REUNION 2010 • Pay-As-You-Go: This is a new concept tohelp those of us (young and old) who mayneed a place to save their funds so as notto be tempted to use it before the reunion.It would be much easier to save a littleeach month and not have to come up witha lump sum when funds are due. THIS ISOPTIONAL!! No one is required toparticipate. This' is how Pay-As-You-Goworks. We will open a savlnqs account ,named Turner- Bogguess Family Reunion.Monies you want to save will be forwardedto Bonni Huffman, which will be depositedinto the account. A receipt will beforwarded back to you immediately toconfirm your funds were received and inthe savings account. Should you decideyou don't want to participate, contact BonniHuffman and your money will be returnedto you, no questions asked ... IT'S YOURMONEY! Anyone can contribute to anotherperson's savings account if the wish bygiving us the person's name when yousend it in. You can also send contributionstoward a general account (We Care Fund)to assist others needing financial assist-ance in attending. Please include whereyou wish your funds to be applied.Presently, the three individuals on theaccount are Bonni Huffman, Leasa(Ronnie) Neely, and James Turner.
