An invitation to the ELMORE-STRADER Reunion
Saturday JULY 26, 2008
10AM - ?
What to bring:
1. A covered dish and table service
2. A new relative
3. Pictures of unidentified relatives
4. Your talent

This year the reunion will be held at New Salem's Picnic Area Pavillion #1. Menard Co, Illinois

For more information and directions just email me and I will give you contact information.

At past reunions we have had a good attendance of folks who descend from the Green Co, KY Elmores and Straders. New Salem and the surrounding counties (Mason, Menard, Sangamon etc) is full of descendants of Green Countians. Come join the fun, we look forward to this event every year.

Anybody from KY show up? Just curious my IL cousin!

I dont remember anyone from KY being there... but there have been people from other states attend. The reunion will be held again this July if anyone is interested.

We are kind of sad today, because one of the original organizers of the Illinois reunions passed away and her funeral is tonight. We will deeply miss Patty Elmore Bartel. She was a great gal.

Please extend my sympathy to everyone from your distant relative.

When in July is this being held? I would really love to meet you all.
