APPEAL FROM THE TREASURER
Greetings, Kallochs! If you’re anything like I was when I first started
attending the Kalloch Reunion, you may be wondering why we want your
money. It’s a valid question, and here’s what I hope you will consider
to be a valid answer: In short, ensuring that we continue our family
legacy and preserve our history for the current and future generations
is not free. We use our funds to pay for the cost of printing and
mailing our annual newsletter. We have to pay for the use of the space,
refreshments, and now a Zoom subscription for our gathering each year.
Outside of our annual gathering, our funds go toward maintaining our
family website, gravestone repair, and other miscellaneous expenses. We
are an entirely non-profit organization, and all of our officers are
unpaid volunteers. It is only through the generosity of donors like you
that we are able to keep our family traditions alive.
I hope you will consider making a donation to our reunion association
this year. For the first time, we will be offering a donate button on
our website.
And as always, you will have the option to
mail a check or contribute in-person at the gathering. Many of you are
familiar with our tradition of passing around the
tin coffee pot to
collect donations at the reunion. As we have the opportunity to meet
safely in person once again, we will continue our tradition of “passing
the pot” that has been used to support the Kalloch Reunion for
generations. The other officers and I thank you very much in advance for
your contributions.
Familial regards,
Paul Wilson, Treasurer
