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

Family and friends (21 people) gathered at the Willow Swamp Baptist Church Fellowship Hall to celebrate the 76^th 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:

Jimmy Williams suggested that Andy Hunter, Pastor who did the video at the 2015 75^th 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 75^th 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.

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
