We are also pleased to announce we are making long-range plans for a Lilly Museum to store artifacts, historical papers,
etc. which relate to the Lilly Family. Don’t Destroy Old Items.
Contact Sarah Chapman (304-763-3600.) Also at the Souvenir Booth, there will be
program books, ribbons, hats, and shirts. Hook-ups for RV’s are available on the grounds.
Rental fee for RV’s or tents is $15.00 per night. (Call Eugene Lilly (304-763-3135).
Susan Weikle and Jimmy McBride, co-chairmen of the youth, work very hard to provide activities
for the children and youth. Many new and delightful activities have been introduced and will be included
this year, and we will have a variety of the popular inflatable games. Bring the children to the reunion,
they will remember the fun and want to return.
The past
three years, board members have made many improvements to the Lilly Reunion buildings and grounds. We plan
to continue this effort until everything is repaired, and then other needs will be addressed. A shelter
over parts of the seating area (40 x 60 ft.) in front of the stage, which will protect the audience from the sun and the rain
has been completed. Engraved plaques will be mounted on a post or placed in the
dining area to designate memorial donations or individual donors. These donations are $100 and can be made to Sarah
Chapman. Donations of a lesser amount will be printed in the program book (names only/ not amounts).
The Board of Directors greatly appreciates any contribution you can make. It takes folks like
you to meet the financial need to complete this project. We really appreciate your financial contributions. For
a contribution of $10.00 or more you will receive a free copy of the Lilly Reunion Program Book. Please
pick up your book at the Souvenir Booth. In order to get your name in the 2010 program book, your
donation must be received by July 10, 2010. Make checks payable to the Lilly
Reunion Association and mail to Mary Beth DeMaria, 40 Oriole Place, Beckley, WV 25801.
