Hello Family,

 Season Greetings!!  I hope that each family member is having a wonderful holiday and that you all have a great new year. 

This is the follow-up from our 2004 Family Reunion.  Attached is a copy of the Tucker Family Pledge that we made to each other at the reunion.  Also, above is  the Family Pledge Partner that you selected or that was pulled from the bag for you.  This is a wonderful time to reconnect with your Pledge Partner, find out how they are doing, and let them know that someone cares for them because they are members of our family.

 Names were pulled for those who did not make it to the reunion or were not present at the time of the name selection.  We have pictures of many who attended but we did not get pictures of everyone.  Please email your picture to me if you are one whose picture I do not have.

 Here’s wishing you only the very best.  The California Family Reunion Committee has announced the dates for the 2005 reunion -- it will be held in Oakland, California  August 3 - 7, 2005.  Please visit the family website. http://www.linkthefamily.com/                         

The Tucker Family Pledge

We pledge to bind ourselves again to one another

We pledge to embrace our lowliest as well as out best

We pledge to keep company with our loneliest regardless of age or statute

We pledge to educate and inform ourselves, our children, and the illiterate among us

We pledge to clothe, and feed our starving

We pledge to support those who are hurting

We pledge to do all good things, knowing that we are more than keepers of our children, brothers, and sisters

We are what our children, brothers, and sisters become

In honor of those who toiled and implored God with golden tongues, and in gratitude to the same God who brought us out of hopeless desolation to this point

We Make This Pledge!!!

Happy Holidays.  Lena
