2024 Shockey Family Reunion Newsletter

Hi dear family!

Family reunion time is here again, Another quick trip around the sun.  

Our reunion this year is on Sunday, July 7, 2024. We will be celebrating after July 4 this year as the first Sunday falls on July 7.

Our hope is that as many as possible can do their best to attend again this year. Not many families continue this tradition. We do.

The emails listed are the latest emails we have for everyone. If you do not see a family member’s name, it’s because they don’t have an email, or we don’t have their email. I will ’snail’ mail the newsletter to family members who don’t have emails but do have mailing addresses. If you don’t see a family member’s name on this email, please reach out to them and let them know the date, time, and location of our reunion. We try our best to keep current but a lot can change from year to year. I know we have had several marriages. Happy and loving times for sure, and more family. Lol

Here’s hoping to see everyone at this year’s family reunion!

Love to all!
Vicki

2022 Shockey Family Reunion Newsletter

Hi Dear Family,

Hope this finds everyone doing well. It's hard to believe it's family reunion time again.  COVID (for the most part) is finally behind us. 

I'm sorry to say there is still no buffet being served at the Charles Town Race Track so no stuffing ourselves with delicious food and winning all of the money betting on horses. LOL

We will still be golfing this year. We play at The Woods Resort. It's a fun event and you don't have to be good to play. Our newsletter has the details.  

We know we have family members who have moved, gotten married. As a result we probably have outdated information on names, addresses and emails.  Will you please let me know of any changes and/or updates?  Also, I know there are a few family members who don't have emails.  I 'snail mail' the ones I have current addresses for but there may be a few I don't have current addresses.  Would those of you who have received this, please contact those family members and give them details about this year's reunion?

Looking forward to seeing everyone at our reunion this year.

Blessings!

Love to All!

2021 Shockey Family Reunion Newsletter

Hi Dear Family,

I hope this finds everyone doing well and hanging in there. This past year has been a difficult one for sure. COVID has changed us all forever in one way or another. Let's continue to be strong and faithful and carry on in HIS name.

We are having our Reunion this year!! We are having to make adjustments to our normal Reunion activities because of COVID but we have never missed a reunion in over 40 years and we will keep on keeping on.

The Charles Town Races are still not serving their buffet in the Skyline Terrace, therefore, we won't be going to the races on Friday night. This is something several of us look forward to every year. We're hoping things will be back to normal next year and we will once again be at "Friday Night at the Races'.

The Shockey Family home church, St. Luke's UMC, recently opened with very strict attendance guidelines. Our committee had a lengthy discussion about church attendance this year. We ultimately felt it is still an individual comfortability level, and feel everyone may want to worship in a place and way they feel personally most comfortable again this year.

Also, since this year our Reunion is on July 4. We moved our "eating/reunion" time to 1:00 PM. This will allow our family members who may have other picnics going on that day the time to attend both picnics. We sure hope you can stop by if only for a short time. It's so important to keep this family tradition going.

Just wanted to mention these few 'exceptions' to this year's Reunion. Our attached family Newsletter has the rest of the information you'll need for our reunion.

Very important for those family members who have received this email, please check for any incorrect or missing family emails. If you know of a family member who does not have an email address, please let them know about the details of this year's Reunion. We try to keep current with emails and we even 'snail mail' but a lot of contact information can change in a year.

Thank you for being an awesome family!

Blessings,

Love to all

2020 Family Union Update

Hi dear family,

Hope this finds everyone doing well and staying healthy. These are definitely trying times but this too shall pass. Faith!

I apologize for not getting this letter out sooner.  Covid has made it difficult to get the answers and guidelines needed to make decisions for this year's reunion.

Our committee has struggled about having our reunion this year, and quite frankly, we have changed our minds a few times as the guidelines have changed.  

Here is what we are planning for our reunion this year.  Yes, we will have a Shockey Family Reunion on Sunday, July 5 at 2pm in Martinsburg, WV. It will be at the War Memorial Park, Norwalk Pavillion. We will be eating and 'social distancing' socializing.  There will be no additional activities this year to avoid any unnecessary contact of any kind.  The reunion will be providing and serving cafeteria style, fried chicken, 2 sides and a desert.  If you feel comfortable and want to bring a food dish to share, please do. The reunion will also be providing plates, napkins and eating utensils. We are asking each person/family to bring their own drinks.  This will avoid touching ice, cups, etc.

Margie is organizing a golf outing on Friday, July 3.  If you are interested in golfing, she would like you to call her at 304-283-4621.

There will be no Friday night at Charles Town Races.  St. Lukes Church is not currently physically open for church, we are zooming at the present.

We understand and appreciate everyone has a different comfort level.  We all need to do what we feel is right and comfortable for us and our loved ones.  We respect each person's decision wholeheartedly.  Having said that, we look forward to seeing as many family members as possible.  For the ones that aren't able to attend this year, please mark the first Sunday in July for our reunion next year. 

If you are planning on attending this year, could you give us a quick text or phone call?  Not absolutely necessary but a rough count of people will help with our food purchases. Thanks!

I'm sure there are some family members whose email may not be up to date or do not have email at all.  Would those of you who have received this, please contact those family members and give them the details about this year's reunion?

Blessings!

Love to All,

Reunion Committee: Vicki (540-336-0573), Margie (304-283-4621), Sandy (540-323-3011), Juanita (540-247-3183)

CHANGE FOR OUR 2015 REUNION

 

Charles Town Races will not be having any horse racing from July 1-8. As a result, we will not be going to the horse races on Friday night.  I was told there would be no racing because of fireworks most of the week around July 4.

 

We, as your Reunion committee, tried to think of a suitable replacement for our Friday night “at the Races”. We discussed several ideas but at the end of the meeting we felt it was best to discuss any changes at the Reunion this year.

We are uncertain at this point if Charles Town Races will continue to shut down racing the week of July 4.  One idea we discussed was to move the Reunion weekend up or back one week. So put your thinking caps on concerning any thoughts or ideas you have for next year’s Reunion.

NEW DAY-MONDAY, JULY 6, 2015
