119th Kalloch Reunion Minutes - 1986


(Transcribed from the original handwritten copy.)

The 119th Kalloch Reunion was held August 23, 1986 at Beaver Lodge, Union, Maine.  It was a cool day with a small attendance.

After having our picnic lunches, we went inside for the meeting.  President Dean Mayhew called the meeting to order.  We heard the treasurers report with a balance of $546.67 on hand.  The Sec. report was read.

It was suggested for next year that the nominating committee be appointed before lunch - so they can have time to find out who wants to be an officer.

Obituary report was
1. Rev. Arthur Olsen from California
2. Norman Millay, New York
3. Mona Richardson, Kennebunk, Maine
4. Doris King Morgan, Conn.
5. Frank DeSimone, Lincolnville.

Correspondence and bills -
Nancy Kalloch Sack told us about West Coast relatives of Alexander Kalloch that want to attend the next reunion.

Newsletter - She would like information about Kallochs - obituary - a few lines about the person, their life.  There are near to 200 newsletters going out.

It was suggested that money left from Sam Kalloch be used for the text books for students attending vocational school in college locally.  Georges Valley High School.

The original record book is irreplaceable.  It was suggested to be placed in a museum in Westbrook for safekeeping and available to Kallochs.  President Mayhew volunteered to find out who would microfilm the original record book.  We should have Zerox copies for our records.
