Fundraising ideas were tossed around last year
and some of the suggestions were an auction selling
collages of he 10 elders, creating a recipe book, host-
ing a photo swap, selling t-shirts and promotional
items such as water bottles, keychains, etc. A print
on demand shop was being considered to offer
promotional items such from mouse pads, cups,
aprons, t-shirts etc., where the family can
conveniently place their own individual orders.

Last but not least, we have a new addition to our
reunion contacts. The Singleton Phoenix Family Website
has been launched to serve as an online hub for our
family. This website will be another communication tool
along with the ability to archive our family history
This site features the family history of the Singleton and
Phoenix families with a family tree. In addition you can
enjoy photos from past reunions as well as upload your
own photos to share or create a personal profile with
your picture, add family announcements and use
PayPal to make a donation to the family reunion fund.
Visit: www.SingletonPhoenixFamily.webs.com and
become a member today. Again I repeat, suggestions
about the previous activities, future wants and needs is
an ongoing opportunity for you to help make our family
reunion more interesting and exciting.
The door is open and we welcome your participation.
Current Reunion Committee:
Co-Chairs: Amber Lovett and Shawna Proctor
