Past Reunions & Photos
The idea of an annual reunion of the descendants of George and Minnie Lee Ruffin was formulated in Ruth's living room on January 1, 1999. Dorothy, Ruth, Mary's daughter Jeanette, and Ruth's daughter Citas began a reunion discussion that culminated into the First Annual Ruffin Family Reunion in July of that year.
The reunions have been held each summer since then.
