Over seventy descen

Abraham Christborough
Mungin and Lydia Miller
Mungin met in Savannah on
July 10-12 for their Second
Biennial Reunion. Family
members began arriving
Friday afternoon from various
cities in California,
Massachusetts, Alabama,
Florida, Washington DC,
Virginia and Georgia.
The Reunion Committee
hosted a “Meet and Greet” on
Friday evening at the Holiday
Inn in Midtown. After a deli
cious southern buffet meal,
members spent the remainder
of the evening visiting, sharing
stories and pictures and catch
ing up on events that have
occurred since the last reunion.
At the Business Meeting
on Saturday morning, the fol
lowing officers were elected to
serve for the next two years:
President - Lydia M. Harris;
Vice President - Phyllis Perry;
Recording Secretary - Shirlean
Barber; Assistant Secretary -
Terry Willis; Financial
Secretary - Marion M.
Howard; Treasurer - Rose P.
Arkwright; and Historian -
Byllye Y. R. Avery. Many fam
ily members were recognized
for academic achievements,
retirements and for “special”
milestone birthdays. After the
meeting, the group dispersed
for an afternoon of leisure to
shop, sightsee and tour the city.
Carey Hilliard's
Restaurant on Abercom was
the site for Saturday evening's
dinner. The theme for the fes
tivities was “In Celebration of
Us”. The family took pleasure
in the talents of many mem
bers. There were skits, songs,
and anecdotes to entertain and
enjoy.
The highlight was a trib
ute to our ancestors. At the end
of the evening, we honored two
centenarians, L. Alyce M.
Ingram (101 yrs) and Estella
Mells (100 yrs) and recognized
other members who are “80
years old and beyond”.
We were blessed to have
Lillie Watts, Rose Arkwright
and Charlie Mungin, all
beyond 80. On Sunday morn
ing the family received a royal
welcome from Pastor Edward
Ellis, Jr. and the congregation
at Historic First Bryan Baptist
Church.
The 2009 Reunion
Committee was co-chaired by
Byllye Avery and Marion
Howard. Committee members
were Sonya Avery, Mary Lou
Hall and Shirley (Joyce)
Taylor.
The family looks forward
to our 2011 Reunion which
will be on a Summer Cruise to
the Bahamas in celebration of
our fifth year anniversary.
