2010 Gross-Harris Family Reunion
June 24-27, 2010
Washington, D.C. - metro area
National Harbor

The 2010 Gross-Harris Family Reunion will provide the opportunity for our children
to experience a greater appreciation of our history, pride in our ancestors and joy
in our accomplishments.  At the Gross-Harris Family Reunion of 2010, we want to take
 time to rejoice and revel in knowing that we are not alone, and that we come
from a long, line of God-loving, brilliant, and kindly people, who care for one another.
 
 
It is our hope that we can make this reunion one of the very best!  We want to be a  
part of helping keep the family history alive and well for generations to come.

The success of the 2010 reunion depends on the dedication and commitment of every
family member to attend.  The fact that you are reading this letter 8 months in
advance should encourage you to begin planning for this memorable weekend.

If you have never been to Washington, DC or you are long overdue for a getaway
then make the 2010 Gross-Harris Family Reunion.  You can go by what used to be the
"Southern Diner" the premier Gross family restaurant, black owned in the District
of Columbia, when very few businesses where black-owned.

The Gross website is here for your convenience, to guide and show you from "whence
we came," and how far you can go with the DNA inherent in you and passed down through
the ages to you.

We will showcase current events in our family and get to know one another again. 
Please feel free to take full advantage of all the exciting pages available for your
preview and interaction.  We welcome all family photos of any Memorable Events that
you would like to share with your family, as well as pictures of our Ancestors, Favorite
Pets, Best Friends, Family Reunion gatherings, etc.

Enjoy this website; tell every family member and your friends about it, load pictures
of you and your family.

We love you and look forward to seeing you soon.
