WE'RE COMING TOGETHER!
Dixon-Patterson 2025 Family Reunion
Building Upon A Legacy of Greatness
IT'S HAPPENING!
July 11-13, 2025 in Columbia, South Carolina
HOW MUCH TIME WE HAVE TOGETHER
Welcome family!
The time has finally arrived for us to reflect, celebrate and build one another up.
The purpose of this reunion is to unite the family of Henry Dixon and Everlina Patterson Dixon. We are eager to know all of Henry Dixon/Everlina Patterson-Dixon’s brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, grands and great grands at this event.
As we commune with family near and far and love on old and new faces let’s remember that we are one with parts that specialize in its distinct way. We are different and the same. Let's move forward to make a difference in one another’s lives and the world.
God has orchestrated this event. Please be intentional with the time that has been given unto us to be together.
We are chosen. We are peculiar. We are royalty. We are one. We are family.
Love you all!

Family Reunion Committee Chairperson
