Our first meeting will be held on Sunday; April 11, 2010 at the Fairfield Inn located at 7044 Hacks Cross Road in Olive Branch, Mississippi. Meeting will start promptly at 2:45 p.m. The family will discuss the details of our 2011 family reunion. We will be given a tour at promptly 3:30 of Whispering Woods and the grounds during this time. Darin and Pam will be calling in the next few days to get a head count and to get a list of finger foods to be served during the meeting. Please if you are able, plan to attend the planning meeting. The most important thing that we can do for our future generations is to become the strong family that God destined us to be. Our reunions are times for us to plant the seeds of our roots into our younger generations and also to give them the wings in which they need to fly. The meeting should last no longer than 6:00 p.m. Please forward this information to all of the family and have them to contact Darin or Pam if they plan to attend the meeting on 4/11/2010. Thank each of you in advance and may God bless you and keep you. PAMELA GUY-STRAYHORN |

From Pamela Guy-Strayhorn:
The Guy Family Reunion 2011 will be the start of our next 100 years. In 2011 we will be able to trace our rich heritage back 201 years. In starting the beginning of this trek into our 300 years we have become a strong and mighty family. Many things have been accomplished since Millie Guy came into being in a world that was filled with slavery and bondage. As we begin this next generation, we now being many in number and much in strength through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, need to continue to bring advancement into our family. As the days come closer to our beautiful and joyous event, Darin and myself have decided to turn our gala into a four day affair. The dates of our reunion will be July 7, 2011 until July 10, 2011. An official letter will be mailed in the month of January giving the cost, the lodging accommodations, and the date of our first meeting which will be in April of 2010. Also during this meeting we will be discussing the costs of starting our family foundation. Darin and myself intend to have our foundation set up by the 2011 meeting. And we intend to have the Phoenix family cemetery up under this foundation by this time.
