About
8 years ago we voted to hold the annual Younkin (Junghen) family reunion on
the 4th weekend in July. The planning committee will be busy planning the
details for the 2002 reunion soon! The first planning meeting for the
2002 reunion was held Nov. 4, 2001 at Kay Lynn Younkin Wilson's home at 6104
Kingwood Rd, Markleton, PA 15551 -- or call 814-926-3146
If you would like to attend the 2002 Junghen Family Reunion, please email me at donna@familytrail.com and we'll be sure to send you an invitation. Please fill out the printable form (click here) and mail it to Kay Lynn Younkin Wilson at the address above or Donna Logan, PO Box 340. Hancock, MD 21750.
SPECIAL NOTE - Due to increasing costs of printing flyers and mailing postage, the Reunion Committee decided last year to only mail the Reunion Invitation/Agenda to family members who have done one of the following:
1) attended a reunion in the past 3 years
2) sent either Donna Logan or Kay Lynn Wilson a SASE
3) sent a small financial donation to help with the costs
