"We have a strong and supportive sense of community among our customers,"
said Charles Brewer, MindSpring's founder and chief executive officer. "Our
Family Reunions are a great way for us to foster our community spirit and

faces with names."

Internet software suite and the technical support staff will give technical

The cover charge of $5 for adults over 12 includes beverages, light hors
d'oeuvres, and all events. MindSpring subscribers may register for the
event online in advance at

express entry into the Reunion. The Birmingham Museum of Art is located at
2000 Eighth Avenue North in Birmingham.
"We met our Alabama family in Montgomery last spring and had members show
up from all over the state," continued Brewer. "Our membership, like the
Internet itself, is made up of a wonderfully diverse group of people. It's
great fun to bring us all together for one evening."
