DJS Family Reunion
Join us for the 2026 Dorsey Johnson Snowden (DJS) Family Reunion!
July 24-26, 2026 | Atlantic City, NJ
Hello, family!
We are excited to announce that the 2026 DJS Family Reunion will be held on July 24 - July 26th in Atlantic City, NJ at The Historic Claridge Hotel located at 123 S. Indiana Ave, Atlantic City, NJ 08401.
Our weekend includes a Friday Meet & Greet, Saturday Banquet and we will close out our reunion weekend with a Sunday Family Meeting where we will ask members to give suggestions for future fundraising, location options and recruiting new committee members. See weekend itinerary
Since our last reunion was over 10 years ago, we have worked hard to plan a weekend with all ages in mind where we can come together and celebrate our elders as well as introduce our newer members to the family. We look forward to providing a time to remember and passing on the information and traditions for more reunions in the future.

*2026 theme*
"Generations of the heavens and of the earth" (Genesis 2:4)
The story of creation is ours. A gift outlined in the book of Genesis. “Generations of the heavens and of the earth” describes the creation of the first humans as well as the origins and family lineage that would flourish for years to come.
Our primary goals in re-establishing the DJS reunion in 2026 are to revive interest, reimagine what these events can be, and rebirth the idea of collective family fellowship on a regular basis.
Our parents and grandparents envisioned this tradition over 40 years ago.
