Hoyle & Beulah Hamrick
On Thursday, 16 November 2007 I received a phone call from Phil Kimbrell (my brother) letting me know that Laura Ervin, one of Fay's (Hamrick) daughters, was starting up plans to have a family reunion in April or May of 2008 and my very first reaction way, "This is great!!!".
As this is written it's in the very early stages of the process so for now it's just a matter of making contact with all family members to find out who would like to attend and to start gathering contact information. If you think that you would like to be there you can call me, send an email or you can post in the "Roll Call" Topic that I'll start shortly after this post is finished.
More detail will be posted later as it becomes available of course, you can keep checking back here from time to time, plus you may get a few emails and phone calls along the way.
Please Note: This will be an "Alcohol Free" event and no beverages of that type should be brought to the reunion. *We've setup some new features here on the FamilyForum where you can find contact information, or post your own, but you must be a member of the FamilyForum and logged in before you will be able to access that part of the site.
So, if you are not yet a member now would be a good time. 
If you would like to join in with us here on the FamilyForum you can take a look below to see who is eligible for membership... basically if you are a member of the Hamrick or Kimbrell families or related in some way then you can join... if in doubt just send me a note and I'll sort it out for you.
Who can become a member of Your FamilyForumThe short answer is... You must be a member of our family, or extended family.
The long answer follows:
Basically there three reference points;
G-G-Mother Mallie (Mallie Kimbrell)
GrandMa Kay (Kay Kimbrell)
G-Pa Ken (Ken Kimbrell)
If you are related to any one of the three of us then you are eligible to join and have access to all of the member boards and be able to post to Topic's and to start your own Topic if you wish to.
So if you are a child, grandchild, great-grandchild or great-great-grandchild you can sign up. Yes, G-G-GrandMother Mallie dose have g-g-gkids!
Also, if you are a spouse, step-child, niece, nephew, cousin, aunt or uncle who is related to us or one of our descendants then it's almost a sure bet that you are eligible and we encourage you to join in the family fun... basically if you are a member of the Hamrick or Kimbrell families or related in some way then you can join.
If you would like to join but are not sure of whether or not you may be eligible please feel free to send me an email and we will get it sorted out for you.
Our primary objective with this forum is to draw the family closer together by giving us a common place on the web to meet up with each other and keep each other up to date on family happenings by posting notes, pictures and stories about what's up where we/you are. Our family is spread out across the whole of the USA so we hope this will help us stay close.
The other primary concern we have here on the forum is safety and security for all of the children who will be viewing the content that gets posted here and plus there will be some of them who will be posting as well, so this is why we are holding such tight control over who can become a member.
We want all who are family to feel welcome and safe while here on the forums, so we intend to do everything within our power to keep out the bad folks you sometimes find on the web.
The main thing is for us to have a little fun and enjoy sharing with each other and be safe.
Enjoy... GPa Ken
