With advance notice, the Winston-Salem Visitor Center encourages all new visitors and groups to start their family reunion or tour of the area at the Visitor Center. The center is housed in a complex that is on the National Historic Register. We welcome groups with coffee and Moravian ginger cookies, or if you prefer, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Our visitor information specialists are available to tell a few stories about the area. Additionally, the center has a gift shop, which specializes in Winston-Salem and North Carolina gifts, art work by local artists, an extensive collection of books with topics unique to our area, and of course post cards.
 The Ultimate Family Reunion Checklist
Reunions, whether they are family, high school, college,
or even military, are meant to be enjoyable gatherings that provide
a chance to catch up and become reacquainted.
Reunion planners typically consist of a small
committee that handles all of the details. We've compiled
an extensive checklist to
meet all of your planning needs. All you'll need to do is
sign up for the committee, fret about what to wear and find enough
time
to attend as many functions as possible. If you become a member
of a reunion planning committee, we offer this helpful checklist.

Theme Suggestions
Are you thinking of a theme for
your family reunion? A theme can help with the getting-to-know-you
process for family members who
don't know each other. Click

for some ideas to get you started.
Ideas for Games
Games are an easy and fun way to introduce family members. Click
here for few examples of games that can be played with family
members of all ages.
Reunion Timetable
These are suggestions for the process, as well as the time it
takes to plan a reunion. This timetable
is also good for checking your progress or as agenda considerations
for committee meetings. If your family has a newsletter, share
some of these steps from time to time. Family members can better
appreciate their part, if they know the entire timeline. For example,
they might return reservations on time if the schedule is known.
