Hi, JOCO-scendants! The listserv Meredith Page has set up so we can plan for the Johnston County Reunion (week of July 4, 2002) is now up and running. If you are interested, join our planning party at NC-JC-REUNION-L@rootsweb.com (or you can sign up for the digest version). Learn more about the Johnston County Reunion at http://www.geocities.com/jcncheritage, and remember the site will continue to grow as we complete our plans. The first step is to create and charter a private, non-profit corporation under NC statute so we can charge dues and accept other monies (gifts, grants, etc.). I will be setting this up in late May when I attend the Acorn Festival in Four Oaks. If we fail miserably and have even $1.17 left over, we want to be sure that money goes to the Heritage Center. We are exploring whether the Reunion will be a separate entity or one that has some affiliate relationship to the Heritage Center. It will help us if all of you who have an interest in supporting this reunion, which we believe will be held every other year, would indicate to us what you think dues should be. We need to have a certain amount of operating capital to rent meeting places, arrange for clean-up, etc., and keep lists, maps, etc. All suggestions and any thoughts at all are welcome. Join us. Ann Massengill, Acting Chair Johnston County Reunion (soon to be Inc.)
