Anson Bowen Call

Family Organization

 
NOTES

Hello Family-

Please join us at this year's Anson Bowen Call Family Reunion on Thursday, March 31st, 2011.
Check-in will start at 6:00 pm with dinner to follow and the program beginning at 7:15 pm.

Those of you who have attended in the past already know Anson Bowen Call to have been a remarkable man whose influence in shaping our families has been great. Many of his children have absolutely enriched these meetings with personal experiences of their own with all the wonderful memories that have been shared. However, as time passes, there are fewer and fewer of these amazing people to bless our lives.

We are the ever living legacy of our grandfather Anson Bowen Call. We are the legacy of those four incredible women who loved him, who bore him children, who made sacrifices and suffered hardships—the women who celebrated all the blessings of love & life that abundance and family had to offer. We represent them. Ask yourself, how well do you know them? We have to know and understand them before we can completely know and understand ourselves.

The Anson Bowen Call, III family will be in charge of the annual reunion for the next few years and we would like to ‘shake things up’ a bit. We need the vitality, vigor, creativity, new ideas and especially the technology of the younger generations. We feel that so often we have attended the reunions and learned some incredible information and gained valuable resources, but have walked away without really getting to know anyone in particular from the other families. This is precisely what we would like to change and this is why we need all of you there.

At this year's reunion we will spend some time getting to know one another--personally. This year we are offering a nursery so you can come and bring your children. We need your participation and your help to make this a success. Please try to arrange matters so you can spend one evening this year in attendance at this important reunion.

A Facebook page has been created for the Anson Bowen Call Family Organization. Please visit and become a fan of the page so we can share updates, information, pictures and get to know our ancestors and each other better. If you already have a Facebook account, simply search for the page by name (Anson Bowen Call Family).  If you do no have a Facebook account you can join for free by going to http://facebook.com and creating a new account. 

The food will be catered by a local SLC restaurant called Rico's, which offers fresh, authentic, hand-made Mexican food. The owner/chef of Rico's, Jorge Fierro, is from the Colonia Dublan area and is very excited to cater our event. If you would like more information about Rico's or Jorge, please visit their website: http://ricobrands.com 

This year the reunion will be held in a new location in Salt Lake City. Click here to view a map and directions to the church house. And click here to view the Dues, Donations and Registration form.  Please complete this form and return by March 14, 2011. 

Please come and be a part of the remarkable heritage that we all share together. Henry B. Eyring has said, "… history is recorded in words and numbers, but heritage is passed heart to heart."  Please come and share with us ‘heart to heart’.
