Minutes for the 76th Williams-Tyler Family Reunion-May 7, 2016

Family and friends (21 people) gathered at the Willow Swamp Baptist Church Fellowship Hall to celebrate the 76th family reunion. The meeting began with Jimmy Williams, President noting there would be no formal business meeting. Bragg Williams gave a devotion from 2 Peter 3:10-12 summarizing that all of our daily lives should include prayer, righteous living and evangelism.

Bragg then presented the treasurer's report as follows:

BB (With the sale of the lot on the River): $1,902.60
Balance on hand as of 5-6-2016 $1,734.60

Jimmy Williams suggested that Andy Hunter, Pastor who did the video at the 2015 75th Reunion be paid $500.00 out of the $1,734.60 balance on hand. Motion passed to do so; therefore bringing the balance down to $1,234.60 once paid. Additionally, Jimmy Williams had copies of the DVD of the 75th Reunion for sale for $3.00 each. Email Jimmy Williams at jwiljrj "at" netscape.net and he will mail you a copy if you would like to purchase one.

Charles DeV. Williams agreed to serve as President for the upcoming 77th reunion in May 2017. Barbara Coker agreed to remain Secretary and Bragg Williams agreed to remain Treasurer.

It was proposed by Charles DeV. Williams and approved to change the date of the Williams-Tyler reunion to the 3rd Saturday in May beginning in 2017. The time/place would remain the same at 11:30am at Willow Swamp Baptist Church in Norway, SC. This was to avoid graduation/possible Mother’s Day weekend in hopes to improve attendance.

Byron Williams invited all to also attend the Williams-Houck Family Reunion which is held the last Sunday in April each year. Email him at bw "at" coastaloccmed.com for more info.

A blessing was given and all enjoyed a delicious lunch.

Barbara A. Coker, Secretary
