Wrispus Family Reunion at Comerica Park, Home of the Detroit Tigers
he Wrispus Family Reunion changes locations every two years. The previous one was in Oak Brook, Illinois, and the next will be in Washington, DC. For this reunion, we chose the Sheraton at Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus, Michigan, for its proximity to the airport. The beauty of the hotel was the free parking and good room rates for three days. The organizer is the person who did all the family genealogy and presented and held the first reunion. The historian gives a presentation about our family history. At the banquet we have introduction of families. The head of each family introduces all of that family’s members. We stay in touch on Facebook with updates about family events and we also post pictures. The treasurer and the committee chairperson handle finances. The Michigan family had fundraisers and donations and registration fees for this reunion. Kids participate in the meet and greet and registration. We had an icebreaker in which members went around the group with a list of 10 questions to find a particular person. Reported by Gloria Cole, Pontiac, Michigan.
