We are pleased to invite your family to attend the 2019 May Reunion. Please make your reservations as soon as possible at May Lodge by calling 800-325-0142 and telling them you are with the May Reunion. A block of rooms and cabins will be held for reunion attendees until mid-August, but they are usually filled much sooner.

Other motels are also available in the area.

A room will be available throughout the weekend for guests to display memorabilia of their respective branches of the family line. Family trees, photos, deeds, quilts, needlework, essays, books, and various personal items have been shared and enjoyed by everyone at past reunions. We encourage you to bring any items you would like to share with the group. This has been a great feature of previous reunions!! Also, Patty invites anyone that might like to bring a stringed instrument to play in the conference room for the enjoyment of our guests.

Our theme this year is "The Gathering, The Harvest." If you are, or know a local artisan, Appalachian crafter, or a vendor who meets our theme, please have them contact Patty to reserve vendor space. Table space will be free; however, space is very limited.

There will be a table dedicated to the memory of family members who have passed away during the years since we renewed the May Reunion in 1996. A record book for each year has been prepared and includes a page for every family member of whose death we have knowledge. PLEASE send to me or bring to the reunion any photos, obituaries and biographical sketches that you would like to have included in these Memorial Records.

We look forward to seeing YOU.

Fred May will speak about the history of the May House, with emphasis on Thomas May and his descendants, who lived there for over a century, and saved the house we admire to this day.
