2022 Fuller Family Reunion

Fuller Family Reunion 2022!

Dear members of the Fuller Family!
This is the Central Headquarters for our 2022 Family Reunion in Washington, D.C.
Some important information:

2022 Fuller Family Reunion POSTPONED

Thanks to everyone who provided input. Based on the feedback received, I’ve decided to postpone this year’s reunion for the following reasons:
  1. Several expressed continuing concerning about Covid safety.
  2. Uncertainty of what Washington, DC Covid protocols will be this summer for people who are not vaccinated. We want everyone to have a shared experience and not be excluded from certain group activities.
  3. Several shared that they are experiencing economic hardship.
I can already tell that these factors are affecting turnout. The pricing for the reunion is based on a certain number of people attending. With fewer people attending, the cost per person would actually go up to pay for things like the bus tour, hotel catering for the nice dinner we have, etc.
Thanks for your patience, and I’ll check back in Fall 2022.

Where

Washington, D.C.

What you need to do!

  1. Arrange your transportation to D.C.
  2. Book your hotel reservation.
  3. Pay your registration fee.
  4. Fill out this registration form (it will help us with logistics).

Transportation

Nearby Airports: I strongly encourage you to fly to Reagan National Airport. It’s very close to the hotel. Other options are Dulles International Airport and Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
Nearby Bus and Train Station: Union Station, Washington, D.C.
Rental Car: You really don’t need to rent a car during the reunion. Parking isn’t that great in the city, especially at the attractions we’ll visit. We’ll be using bus shuttles and convenient public transportation, so it will be much less than renting a car. Another option is using a shared ride mobile phone application like Lyft or Uber, given the daily parking fee at the hotel.
