The Family Teenage Committee

Calling all teenagers in our family from the ages of 15-18yrs old and/or in high School. We putting together a committee for the teenagers to build togetherness and work ethics to our family members. They will build ideas to raise money, volunteer at family functions, and have lots of fun together as a family.

I will also include ideas from my personal business to help motivate and educate them on the importance of living a positive, happy, and successful life.

Our first meeting will be at my house 29 Pleasant St., Bpt., CT 06608 and I want to encourage everyone to join.

Our first event was last week at Ruthy's & David's 10yr. Anniversary party and the teenagers volunteer their time and serve food. They were excellent!!! So I want to give a shout out to the following :

Darryl Anderson, Da'vaun McAllister, Mark Bush, Jermika Sheffey, Sharlae Bush,
Jayteshia Minick and Jayneshia Minick. You guys did a wonderful job!!!

Get Ready!! THE NEXT BUSH-BELLE FAMILY REUNION 2010 !!!

It's time to get ready family for next year family reunion. We have to start raising money and putting fun events together so we can enjoy yet another family reunion. Last year reunion was awesome!! Being the first (2 day) reunion I will have to pat the committee on their backs; because we pulled it together. Now, that we know what to expect it's time to plan ahead. We tried to get everyone to donate $10 per person and it was difficult. I would be embarrassed to say this in public. But, it was difficult. I'm chucking it up as they didn't realize what we were trying to do. Now, that everyone had seen the hall that was rented, the decorations that was paid for, awards that were given, the music, film for pictures, food for the picnic, decorations for the picnic, games, etc. This can become very expensive and some committe members came out of their pockets. With a family as big as ours it shouldn't had to resort to that.

We will be putting on events to raise money as well as continue to pull our family closer together. Please support your family in every event possible and donate!!! We know it's a recession and this is why it's import to do what you can; when you can. If you know it's difficult to give through out the year, make sure you donate during tax season. Do what you can, when you can so we can sit back in August and have fun!!!
