Our Family Reunion has
grown to the point where we
need to add money to our
Treasury Account. The pur-
pose of having a account is to
cover any and all expenses
associated with financing the
LOWE – BOWDEN Family
Reunion . Our goal is to en-
sure that each family member
is properly and appropriately
honored during the passing of
love ones and to ensure your
Annual Family Reunion is a
success each year. Yes, we
do have cost associated with
preparing for the reunion by
printing programs, mailing
letters, and general operating
business actions. This also
includes sending a card to the
family of a deceased love
one.
Therefore, I am asking each
family at this time to donate
$5.00 to build up our Treas-
ury Account. This is not $5.00
per person, but $5.00 from
each family. You may donate
more if you so desire, but for
now just $5.00 per family.
Please send all donations to
Doris Bouyer at 403 Works
Farm Road, Warsaw NC 28398.
I will ask the Treasury Ac-
count officials to provide a
financial report bi-annually of
our balance which will be for-
warded to all of you.
Thank you,
President Donald Wooten

this important task, Roddell and
his wife, Barbara, shared their
feelings with us on our recent
visit with them. We asked Bar-
bara how she feels about this
deployment. Her Response was,
“I feel like he will be okay and
he will take care of his soldiers
over there, but more impor-
tantly take care of himself.” We
asked Roddell
what was on his mind. He re-
sponded, “I am concerned
about my family and taking care
of my guys over there.” Levie
Lowe, Donald Wooten, Doctor
James Lowe, Joseph Lowe and
Melvin Lowe had the honor
and privilege of sharing a meal
with Roddell at a local restau-
rant in Fayetteville, NC called
“Tripps”.
It is important that the family
know Clabon Roddell Lowe
will be deployed to Afghani-
stan, around Thanksgiving. Be-
cause of his strong upbringing
and leadership skills instilled in
him by Clabon and Elizabeth
Lowe, we are very sure that
God’s hands will lead and bring
him back to us. During his
preparation for
Military deployment to Afghanistan - Clabon Roddell Lowe “I feel like he
will be okay and
he will take care
of his soldiers
over there, but
more
importantly take
care of himself.”

Hi Family members and happy
holidays to all of you. From my
corner to begin with I'm happy

healed well. They also cele-
brated their wedding anniver-
