The Mini Reunion on Saturday, November 21 was successful!  Of the 140 people who registered, 109 showed up for the reunion.
There was a lot of interaction between family members, and many seemed very interested in the genealogy sessions.
The delicious Jambalaya Dinner was enjoyed by all.
Our 1999 T-shirt was unveiled at the reunion.  From sales it looks like we have a winner t-shirt.  Anyone interested in purchasing a t-shirt or any other memorabilia, please address your request to the ANewsletter@ address (P. O. Box 375, Abbeville, LA 70511-0375).  The committees have been working very hard to make the 1999 reunion one that you will remember for many years.  The complete reunion itinerary will be published in La Gazette after the general membership meeting of March 13, 1999.

Treasurers Report

The Hebert Family Association checking accounts are:
1) The Association General Account is the account used to deposit and disburse funds received           from dues and donations. 
2) The Associations Reunion Account is the account used to deposit and disburse funds received        from sale of memorabilia and corporate sponsorships.

 At sometime during the next 3 months the Associations General Account will transfer funds to the reunion account to help defray some of the expenses of the reunion.
The memorabilia that the Family has for sale is made possible by the underwriting ($) of such memorabilia by several of our members.  The people who paid for such memorabilia will be reimbursed as funds are received.  Once those people are paid the revenue received from sales will be profit.
