CANADIAN REUNIONS
HISTORY - Our Society's first formal activities
began with an annual family reunion, held at Courtland ON., Canada, in 1980. We could go
even farther back in history to Nov 11, 1973; when the Clarence Cook (50) family [led by
Walter Andrew Cook (183) and Maxine (Wingrove) Cook (184)] held the 1st annual COOK family
reunion at Courtland ON Canada - with an attendance of 52. This Annual Reunion continues
to be held annually (in 1998). We can even go farther back in time to 1906, when the first
known COOK Family Reunion was held at the home of Congressman Samuel A Cook (3817), in
Neenah WI USA. We can also refer to the work of Eileen & Johnny Houser (2438 &
2439) in the 1960, culminating with the 1967 Cook Reunion at Bingeman Park, Kitchener ON.;
and publishing of the work "The ANDREW COOK Genealogy" 1970 edition. However our
current lengthy and constant labours began in 1980.
TODAY 1998 - The Canadian COOK Family Reunions are held on the 2nd Saturday in July of each year at the Courtland Community Park, Courtland ON Canada. They usually start to gather about 10 a.m. - have pot-luck dinner at 12; with a bit of ceremony -- fun and games for all and family conversations, genealogy discussions and the like until about 5 p.m. and then fond farewells for another year. You can reach this spot by going to the village of Courtland and then traveling to the east edge of town on the No 3 Hwy. - you will find the park on the north side of the road.
