On this page we are posting an account of the income and expenses of our annual reunion. This way we'll all know what it costs to have the reunion every year.
____________________________________________________
This year Bernie gave the balance of the old reunion bank account to be added to the current reunion PayPal account:
Old Reunion Acct $2033.15
Cash back on PayPal card $8.36
10/11/2015 PayPal Balance $5817.65
We decided to keep it brief - with just the totals for the major purchases, but if you need to see the PayPal Statements showing each purchase and deposit we will gladly send them out to you - just email us.
2014
Here's what we have as of 4/30/14 for this years reunion:
This year we were able to get $1000.00 from the family savings account up front to start the PayPal account - Thank you to Glendine & Linda for helping us with that. Without this account that $516 would have come out of our pocket until after the reunion. Hopefully this will also help folks to understand why the organizers like registration to be paid early.

A special thanks this year to Larry & Denise McKinney for organizing the reunion and smoking all of the meat this year. It was a wonderful venue, and the meat was delicious!

GRAND FAMILY!
We just wanted to inform everyone of some changes we've made to our accounts for the reunion funds. For the past 7 years or so, we've only used PayPal for paying and receiving funds. This year (2023), Linda McKinney is retiring from overseeing the funds and Larry & Denise McKinney have agreed to take on the opening of an actual bank account and oversee the funds. The amount of $6,068.99 has been transferred to the new account. This new account is in Denise's name. The PayPal account had been in Linda's name. We are not a business nor a non-profit, and we don't have a federal ID number. Therefore, that leaves us with having to use a personal account and someone has to use their own social security number and cover any taxes that come with having these funds in their name.
There are some definite changes to this structure that we didn't have before. We'll now have the ability to accept payments for reunion registrations and auction items through Venmo, Zelle and PayPal. We've also been able to give more branches of the family access to credit cards for paying for reunion goods. Hopefully, this will make it easier for the future organizers.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call Denise McKinney. As we've done in the past, if you'd like to see bank statements just ask Larry or Denise. The current account balance and information will also be available at each family reunion as well as right here.
