ECAFA Meeting Minutes The ECAFA met Tuesday evening, September 28, 2004, at Best Food Cafeteria in Siler City. In attendance were:
Linda Cooper
Nancy Martin
Becky Sexton
Harlan Sexton
Sara Allred
Mildred Allred
Blanche Allred
Franklin Allred
Mary Ward
Wayne Ward
Dennis York
The meeting opened with Harlan delivering the
Treasurer's Report. Currently, there is $611.00 in the ECAFA bank
account. Donations, Sales and the Raffle at the Reunion brought in
$715.00. We spent $780.95 on the Reunion. Expenses included the
van rentals, portable toilets, flyers, sales tax, raffle ticket items, school
rental, and gas for the vans. Becky Sexton donated the cost of the paper
plates and cutlery used during the reunion. After all expenses were
paid, the reunion wound up costing a total $65.95 ($780.95 total expenses -
$715.00 income = $65.95). Harlan said this was very similar to last
year's reunion income and expenses.
Discussion then focused on the possibility of
holding the reunion every other year. Some members and/or reunion guests
had suggested that locals may be more interested in attending if the reunion
was not held as often. This year, an estimated 150 cousins attended the
reunion. However, over half of this year's attendees were from out of
town or out of state and many plan to come many months in advance.
Following discussion, in which all members present participated, Harlan made a
motion that we hold the Reunion again next year, on the 2nd weekend in
September, and see how many people local and / or from out of town or out of
state attend, then make future Reunion plans based on the attendance.
Franklin 2nd the motion and all voted "Yes".
Dennis York invited everyone to attend the York
Reunion and Craven Reunion, both scheduled for this coming weekend. He
suggested that everyone could gain a new perspective on family reunions,
possibly giving us ideas for our reunion for next year. For more
information about these reunions, contact Dennis at dryork2@airmail.net

Linda informed everyone that the Randolph County
Genealogical Society workshop scheduled for October 16th had been cancelled.
Discussion then focused on the November 6th
one-day trip to Old Salem. We will rent a 15 passenger van to travel in
that day. Plans are to leave from the Wal-Mart parking lot in Asheboro
at 9am, lunch at the Old Salem Tavern at 1pm, returning to Asheboro around
7pm. 7 people have already signed up to go, and seating is limited.
If you are interested in joining us for this trip, please contact Linda ASAP.

The next ECAFA meeting will be held at the Blue
Mist Restaurant at 6pm, Tuesday, November 16th.
