Kelly Reunion 2024

We hoped you enjoyed the The Kelly Family Reunion that was held on June 21, 22 and 23, 2024.

The Reunion Committee would like to extend our deepest thanks and appreciation to Brian, Lynne and their family members for graciously opening up their home and property to host 300 relatives for an entire weekend.

The 2024 Kelly Family Reunion was a glorious and memorable event, due to your cheerful kindness, diligent planning and infinite patience.

Brian likes to share the credit for the planning wth the Reunion Committee, but Brian is the quiet, calm and cheerful commander-in-chief, leading with humour and skill.  

Brian and Lynne never appeared stressed at the daunting challenge of organizing 113 campers in their backyard, setting up planned streets of tents with colour-coded solar lights, or feeding 300 people over three days.

As with every reunion, Brian and Lynne made this reunion experience even better and more enjoyable than before, with more and bigger tents (good call!), water trucks, fancier porta-potties, refrigerated trailer, well-organized recycling, great sound system, cool hats, family tree history, excellent food and many fun activities.

Brian and Lynne, you are amazing! We truly appreciate your giving all of us Kellys the wonderful opportunity to share a family weekend with each other.

The Reunion Committee would also like to thank all the volunteers who gave their time to the planning, organizing and helping at the event.  There were many volunteers who helped a great deal - particularly Ron and Mary DiFrancesco!

So until next time, we thank everyone for coming and look forward to the next Kelly Family Reunion!
