Hello Family,

Let's plan our first Destee Family Reunion!

Meeting approximately a year from this time ... allowing us to make plans and preparations for this great event! Absolutely no plans have been made yet, only the seed planted in my mind, heart, soul and Spirit! So what do you think? When can we meet? What things should we consider?

Let's do this Family!

I'm so excited! :jumping:

Great idea...it has been expressed become, but never materialized. I think the location would be essential in such an event actually taking place.

How about a cruise?

Yes Brother Pan ... it has been discussed a few times before, maybe it's time now? i agree also, that the location is very important. With so many of us being spread out across this country (and world), it may be good to meet in an easily accessible city, or one that is centrally located.

Sister Karmashines ... this will be a "Family Reunion" so the Family will decide how we do it ... so you're cruise suggestion is as worthy of consideration as any others we get ... thank you Sister!

i was thinking that we'd probably want it to be as affordable as possible ... we want this reunion to include as many children, with their parents, as possible ... we've all shared so much about ourselves and Family, it would be really kewl to come together as a Family. What's a Family Reunion without children?!!!

We've never done this before, met as a group, so i'm not sure what all is involved ... i'd want us to be able to take advantage of all the opportunities such a gathering affords us ... fun, history, networking, etc. ... i was talking to one of our Members about this, and he suggested staying in a Black owned hotel, using as many Black owned businesses as possible! He said that he believed there was a Black owned hotel in Florida ... i guess there's only one in the country? We can look into this.

Do we need a travel agent to handle all the particulars, get us better rates if possible? i do have a Sister, who is in this business, i will ask about all of this. She travels all over the world, and is currently in South Africa. She takes a group there at least 2 times a year!

Could we go to Africa?!!!! :eeek:

This is a very expensive trip ... at least it would be expensive for me! i guess it depends on how many folk are going, all that kinda stuff, but the trip she's currently on in Africa, cost aproximately $4,000 per person.

Wow ... how kewl is that Family!!!

Africa ... !!!! :love:

Let's keep the discussion going ... we will all decide together!

I think this idea will have family turning out in large numbers because you know how black folk get when ever you say family reunion or cook out all they can think about is the free food and beverages lol.

free Brother GodsSoulja ???

very few things in life are free ... i don't think anyone is gonna be give'n us free food and drinks ... are they?

you gotta hook up Bruh ??? ... QQ

i'm so excited at the thought of our Family Reunion being in Africa!

gosh ... that gives new depth to the term ... Family Reunion!

is it do-able Family? ... let's talk! :)

The cost is going to be a big downside and drawback for many.

The cost is going to be a big downside and drawback for many.

i agree Sister ... though we don't know what our actual price would be yet, as i believe it depends on the number of folk, days spent, all that kinda stuff ... but even with that, we can anticipate spending a big chunk of money.

i guess it's some wishful thinking on my part ... if not this time ... maybe another time! :)

i do want the cost to be affordable for everyone.

i'm witcha Sista!

What u mean don't pick 'Bama... what's wrong wit 'Bama ??? :haha:

This idea sounds wonderful Sistah Destee. I would love to meet the famblee !!!! How about a family reunion near an amusement park like Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida ... hey we could go to nearby Eatonville, Florida - birthplace of Zora Neal Hurston during the annual Festival that is held in her honor every January. Eatonville it's self is the oldest incorporated black city in america and holds a wealth of historical significance.

Don't even think about Alabama!! I wouldn't mind Chicago, as most of my family lives there. I haven't seen the majority of them in years, so I could have 2 family reunions at the same time! If we consider PG county Maryland, then we might as well drive 20 more minutes up route 95 to DC! I still say NYC...the Big Apple...Harlem!

In the next few weeks, I will post what I find on Black owned hotels


http://www.poconosbest.com/hotelhillside2.htm

Hillside Inn Resort & Conference Center America's First African-American Owned Resort. Near Marshall's Creek, PA. Since 1954, Hillside Inn Resort & Conference Center has brought together generations of people longing for a homelike atmosphere in a country setting.

************
interesting read thought I share....

First black-owned resort hotel opening in Miami
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Developer R. Donahue Peebles' first foray into the hotel business was fraught with symbolism and great expectations well before the first shovel hit the dirt.

The former Washington resident, who built his business developing commercial office space, swooped into Miami Beach in 1996, bought a dilapidated Art Deco hotel and won a municipal bid to build another in an adjacent oceanfront lot.

The venture was at the center of a settlement between activists, city officials and lodging executives ending a three-year black tourism boycott of South Florida and cast Peebles as the nation's first African-American to develop and own a major convention resort hotel.

Hello Family !!!! :love:

Okay ... i think the first thing we must do is decide on a city. i've gone back through the posts and only 3 cities were suggested, if no mistake. They are:

New York, NY
PG County, Maryland
Mobile, AL

Once we have all the suggestions presented for cities, we'll vote on which one we're gonna meet in. After that, the festivities begin!!!!

If you have a city in mind, and want it to be put on the list for consideration (voting by Members), please add it to this thread!

Love Yall!

NYC would be mad cool. At least five of ya'll can crash at my uncle Bobby's house in Queens. We could have a shopping spree at the top of Jamaica ave or the Aquaduct. And my cousin Ebony knows where all the African American stuff is.

If we have it in PG County then we have to add the cost of bullet proof vests. Dontcha'll watch the six o'clock news? I have family in DC they won't even let me go outside by myself when I visit them.

Good Morning Family,

We're going to keep this moving, because we have lots of plans to make, and we want to get some concrete details available to the Family as soon as possible. With this in mind, i'm going to leave the suggestions for the city open for a week. I posted this thread on the 9th, so city suggestions end on the close of the 16th. This will give everyone a reasonable chance to read this and get their city of preference included on the official vote list.

Sister River ... you said Florida, but we need a city please.

Sister Trin ... it's my hope that we all have plenty of advance notice ... 'cause i want you there! :grouphug:

Okay ... right now ... these are the cities that will be voted on:

New York, NY
PG County, Maryland
Mobile, AL
Chicago, IL

If you have other city suggestions, please add them.

I'm excited already!

Thanks everyone for your interest! :love:

Sister River ... you said Florida, but we need a city please ... Destee


In terms of Florida, I suggest Orlando and/or the nearby historic "black" city of Eatonville - birthplace of Nora Zeal Hurston and the annual (January) festival in her honor : http://www.zoranealehurston.cc/

Atlanta would be nice too... :idea:

Destee
04-14-2005, 09:51 AM
Sister Akilah ... you're right ... i overlooked your Eatonville suggestion earlier. Sorry about that.

Sister CarrieMonet ... do you want Seattle to be voted on? We can add it Sister, just let me know if you want it on the list.

I do think each Member should be nominating one city though, not numerous ones.

So Sister Akilah ... i'm putting your suggestion down as Eatonville. Let's let another Member add Atlanta and Orlando if they want, okay?

Okay Family ... here's the updated list we'll be voting from at this point:

New York, NY
PG County, Maryland
Mobile, AL
Chicago, IL
Eatonville, FL

Family ... please add your city of preference before Sunday!

Much Love and Peace.

Since this will be a mini vacation for lots of folks, I am assuming that most would want to be in a warm and relaxing environment for an event such as this. Some of the northern cities suggested are still pretty chilly around this time of year and also tend to be expensive (hotels). I also saw some cities on this list that honestly I would only travel to if I was forced to visit family there. Please dont get me wrong, I am not saying these places are not wonderful places to live, but we are talking about people spending money for a vacation of sorts (please dont shoot me, just my honest opinion). We are also talking about children attending the gathering, so we should keep their entertainment in mind. I think that Orlando offers decent weather (for this time of year), variety, and economic flexibility for this type of gathering.

Thanks in advance for hearing the newbie out. :yo:

On a side note, I saw someone mention Universal Studios. They are currently having a sale on their tickets. A two-day ticket for $99(per person) AND get three additional free days. Also, the ticket does not expire, so you can purchase it now for any future use.

Hello Brother Rudebwoi ... :wave: ... thanks for making this city suggestion and sharing with us.

It doesn't matter that you're a newbie ... everyone is Family, no matter if you joined today or years ago! :)

So ... our suggested host city list has been updated:

New York, NY
PG County, Maryland
Mobile, AL
Chicago, IL
Eatonville, FL
Orlando, FL

C'mon Family ... we can't be hearing any complaints that your city wasn't counted ... after the fact!

Add the city of your choice to the possible locations for our First Annual Destee Family Reunion!

New York, NY
PG County, Maryland
Mobile, AL
Chicago, IL
Eatonville, FL
Orlando, FL

Sister Remby and Everyone ... i know this has been talked about before, but i've never initiated such an event, until now. So this is really my first time, and if God says the same, we will all be meeting, smiling, hugging, kissing, and enjoying each other's company and conversation in person! I'm so looking forward to this!

Yes Brother Pan, Sister Triniti is right, we'll begin considering the other things after we've decided on the city.

So Family ... if you have a city that you'd like to go on the list ... please post it.

Hello Sister Vincy ... Welcome Home ... :wave:

We're not voting yet Sister, we're just coming up with the cities that will be voted on.

We'll probably be voting in about a week or so.

You're welcome to add a city to the list, to be on the ballot. New York City is already on there.

Love You Sister!

It's because of places like Oakland we are here at Destee.com, trying to resolve our issues...:lol:

Believe me Sister triniti424, Negroes are showin' out bad, almost everywhere you go...not just in Oakland...lol

I haven’t read every post in this thread, but I think this is a good idea…the location should be relaxing and interesting. I think we should also have an open forum along with relaxing and other social activities. I think this should be a very constructive reunion…a building of stronger personal relationships and networks. We may also have some strong and progressive Black families come out of this and some little bouncing and crawling Africans…lol

But this is a necessary move…the Internet is a great tool for communication, but it is limited, impersonal and sterile.

PS_ Also, Sister NNQueen better sign up and show up or I’m tearing up my ticket…lololol

Peace,

Brother Sun Ship

Made me break down and fire up linux-mozilla just to see the banner. (I generally don't do flash, either.)

Which program is used to create shockwave flash (*.swf) "movies"? Does it not have an option for exporting to other formats?

But, again; that is a very pretty, very neat banner! If that is the caliber of your work, I'd opine that you go ahead and get busy with those other things you mentioned making. (can't think of them off the top of my head; you mentioned them earlier in the thread.)

:lol:Leave it to an African to ask the ten thousand dollar question. How does one create Shockwave Flash movies? I guess I can put the procedure in a nut shell so you can get the gist of it. It's an easy complication.

You take pictures and sounds and text and put them on a timeline that consists of frames like the frames in a movie. The timeline is calibrated with numbers that represent the progression of the frames. You specify at which frame each picture or sound or text block will appear on the timeline and what it will do (fade in, slide out, vortex, typewriter, explode etc).

You can use animated gifs in a movie. The difference is with gifs you have have a different picture for each frame but with flash the movements are pre-defined and executed in a default number of frames.

You test the movie in your browser to make sure it is doing what you want it to do then you save it. But you also have to export it to an .html file. When you do this the actual .swf file is created along with the code that you put on your webpage to make the movie show up on the screen where you want it.

I use a program called Seish which is an expensive ($40) clone of Macromedia's original software (can't remember how many hundreds of dollars it costs). You can download Swish from zdnet.com.

You can export the movie to avi but I don't know anythng about that because I go by a need to know policy. Do you need to know how to crete shockwave Flash movies? I wouldn't be surprised if you get on here tomorrow with some masterpiece of your own.

Do you need to know how to crete shockwave Flash movies? I wouldn't be surprised if you get on here tomorrow with some masterpiece of your own.No, won't be coming up with ... Well, there is something I've had in my head for the longest: "Wayn Bablin On/Babylon Wanin" with the appropriate letters "bongo feeting" back and forth. <grin>

Actually, I would just like to have this very pretty, very neat banner in a format that I can play just to look at and think/dream about. (Don't think I'll be there, though, as I don't do money so won't be able to afford it. Also don't think I'm gonna subject myself to the hassles that flying has turned into ... unless it's a one-way flight out of this country ...)

(I guess my new found "luddite" attitude toward all the bells-and-whistles stems from back in the day when these puters weren't as powerful as they are now. (I just wish all that power were at the disposal of the end-user rather than getting used up by the bloatedness of the latter day software.) Also, I just don't like to throw away stuff that is still usable ... which it all would be except for the latter day bloatedness. Plus, there are still a lot of "hand me down" puters that are being foisted off on some "third world" nations. (How come none of those are white? How come all of them look like me?) As they say "Recycle, Reuse and Reduce!", ya know?)

It seemed like a plan but Pan said he can't do it in October and having a reunion without Brotha Pan is like having potato salad without potatoes. We can still go to the march but let's just not call it a Destee Family Reunion.

I've been thinking about this, and I believe Destee is the potatoes. I'd be more like the Mayo or the Egg Yolk!

I don't know if it will work in our signatures. We can experiment. But first Destee has to approve it and upload the movie itself to her server. Then we can put the code in our signatures and see if it flies.

New York has plenty of bargains if you know where to go. As far as hotels go, never stay in the City, you'll be paying $800 a night, and have rats! However if you book a hotel in New Jersey (Secaucus) you gave get a room for around $200, and a free shuttel to NYC (10-15 minutes tops)! Also greyhound is a heck of a lot more expensive than $25 dollars. The train is expensive too. Flying is one of the cheapest modes of transportation if you order your tickets early enough.

Actually, I thought from the very second that I joined this site that a Family Reunion would be key to keeping us together. I know for one thing, that those members who do not get on Destee much, will become more active on the site, and everything else.

I know finances will be hard, but at least the seed has been planted; we just need it to grow!

I will just let everyone know that I, personally, am 199% for a family reunion, except, I don't think I will be going back home! LOL!

What I do know is that I will be bringing my pens, notebooks, tablets, dictionaries, a whole lot of stuff. Then again, it will take time, so I will clam down and pray for it to come soon.

Famblee reunion?!?
Not widdout me...
:hi:
Lots of wonderful ideas here for hot spots. If I may, I'd like to add in my suggestion. The annual Caribana festival in Canada (Toronto, Ontario). Not a high expense for this one, and hotel accomodations can be made in Detroit or other surrounding U.S. cities.

For those not familiar with Caribana (~ symbol bove the n):
"After the Civil War era, most of Canada's black population came from the former British colonies in the West Indies. The black residents of the country's largest city celebrate their ethnic origins each August with a festival called Caribana. It features parades, entertainment, reggae and steel band concerts, and Caribbean style cooking. Most activities are held on Toronto Islands Park. The area is accessible by frequent ferryboat service from the docks at the foot of Bay Street downtown."

I also like the national state park idea and the cruise idea. Someone recently raved to me about their visit to the Grand Canyon. I think it is very important that we select someplace that will be memorable not only because of our getting to meet and greet in person, but because of the setting as well. Alkebu-lan would be the ultimate, but I really don't know if I can swing that one this year or next, and I do think we should start kind of small.

Long as I'm invited, it's all good.

Well, I'm kinda late with my location suggestion. I suggest it be more inland(Mid-west) but in a warmer state. There are a few people from the West Coast. Too bad i'm in school, in April, but out in late May. Summer would be the perfect time, since children are out of school and weather is nice enough for a recreational park. i certainly plan on making it there, and getting acquainted with the family. How long will the retreat be? A few days?

Gather all the information that has been suggested and use that
Nominate some people atleast equal two males two females
Start a thread for this committee to vote on the heads of this
They plan it all out-set it out and if people choose to come they come

how about an affordable resort stay.. that way we can bungalow up.. (no freeky deeky yall)
also it would provide us with time and space to interact with eachother in a relaxed invorrment.... and food.. man.. we can have a layout in each joint.. The resort area must have some cultural things to do as well.. anyone in for volunteering? Maybe with a local.... something or another..
I think we need to implement all this stuff weve been ssaying fior years into this trip..
i say a 5 night stay would do..

imma get to gether a list of possible places... all input is welcome!

But to raise money... id suggest that we get some folk together and design a t-shirt.. not just for us.. but for others as well.. with the destee.com address on it. Im thinking memorible quotes by blk folk.. with an enpowering design...and/or pictures.. this money raise would be used to offset fees... such as van rentals.. and an at least one dinner. the more the merrier......

Of the estimated 35,000 cowboys that worked the ranches and rode the trails, between five and nine thousand or more was said to have been Black. They participated in almost all of the drives northward, and was assigned to every job except that of trail boss. One historian noted that there had been a few cattle drives where the entire crews were black except for the trail boss.

Why Chicago


With its sizzling jazz and blues, substantial middle class, and political clout, Chicago's black community rivaled Harlem's in the 1920s and 30s. Drawn by the city's meatpacking houses, railway companies, and steel mills, the black population in Chicago skyrocketed from 44,000 in 1910 to 235,000 in 1930. In 1928 the first black congressman since Reconstruction, Republican Oscar De Priest, was elected. In the 1930s the Democratic party machine took control, diminishing black political strength. The city remained segregated. In 1966 Martin Luther King, Jr., began the Chicago Freedom Movement to push for integrated housing, while Jesse Jackson launched Operation Breadbasket to increase black employment. Serious riots rocked Chicago in 1966 and 1968, following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hey brotha Tantrum,

Let's start thinking about exactly how we will narrow it down. I had suggested a series of polls with a link to the polls in all the forums so everyone can vote. Then we can take the winners from each poll and put them together like finalists till we get down to the one we want.

Maybe you can think of another way you'd like to do it. Brotha Pan has officially recruited us so I want to hear every idea you have about how to do this so we can put our heads together and see what works best.

if i remember correctly, Oklahoma was originally intended for freed Africans and "Native Americans".

<shrug> not being programmed into the "money is all" crap; i would find it very difficult to get to most any place. particularly if flying is required; ain't doing no airports!!

(i must be at the low graphics site again ... nslookup can't seem to find destee.com or destee.org! had to get here by way of IP address. even still, can't get to places around here that look for destee.com ... just flat weird. but i guess i don't really mind any more.

ain't my name server's fault; it does get an answer from destee.com and destee.org name servers - both indicating "issues" with reverse lookup ... but i guess, after over 25 years of messing around with this stuff, i don't know what i'm talking about ...)

Akilah, I second your nomination of Atlanta. Afrika would be an absolutely wonderful place for the gathering but the price is really steep and we have to chose someplace that people can afford to get to. There are a couple of reasons I think that Atlanta is a good choice.
1.) Since so many of us have roots in the South. going downsouth would be a cheaper way to get close to our North AmeriKKKan roots.
2.) Atlanta holds lots of historically significant for us. And there are some really good historically important places to visit. The King Center etc.
3.)Atlanta is a big enough city where everyone can do things that fit their tastes. If you want to eat at an expensive restaurant, you can. If you want to eat with me at Mickey D's cause you broke too, lets go get some apple pies(2 for $1).
4.)Atlanta is well known as a place where many upper middle class Blacks live. I expect that there would be a strong cultural environment set up for them to enjoy. We could take in some of that.
5.)I'm sure they got some good clubs so I could go out at night get my mack on.

I think that a big hurdle for many of us will be finances. For those of us who can easily afford to go most places, there's no problem. But I would hope that this event would try to accomodate as many people as possible. So cost is a major issue. I actually thought that there might be some of us who can afford to get there, but maybe need some help for food and lodging. I thought to myself, If I could find rooms for say $50 - $70 per night, I could get two of those. If both rooms could accomodate three adults, me , and 5 other people could have a place to stay for the weekend. I could even afford to feed all 6 of us at Mickey D's all weekend(or we could go to the rib joint, git us some perch dinners wit fries, and a little tiny cup a slaw, and mild sauce, and a grape pop). So for 5 people, if you can just get there, your room and food is taken care of. We might need to have all the people who can sponsor a room, or who can let two other people stay in their room, put their names on a list. And people who can get there, but need a place to stay, can put their names on another list. Nita don't work. She can keep the lists. Just keep it anonymous.

Now you have to think, there's more to traveling than just a room and food. Who pays for the tickets at the MLK Center, what about cab and bus fare. Who gon buy all the food for the picnic?? What about drinks at the club??? (yeah I'm gon be at da club drankin)

It's not as easy as it sounds. I know some people won't think it's wise to go out of town depending on someone you don't even know for food. It could go really bad if someone who was sponsoring didn't come through. But it's just something to think about. I just was trying to figure out a way to get as many of us there as possible.


I checked air, bus and hotel rates. I used the dates June 23, 2006 (Friday) through June 25, 2006(Sunday). From NY you can take a Greyhound bus to ATL for $189.00 round trip. But if you purchase 7 days in advance you pay $159.00. From Chicago it's $174.00. There are hotels with rates in the $59 - $79 a night range. They are decent. It can be done on the cheap.

So thats my bright idea. It has holes but I was kind of thinking outloud.

(just kidding Nita, you know i'm crazy)

NOW... as I was re-reading the threads many people were for more than one or two even three places. There are a number of issues that need to be addressed.

1. Are there anymore suggestions for locations? If so... when would there be a submittal deadline?

2. Once the lists are final, everyone who DID reply OR voted "yes" to the reunion should choose TWO locations on the list as their "top two" so as to narrow the list down.

3. Who is in charge of maintaining all this?

Exactly what is the status of the Family Reunion? If there is going to be a Family Reunion then I can be counted upon in being in attendance. I'm not so much as interested in the location of the Family Reunion as I am in how much participation it is will garner.

I've been to several Family Reunions (or offlines as they are commonly referred as), and my experiences have shown me that the vast majority of individuals will give lip service in support of one but in reality very few will actually attend. This Family Reunion discussion has been kick around to the point of ad nauseam. Now is the time for action and less talk. At this point we should be discussing:

1. Who is going to be on the planning committee.

2. The committee should select the location.

3. The hotel accommodations and prices presented to the participates along with a list of events and activities that will be scheduled.

Depending on the group size and time of year, discounts on lodging and meals can be negotiated at a reasonable price. A couple of years ago I helped sponsor one in Virginia Beach. We had a fairly large group which consisted of a little of a hundred people. The beachfront hotel we were staying in gave us a 35% discount on rooms we had blocked off, free breakfast, meal discounts and a large conference room. The deal we negotiated was what I deemed to be reasonable but I also realize that what is considered reasonable can be highly subjective. However, with that said, confident prices can be held to the point that they can be affordable to the ones who are truly interested in attending.

If we are going to do this dayum thang then lets do it! If not ... then this discussion needs to cease.

Repeated posting of a poll serves no purpose whatsoever unless one is trying to pad their post numbers. I suggest that someone assume the helm and provide the needed leadership to kick this off. This Family reunion talk has been going on for nearly a year ... I think that is long enough.
