Smith Family Reunion

About

The Smith Family Reunion (also known as the Smith Family Gathering) is an annual Summer event in which all the descendants of the late Avery Smith plus "adopted Smiths" gather at a predetermined location for approximately 3 days of socializing, fun, and mutual entertainment.

"Adopted Smiths" can include stepchildren, spouses (even if now divorced from the "official Smith" by which they first entered the fold), and even Hypertwins with no legal relation to any "official Smith".
