2021 Dutch Cousins Gathering
| Hello Dutch Cousins! Has cabin fever got you down? Are you ready for a breakout? We are happy to announce the dates for our 2021 Dutch Cousins Gathering! September 24-27, 2021 Your DC Board has approved some schedule changes based on input from various members at our 2019 Gathering. (October dates were not available at our venue.) We are shortening our days for the 2021 Gathering by eliminating Thursday. Following is an abbreviated schedule: Sept. 24 – Friday – Kentucky State University Harold R. Benson Farm 8:00am-12:00noon Set up of venue, Silent Auction and Heritage Tables 12:00pm – 1:00pm Lunch 1:00pm Business Meeting 3:00 pm Start of our programs (dinner at 5:00pm) Sept. 25 – Saturday – Kentucky State University Harold R. Benson Farm – 9:00am start programs -12:00pm Lunch -1:00pm continue programs. There will not be a field trip this year. Many have requested more time at the venue for networking and visiting with cousins. -5:00pm Dinner and Keynote Speaker Sept. 26 – Sunday – Old Mud Meeting House -10:30am Service Many members requested an earlier service, allowing more travel time to return home. Lunch is on your own. Sept. 27 -Monday – Harrodsburg Historical Society – Dutch Cousins Research Day Because of COVID-19 we need to get a preliminary count for reservations. If we have enough cousins ready for some face-to-face interaction, we will move forward finalizing our plans. We need to make sure that we will be able to cover our bills. Please contact King and Sharon if you plan to attend by February 8th. Sincerely Looking Forward to Seeing Your Faces in September! Tamara Fulkerson Dutch Cousins President 2020-2021 P.S. Please talk to everyone you know about Dutch Cousins. Our goal is to have higher attendance at our gatherings. We hope to be able to attract more cousin participation by more people being directed to our website and then signing up for our newsletter. We currently have about 800 subscribers. Attached is a flyer that you may use to post on bulletin boards and forward in emails. (Thank you, Cynthia Byxbee,!) Please send this flyer to any genealogy group or history organization that you know of, asking for them to pass it on. |
