Camden-Florida Reunion 2019 Plans

After leading the reunion for the past 13 years, Bruce Theobald has opted to relinquish that role and requested other participants to consider operating the event. Bruce offered to assist any person(s) in any way to help make a smooth and successful process in maintaining the annual event which so many people have enjoyed over the past years. Fortunately, as this year’s reunion was breaking up, the following people volunteered to continue the reunion event: Wendy & Denny Wimmer, Darlene & Ben Laduc, Ron Roberson & Trish Bell.

Therefore, next year’s winter Camden-Florida Reunion has been scheduled for Wednesday January 23, 2019, again starting at 10:00 am at the Golden Corral on Route 466, ½ mile east of Route 301 in THE VILLAGES.  

A fee of $13.00 per person includes an “all you wish to eat” lunch, drink, tax and tip. To have an accurate account of expected attendance, reservation request and checks should be RECEIVED no later than Jan 16, 2019 by Bruce Theobald, 2115 Santo Domingo Dr., The Villages, FL 32159. Late requests should be phoned to Bruce at 352-205-7225. If you are considering attending it would be a good idea to put the above information on your December calendar as a reminder.
