The most recent gathering
The 2025 Virtual Reunion
On Saturday, July 19, 2025, the family filled the screen from 11:30 in the morning to well past 6 in the evening. Keretha and Melissa Cash opened with heartfelt welcomes, and the family honored Patriarch David Cash and Matriarch Rose Cash-Kittrell. First-time family members were recognized, Tony Kittrell hosted the games, and Rev. Spencer Jones brought the inspirational message. Dedicated sessions for children, teens and young adults carried the day before Rev. Rose Cash-Kittrell closed it in prayer.
The full program, with every facilitator, is preserved below and in the reunion archive.
