Sharon Powalka and Debbie Barbee, convenors of the 2012 reunion, announce that the next Sackett Family Association reunion is to be held at Westfield, Massachusetts, from 20 to 22 September 2012.

Westfield has a huge amount of Sackett history and is perhaps the most often found place name in our records. Sharon and Debbie met there recently and have checked out possible hotels and local events, as well as historical Sackett places.

The proposed dates are set to coincide with The Great New England Fair which runs from 17 to 29 September at nearby West Springfield.

As always, the best hotel rates will be had if we are able to make a block booking at an early date. It is important, therefore, to get indications of numbers planning to attend.

Please let Sharon or Debbie know your plans.
