Hello Family! I want to clarify the hotel reservation options for the upcoming reunion July 19-22 2018. July 22 is a Sunday and most will be checking out that day.
Option 1: Call the hotel registration number (The Doubletree by Hilton Washington DC/Crystal city) @ 1-800-222-8733. You MUST reference the Lesesne/LeSane reunion to get the negotiated rate. If you call the hotel directly they will forward your call to the 800 number.
Option 2: Register online. Use the following link: https://aws.passkey.com/gt/215161956?gtid=6d97b6692cd82f01be277add0a853a2d
This link will take you directly to the Lesesne/LeSane page of the hotel to register for your hotel room. You can use either option to register for your room.
If there are ANY hotel related questions or issues please contact my lovely wife, Raynell McCray @ 240-338-3532 or email at raynellmccray007@gmail.com
Peace and Blessings,
Keith

Hey Family,
That time is coming. A year has already passed and this time next year we will be preparing to be in Washington D.C. Don't meet me there, beat me there. The date has been set, so please mark your calendars for July 19-22nd, 2018. We have lost 3 major regular participants and they will no longer be able to attend these reunions. But I am sure they are looking down from above to see what is happening. Please carry their legacy and honor by attending. Come and meet some family and build new and meaningful relationships.

Frankly, Is the Lesesne/Lesane Legacy in Jeopardy?
Hello Again Family & Friends--
The last time Pittsburgh held a reunion was 1984. We are really getting geared up for your visit in July. And we are so thrilled to hear so many exciting comments and helpful reflections. However, the Coordinators recently had our Kinfolk Representatives "phone conference" meet and discovered something interesting. A lot of the Kinfolk chapters (we include ourselves in this) simply are not meeting regularly enough. Yes, we're all super busy, in a super busy world, and perhaps, if there is not a reunion happening in your town, you simply don't think it's important. But nothing could be further from the truth!
The reason the first reunion was held in
Through the Coordinator's conversation, we discovered keeping our family reunions relevant means involvement and inclusion throughout the year; not just during reunion times. We also realized, the willingness of the elders to

first time the reunion has been in the "steel city" in 35 years and we
are honored to be hosting this prestigious event, Many of you have let
us know excited you are to see the event return to the city in which it

rivers, close to downtown and numerous locations for which Pittsburgh
is famous including : The Incline, PNC park, The Senator John Heinz
History Museum, The Children's Museum, the Carnegie Science Center and
the Warhol Museum. And in addition to the special bus tour we are
planning, you can also enjoy city views and news via the "Ducky" tour, a
vehicle than travel both on land and water.
You'll
