Financial Needs
Efforts are always made to keep reunion and operating costs to a minimum. Several years ago, the newsletter mailing list was updated and addresses no longer valid were removed. Actions like this help us keep our printing and postage costs at a minimum.
We mail roughly 303 newsletters every year to family members located throughout the country. We have also started sending the newsletters by e-mail. We sent 97 e-mails to family members this year. In the past few years, we have had roughly 60 to 70 people attending the reunion, many of whom are children. We realize that if you must travel a great distance, it is more difficult or perhaps impossible to come to the reunion every year. However, folks still would like to receive the newsletter to stay up-to-date on family information. If you would like to be added to the newsletter mailing list please contact Martha Pearl Copenhaver Bates at mpcbates@aol.com. If you are currently receiving the newsletter by regular mail and would like to receive it by e-mail instead, please contact Martha Pearl Copenhaver Bates at mpcbates@aol.com.
Currently, the folks who attend the reunion are the ones who are bearing the load of the newsletter and operating costs. We do not charge anyone to be on the mailing list and do not charge dues of any kind. We do need help though.
Please think about making a financial
contribution to help cover newsletter
printing and postage costs, reunion
operating costs, or a donation to the church
for this year’s reunion. You can send
your donation to the treasurer:
