One Parkway East, Greenville, SC, 29615, US

The torch is being passed —and the next generation is stepping up.

For more than 40 years, our beloved cousin and matriarch Patricia, along with other dedicated family members, have faithfully planned our reunions and encouraged the Green's Family youth to one day take

the lead. That time has come!

The 2026 Green's Family Reunion will be one you truly don't want to miss. We are returning to where it all started- Greenville, South Carolina.

This place holds deep meaning for us. It's where I, John McArthur, first touched the drums-guided by my Great-Grandfather, and where my Auntie Diane Austin placed drumsticks in my hands as we sang "Come By Here Lord."

This reunion is especially meaningful as we gather in love and remembrance following the passing of our Grandmother, Annie Bell Jones, on March 10th—my birthday. Honoring her legacy is exactly what she asked of us, and we will do so with intention, unity, and joy.

Your 2026 Reunion Hosts are:

John McArthur (Son of Mary McArthur)

Shawny Washington (Son of Leroy Washington)

Tony Smith (Son of Angie Atkins)

Though we each reside in three different states, we are working together as one team to bring our family together

for a weekend you will never forget.

Our goal is to welcome 30+ family members who haven't attended in years — and we know you're out there!

Please help us by sharing this information and spreading the word so we can reconnect, rebuild, and celebrate our legacy together.

With love and gratitude,

John McArthur, Shawny Washington & Tony Smith

Proud Grandchildren of Annie Bell Jones
