Cleere Reunion
of
Comanche, Comanche Co. TX

What started out as a 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration in 1944 for Effie Lee McNeil & Washington Lee Cleere has continued as a family reunion.   For many years it was held in the park at Lake Eads, Comanche, TX. After the lake's dam broke, the park was closed.  

The last several years the Cleere Reunion has been held at the Comanche Community Center for Saturday's gathering and at either the nearby City Park or Virginia Archer's home for Sunday's gathering.  Many games of dominos and cards are played; family events are caught up; as well as just plain ol' visiting.

With the death of the youngest child, Robert C. Cleere, in June of 2000, all seven children of Effie Lee & Washington Lee Cleere (who reached adulthood) have passed on to a better world. It's now up to the grandchildren, great-grandchildren and their children to carry on the tradition of the Reunion.

To be held the 3rd Saturday, July 21, 2007 at the Comanche Community Center on Hwy. 377, SW of town & the following Sunday, July 22, 2007, at the home of Virginia Archer, Comanche, TX.
