Just an update ! At our family reunion we had approximately 100 people there spanning five generations. We are a blessed lot! Thank you all for coming and I hope you all had a wonderful time.

The Sowders Summer Family Reunion will be held at The Cove at Concord Park on Saturday June 6, 2009 from 4 to 9 PM. The decendants of E and Bessie (Cornelius) Sowders are invited to share in this annual family reunion. The cost of the meal is $5.00 for age seven and up and $3.00 for six years old and younger. The meal promises to be yummy and hopefully we can get Tony to bake some great Buttermilk Pies and Cheryl and Gary to bake the Pecan Buttermilk Pie they've experimented with this Christmas!
