Damie Lee Burton Howard Family Reunion
July 23–25, 2027
Family,
We’re excited to invite you to gather with us for the Damie Lee Burton Howard Family Reunion, happening Friday, July 23, 2027 through Sunday, July 25, 2027. This weekend is about reconnecting, celebrating our roots, and continuing the legacy we share as one family.
We truly hope you’ll join us.
How to Join Us
To join us for the reunion, completing the Membership Enrollment Form serves as your RSVP. When you submit your enrollment, you are letting us know that your household plans to attend and participate in the weekend’s activities.
Enrollment is completed by submitting the official Membership Enrollment Form online. This ensures your household information is accurate, your dues are recorded properly, and your membership is formally established. Once confirmed, your household will be officially counted in for the reunion.
Family Membership
Our family reunion operates on a household membership, with dues of $20.00 per month per household. These dues help us plan meaningful events, cover reunion costs, stay connected as a family, and ensure the reunion continues for future generations.
What We Mean by “Household”
A household includes:
- One adult who is 19 years of age or older
- A spouse or partner who is 17 years of age or older, in accordance with Nebraska law
- Any dependents who are 18 years of age or younger
Everyone in your household is covered under a single membership.
Staying in Good Standing
When your household dues are current, your membership is considered Active, and your household is fully included in all reunion events and meetings.
If dues are not current, your membership becomes Inactive, and we’ll need to bring things up to date before the reunion so you can fully participate with the family.
We’ve planned a full weekend of fellowship and fun.
Participation in all reunion events is reserved for households with Active membership, so everyone can enjoy the weekend together without worry.
