1999 REUNION AUGUSTA, GEORGIA The 1999 NALF reunion will be held in Augusta, GA, August 6 - 8. Accommodations wiil be at the Partridge Inn. The Partridge Inn is Augusta's Nationai Historic Inn and was built in the late 1890's by Morris Partridge, a native New Yorker and itinerant hotelier. It was originally opened as a small service seasonal Inn across the street f,om the Bon Air Hotel. The Inn catered to Augusta's booming winter tourist business. At the time, wealthier Northerners flocked to Augusta to escape the cold, play, and ride horseback. In 1923, the citizens of Augusta selected the Partridge Inn to host President Warren G. Harding at a banquet described as "the most brilliant in the history of the city." The Inn expanded five times. By 1929, the Inn had 129 rooms and a quarter of a mile of galleried porches and balconies. It was a family oriented place, with a reputation for excellent cuisine and a special kind of personal service. During the Depression and World War II the Inn was a lively social hub for Augustans and a variety of special social events, balls, and annual Augusta debutante parties. After the death of Morris Partridge in 1947 the Inn began to change. In the 1980's the Partridge Place Association restored it to its proper place as an Augusta landmark. The Partridge Inn was re-opened in 1988 and is endorsed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as a historic hotel. Today, thisAugusta treasure has 155 rooms, deluxe suites, executive rooms and studios. Oukr NALF members will experience the same kind of Southern Hospitality and old-fashioned service which Morris Partridge instilled in his staff almost a century ago. |

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY They sat together in the park, both staring at the ground. "My dad's an important businessman, that's why he's not in town." "My son is also busy, that's why he doesn't call." "It sometimest gets real quiet when he's not home at all." "I just want to talk to my dad, when I don't know what to do." The older man squeezed the boy's hand and said, "Me too!" Some people find themselves torn between career and the needs of family and friends. There is never enough time to spend with the ones who need our time. Quality time is not something that can be scheduled. It comes unexpectedly. It is saying the right word to an older man to encourage him in living for the Lord. It is passing on correct teaching aboKhristian living to the next generation. Unfortunately there is no set timing when the lessons of life are learned. Today ask yourself "Am I spending enough time with the people I have been given?" Make a difference in others' lives. |
