BPL Family,

Hello, family! This letter is being written on behalf of BPL 2021 Indiana Reunion Committee and the BPL Reunion National Chair. We wanted to update you on our 2021 family reunion. The past year has been very challenging with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of us have and will continue to follow the Center for Disease Control’s guidelines (social distancing, wearing a mask, etc). However, we’ve had several family members that have had the virus. We are excited that vaccines have been approved and are available. However, health experts are projecting that it will be late summer or after before the percentage of the population receiving the vaccines will have a major impact on stopping the spread of the virus.

The BPL Leadership Team has decided to postpone the 2021 BPL Family Reunion until 2022. The Indiana Committee will remain the host for 2022. It was recommended that the 2022 Reunion be moved to the last week in July due to schools starting early. It is also recommended that the 2023 BPL Reunion be moved to 2024 and the Florida State Committee remain the host. There will be a review of the By-Laws at the 2022 Reunion Business meeting to vote on any future changes.

We are all disappointed that we will not meet this year but for the safety of all our family members, it is the best decision. We will keep you updated on activities and fees for the 2022 reunion by letter, email, BPL Facebook page, and BPL website. We want everyone to be included. In order for that to happen, we need current contact information. That information can be updated with June Lynch. It can also be updated with the Indiana Committee by email (BPLIndiana@gmail.com) or by calling/text Zalika Lumumba at (317)590-7908. Please share this request with any family member who did not receive this letter. Thank you for your support and understanding. Please stay safe!
