference Area)<\/p>\n

Friday, August 7, 2015 from 6pm-8pm<\/p>\n

Appetizers, Chips, Cookies, and Soft drinks will be served. At 8pm people can either gather in the spacious great room and visit, or if you prefer the Greater Decatur Celebration will be in full swing downtown that evening.<\/p>\n

Greater Decatur Celebration Day Parade<\/strong> in Downtown Decatur<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 8, 2015 from 10 am until you want to leave<\/p>\n

For those who are willing and able, we will gather downtown (in our Hodges Family Reunion T-shirts) to watch the parade. Then enjoy the sights and sounds of the celebration. Then you can spend the day enjoying time roaming the Celebration with your aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, cousins, and friends.<\/p>\n

People to the Patio<\/strong> at Homewood Suites by Hilton<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 8, 2015 from 11pm to 2pm<\/p>\n

For those not attracted by the Celebration activities, we\u2019ll host a more laid back afternoon gathering. Come and sit back on the patio, relax, enjoy a lunch, and engage in the art of conversation.<\/p>\n

Family Dinner and a Short Program\u2013 Hodges Style<\/strong> (Place TBA)<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 8, 2015 from 5:30pm to 8:00pm<\/p>\n

We are planning a full catered meal (at 6 pm<\/strong>) with multiple main dish choices (a beef, a chicken, and a pasta); however, your response dictates where we can have it. We are a big family, so some places just won\u2019t hold us all. We are going to need your early commitment (and fees) to make this work. And after the meal, you can head back to the hotel patio for some evening conversation and relaxation, or go downtown for more Celebration fun.<\/p>\n

Sound like a blast?\u00a0\u00a0 YOU BET IT DOES!\u00a0\u00a0 So please, fill out the enclosed form and send in your fees as soon as you can. Regular registration ended June 15 and late registration began.<\/p>\n

If you have questions or concerns call Mary Hodges at 217-877-2785 or Tanja Hodges at 217-365-0302.<\/p>\n

Looking forward to seeing you REALLY soon.<\/p>\n

–\u00a0\u00a0 Deatri and Tanja<\/p>\n
