The 126 attendees plus the children attending the 2007 reunion had a wonderful time. Twenty states were represented. While wemissed seeing Queen Elimbethand the Royal Family (they came aweek earlier than originally planned) and missed attending the 50th Pilgrimage to St. Luke’s Church (which was held aweek later near Smithfield, VA), other events at the reunion and at the Heritage Weekend at Jamestown’s 400 Anniversary commemoration kept everyone very busy. Both the luncheon on Friday and the banquet on Saturday were excellent and delicious, albeit expensive. The dinner on Saturday was served in separate courses by wait staffin Colonial costume. It started with asoup course featuring peanut soup. This was followed by aseries of courses including salad, fish, redmeat, and dessert, each course beingserved separately fromthe preceding course. After dinner the Fulgham-Fulghum Family National Association held its annual business meeting in the Banquet Hall of the Woodlands Conference Center in Colonial Williamsburg. One of the items was the acknowledgment of the twenty years of dedicated service Peggy FulghumWood has provided the Association as Secretary-Treasmer by 0. Thomas Fulghumof Augusta, GA followed by the presentation of aplaque commemorating her service. Committee reports and other business matters, having been discussed and voted uponat the Saturday morning meeting of the Executive Committees and Boards of Directors of boththe Association and the Foundation, were presented at the business meeting. Events at Jamestown commemorating the 400"I anniversary of the first permanent, settlement by Englishmen in North America, thereby beginning in 1607 what was to become our Nation, were attended by most of the Reunion Attendees. There were too many events going on for one to attend them all aswell asvisiting the archeological sites, museums and other displays at Jamestown Island and the Jamestown Settlement re-creation of “Jamestowne Cittie.” One important event that involved the Fulgham-Fulghum Family National Association was our status as one of the “Official Communities” of the Jamestown 2007 Commemoration. On Saturday afiemoon on Jamestown Islandour family was represented at aceremony by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities by CarolynA. Fulghumof Greenville,NC. The ceremony recognized Official Communities and groups. There were many speeches and recognition of various other groups there includingthe present day family of the first African American family in Virginia and newly recognized American Indian tribes from the region. All of the attendees and the Association send our thoughts of deepest gratitude to President BettyWiggins for all of her work in organizing the 2007 Reunion. Without her work and connections in Colonial Williamsburg and to regional politicians,the FFFNA planning committee would not have been able to achieve the level of success that was achieved in organizing and conducting this eventful reunion. It was too bad that Betty’s involvement with security for the Jamestown 2007 events kept her sobusy during the reunion, causing her to beunable to attend many reunion events. We missed her but are grateful for her efforts for the Reunion as well for the secure setting for the Jamestown 2007 events. Well done, Ms.President ! .

  • 1 May/June 2006 VNLA Newsletter Bonnie Appleton Red, White
    May/June 2006 VNLA Newsletter Bonnie Appleton Red, white, and blue popping up all over Virginia Gardens featuring plants and containers with red, white, and blue features are beginning to show up across Virginia. These gardens are part of a state-wide effort to unite anyone, be they a first time gardener or a retail or wholesale nursery, with Virginia Tech and Virginia Cooperative Extension’s America’s Anniversary Garden project for the Jamestown 2007 commemoration. Though Governor Tim Kaine helped kicked-off this project by assisting with planting the first official AAG in Jamestown in January, his wife, Ann Holton, has continued the first family’s involvement. Ms. Holton attended the state’s official Arbor Day tree planting on April 28 where a Cherokee Princess dogwood, donated by Lancaster Farms, was planted on the grounds of the governor’s mansion. The dogwood was selected in part because it is one of the major native trees being recommended for use in AAGs (white flowers, red fall color and fruit), because it is the state tree and flower, and because it is the flower depicted by the white flower sails of the AAG logo. VNLA hopes to plant a fringe tree (white flowers, blue fruit) at next year’s Arbor Day ceremony to continue establishing native AAG trees at the mansion. Another major AAG event occurred on May 10 when the first official “all natives” AAG was planted at York River State Park in Williamsburg (Croaker exit off I-64). Designed by Denise Greene, Sassafras Farm, the garden includes a beautiful specimen fringe tree, several native shrubs (arrowwood, highbush blueberry, aronia, and Virginia sweetspire), native vines (coral honeysuckle, passionvine, virgin’s bower, and American wisteria), and a wonderful assortment of native perennials and wildflowers (calico and smooth asters, hyssop skullcap, sundial lupine, wild quinine, whorled milkweed, cardinal flower, rose mallow, blue vervain, 1 blue-eyed grass, blue flag iris, wild stonecrop, wild blue phlox, goat’s beard, and columbine).

  • 1 Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission Virginia Historical
    Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission Virginia Historical Society November 28, 2007 PARTNERSHIPS AND STATEWIDE INITIATIVES • In 1996, the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation (JYF) was appointed the state agency to coordinate Virginia’s role in Jamestown’s 400th anniversary commemoration. • In response to this legislative directive, the JYF Board of Trustees appointed the Jamestown 2007 Steerin planning for the commemoration. The steering committee is chaired by Stuart W. Connock. • 30-member steering committee comprised of 1. representatives of state and local government (Governor’s Cabinet) 2. leaders in education 3. community leaders 4. cultural leaders (APVA-Preservation Virginia, NPS) 5. As planning progressed, new members were added and the Steering Committee grew to over 40 people • From the beginning of the 10-year planning period, a major emphasis has been the involvement of the citizens of Virginia in the commemoration planning. Several strategies were used: • In 1998-99, 20 half-day roundtables involving over 1,000 Virginians were held around the Commonwealth and generated more than 500 suggestions for commemorative programs, activities and projects; • Three subcommittees—Programs and Events, Marketing and Communications, Logistics—were created involving 90 Virginians to review and revise the citizens proposals and carry out the Steering Committee’s work plan tasks; • As work progressed, more then eleven working groups were created to support specific areas of planning: 1. Historic Triangle 2. Joint Technology 3. Statewide/Regional Facilities 4. Logistics Transportation 5. Operations 6. Community Based Programs 7. The Virginia Cultural Network 8. International & Commemorative Activities 9. Organizational Partnerships 10. Educational Outreach Curricula & Products 11. Interpretive Research 12. Heritage Groups 1 • Several of these subcommittees and working groups remained active throughout the commemoration.
