The West Virginia Department of Commerce is offering free reunion kits for people coming home to the Mountain State in 2012. Officials said the kits are perfect for reunion planners, they provide postcards, state highway maps, travel guides and Genuine West Virginia goodie bags.
"Summer reunions present West Virginians with an exceptional opportunity to catch up with friends, family and colleagues," said Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin (D-W.Va). "They reveal how passionately West Virginians embrace our rich heritage and diverse culture. Reunions are the perfect occasion to highlight all that makes the Mountain State great! Whether it's our natural beauty, safe communities, diversified economy or low cost of living, visitors will find West Virginia is a great place to visit and the perfect place to call home."
In 2011, the Department of Commerce sponsored almost 800 reunions and provided more than 64,000 kits. This year, the kits will include a Genuine West Virginia t-shirt and three Come Home to West Virginia hats to offer as reunion door prizes.
A starter reunion kit also contains:
25 plastic convention bags with the Genuine West Virginia logo 25 Regional business guides 25 WV highway maps 25 state park bookmarks 25 special editions of Wonderful WV magazine 50 assorted scenic postcards of WV 15 state park brochures 15 business climate pieces 15 state travel guides
Regional tourism information is added to the kits when they are picked up at the local participating Convention and Visitors' Bureau welcome center. Additional kits, t-shirts and hats can also be ordered online and picked up at the center.
Event coordinators may request reunion kits by visiting www.genuinewv.com or calling 304.957.9332 or 304.957.9363.
