The founders of the Shamberger reunion, George L. Shamberger, Dora Shamberger Smith, and Ernest Shamberger met on a Sunday afternoon in 1957 after worship service at Old New Zion Church in Robbins, NC and discussed the possibility of having a family reunion. They took their idea to their uncles Onslow and George Mason, who agreed that it was a great idea.
The first meeting was held at William A. Shamberger's home. The first officers were Henry Shamberger, President; James Shamberger, Vice President, Julia Shamberger Brower, Secretary; Mamie Shamberger, Program Committee Chair, Johnny Shamberger, Food Committee Chair, and George O. Shamberger, Grounds Chair. They agreed that the first generation would be George C. and Lydia Shamberger and that they would recognize the oldest of the second generation at their first reunion. It was decided that the reunion would be held at the home place of Onslow and Betty Brower Shamberger, and would take place the first Sunday in July.
The first Shamberger reunion was held in 1957. There was a large turn out. Shamberger family members came from all around, as you can still see happening today. George Mason, Onslow, and Betty Shamberger were honored. In the following years the next oldest recognized were Leila Shamberger Caviness, Nannie Holland and Edra Shamberger.
In 1978, in order to find a better comfortable location, the family agreed to move the reunion to a new site, Davis Community Center, with Charlie Shamberger as President. Through the blessings of God, our family continued to multiply past the capacity of the Community Center. In 1995 the family agreed to have the reunion every two years and at a hotel in Greensboro, North Carolina, with Katrina Shamberger Brower as President.
We continue to honor the Shamberger forefathers, by pledging to continue preserving and passing on to other generations our Blessed Roots!
