Hello Nims family researchers!

Just thought I'd keep you updated on the latest NIMS NEWS announcements! The Nims Family Association Members newsletter, August 2006 announced the association's events scheduled for the 2006 NIMS FAMILY REUNION September 29 - 30, 2006. The events start on Friday Sept. 29th with social time starting at 5:30pm, complete with a speaker and the movie "Captive" which was filmed in Deerfield.

Saturday, Sept. 30th starts at White Church at 9:30, a slide show about the route the captives took after the raid. There will be presentations on Godfrey's grandson, David, along with the progress on the cataloging of the Nims files; there is also a discussion on the Canadian descendants of Abigail Nims. Clothing of the Hudson Bay company will also be worn by two of her descendants. A humorous talk will be given about taverns; walking tours, as well as lunch available for $6.00 at White Church.

Having attended several NFA Reunions in the past, it sounds like a lot of preparation has been done so all will have an experience to talk about when they return home! Stories about current descendants should be shared also!! Kudos to the Reunion event planners and to their enthusiastic President!

I've provided a link to the complete announcement by the NFA President, just click on the link found on the NIMS Message board, "Links & Announcements" it is the first link found on the popup page.
