Roberts' Reunion |
|
Choose a year from the menu on the left to view past reunions and the family members that attended them. Every 4th Saturday in June, the Roberts Family holds a reunion at the Boma Community Center in Boma, Tennessee. The Boma Community Center stands on the property where the Boma School once stood. Many descendants of Joseph Roberts attended that school. At the reunions we have dinners with food provided by some of the greatest cooks around, all on a volunteer basis. It is a covered dish or pot luck dinner (that's the noon meal). As one Pastor put it, "Bring a covered dish with something in it that is good to eat!" He did this after one member brought a covered dish to a dinner with nothing in it. When asked why she brought just a covered dish, she replied "That's what you asked us to bring!" It has grown to be a tradition at the reunion to present to family members a jar of home-made jelly or jam who are the winners of various categories. These include, the one who traveled the greatest distance, the one with the most (Roberts) family members present, the oldest, the youngest, and this year to the most recently married couple. The 2004 reunion was another good reunion with approximately 80 family members present. The 2004 Reunion Agenda is posted for your review.
