Spring has sprung in most places across the northern hemisphere and most of us are weary of the cabin fever. I hope that you've accomplished a great deal over the winter months with your genealogical research. It's time, though, to turn our attention to getting outside, cleaning up the yard and perhaps visiting the family cemeteries, making research trips, and ... planning those wonderful family reunions.

If you haven't started working on the reunion that's scheduled to be held over Memorial Day weekend, I have news for you: it's ONLY three weeks away! Even if your reunion isn't planned until later in the summer or early in the fall, time's a-wasting! The April 28 newsletter included an excerpt from my book, Your Family Reunion: How to Plan It, Organize It, and Enjoy It, that discussed gathering family history at your reunion.

This week, I'd like to offer some fast-track advice for getting your family reunion together and focus more on the planning phases.
