On Saturday, September 11, 2010, Sixty Two people ranging in age from 18 months to 83 years gathered at the Ridgedale Baptist Church Playground for the twenty fifth annual McDaris Family Reunion. It was a tremendous success. My prayer for nice weather was answered. It was perfect (mid eighties, low humidity).
Many thanks go to a lot of people for the success of this reunion. Debbie and Doug Goode (Bettye McDaris’ son and daughter-in-law) for arranging the location; Terry and Kathy Dreger, Bill and Valerie Lyle, Sarah Lyle for all their help in planning the decorations, setting up the tables, cleanup, etc. And a special thanks to Sarah Lyle for having the beautiful blessing as we all held hands and sang our daughter-in-law, Kathy’s New York version of “The Lord is Good to me.” And many thanks to all of those who brought the great food, I think we had enough to feed another 62 people. Everything was delicious.
The biggest hit of the day was the Golf Cart that Doug Goode brought and rode the smaller children around the playground. Also, thanks go to Glenda McDaris Thompson for working so hard on the McDaris’ Girls Cookbook. She spent many hours coordinating this book and getting it together. We also need to thank her for keeping the address book current.
