HMC Family Association

Arnie Young’s family, William S. Cooper descendants, have brought a piñata for the kids each year since 2010 in recognition of Jasper and Elizabeth Matheny’s life on the plantation in Mexico. However, they will not be able to attend in 2016. We will look forward to seeing another of their especially beautiful pinatas at the Reunion in 2017.

The good, old-fashioned Country Store is back again this year!  Please bring donations of your preserves or fresh bounty from your garden, plants, or seeds; hand crafts, books, cd’s, dvd’s, or any old or new items you think will be of interest to other family members.  Don’t forget to label each donation with a suggested price.   The Country Store will be open all during the Reunion.  So, also bring your “egg money” to spend on treats and treasures as you meet and mingle with the family members who made the treats or know the story behind the treasures.
