Hello Family,

The Smith Anderson Hubbard Family Reunion is just a few months away, and we can’t wait to gather in the DMV! This year’s theme, “Generations of Love and Legacy,” celebrates the bonds that connect us across generations—the stories passed down, the traditions we cherish, and the love that holds us together.

This reunion is a wonderful opportunity to come together, share memories, laugh, and strengthen the ties that make our family so special. To help you prepare, here’s your 2026 SAHFR Checklist:

1. Review and if necessary update your contact information
2. Register for the reunion.
3. Book your hotel accommodations. (Coming soon)
4. Review the SAHFR-DMV Preliminary Itinerary.
5. Pay your dues.
6. Submit your updates for the Blabbermouth Diamond edition of the newsletter. We would like to have your news, even if you don’t plan to attend. This Diamond Blabbermouth edition will include as much information as we can gather about four generations (past, current, and future).

If you have any questions or need assistance with anything, please don’t hesitate to call Etta Waugh at 301-275-8951 or Kelly Smith III at 678-523-4687 or email us at SAHFamReunion@gmail.com.

Let’s create some lasting memories and make family connections in the DMV!

With love,
