Family Reunion Planning — Partial Transcript (27:13 onward)
✨ Participants debated reunion location options (including an Alaska cruise) and raised cost and accessibility concerns. The group shifted focus to creating a family foundation to manage funds, with proposed governance, committees, and next steps to review a draft and meet again.
Decisions
🤝 Table final decision on reunion location (Alaska cruise) for further review; revisit after cost analysis and consideration of accessibility. 💭 Proceed with moving from concept to an organized family foundation: circulate draft, review, clarify legal status, and meet to advance setup. 🤝 Hold a follow-up meeting (in-person or Zoom) the next morning to review foundation draft and allow objections to be stated at 10:00 AM; otherwise approval assumed.
Group weighed Alaska cruise versus other options, discussing cost, travel logistics, and who might be excluded because of expense or medical constraints.
Participants debated whether to host the next family reunion as an Alaska cruise (departing from Seattle) versus more accessible/affordable locations. Several people noted cruise costs could be comparable to other destinations once flight and on-board costs are included, but overall high expense would likely reduce attendance and exclude family members who cannot fly or who are on limited budgets. Concerns were also raised about the financial impact on future reunions (e.g., Detroit 2030) if members spend heavily for Alaska now. No final location decision was reached; the group acknowledged a standstill and decided to table the topic for further review.
💡 Alaska cruise and Seattle departure discussed as attractive but costly option. 🚩 High cost risks reducing attendance and excluding those who cannot fly or afford travel. 🚩 Concern that choosing an expensive reunion now could reduce participation in future reunions (financial exhaustion). ⚡️ Group agreed to pause decision-making and revisit location later (next morning or at dinner).
A working group presented an outline for a family foundation to manage reunion funds, suggesting board composition, committees, contribution levels, and the need for legal clarity.
A committee recapped previous work to draft a foundation model: a governing board with one representative per sibling branch (aiming for an odd number including youth/advisory members), four main committees (scholarship, host family, outreach, finance), and an annual per-leg administrative contribution (proposed $100) to cover registration and banking fees. The plan allows donors to direct contributions to specific committees with committee-set distribution rules. Attendees discussed whether to structure the entity as a legal foundation, trust, or other vehicle, raised tax and disqualified-person concerns, and emphasized the need for bylaws, written criteria for participation, transparency, and accountability. Past attempts and existing pooled funds were referenced; members urged consistent contributions and volunteer follow-through to make the foundation operational.
💡 Board proposal: one member from each family branch plus youth advisory representation; committees for scholarship, host family, outreach, finance. 🙋♂️ Suggested baseline contribution of $100 per family leg annually to cover admin costs. 🚩 Need legal clarity: whether to form a formal foundation (and tax status) vs. a family trust or other structure. 🤕 Past attempts failed due to lack of ongoing work and accountability; success requires committed volunteers and enforcement. 🤝 Allow donors to fund specific committees; committees to set distribution rules to avoid one-family control.
Participants discussed existing pooled funds, the need for transparent banking/controls, recurring meetings, and practical steps to begin collecting contributions prior to formal legal setup.
Attendees noted there are existing pockets of rolling funds from previous reunions and a forgotten account with money that could help deposits for future events. The group underscored the need to avoid single-person control of accounts and recommended transparent multi-signature or board-controlled banking. They proposed interim measures such as starting a checking account or accepting contributions while the foundation's legal structure is finalized and suggested regular (quarterly) reviews and periodic committee meetings (in-person and via Zoom) to maintain momentum. Accountability and volunteer follow-through were emphasized as key to success.
💡 There are existing pooled funds that can be used for deposits; transparency about these funds is needed. 🚩 Avoid single-person control of family funds; use board oversight and clear banking controls. ⚡️ Start collecting contributions and review quarterly while legal structure is finalized.
The group agreed to circulate the foundation draft for review, hold follow-up meetings (in-person and Zoom), and update/create a family directory to centralize contacts and skills.
Participants requested time to review the foundation outline by tonight and meet the following morning (proposed 10:00 AM) or after dinner for those staying. They emphasized using group meeting tools (Zoom) for those not present, improving communication beyond Facebook, and scheduling periodic check-ins (monthly/quarterly) while establishing the foundation. The creation or update of a family directory—a digital contact list including skills and expertise—was volunteered to help link members throughout the year. The meeting closed with prayer and mutual appreciation.
⚡️ Circulate foundation draft for review tonight; reconvene in the morning (around 10 AM) or afterward to finalize next steps. ⚡️ Create/update a family directory with contact info and member skills/expertise. 💡 Improve communication channels (Zoom meetings, clearer notices) to prevent missed messages.

Transcript
Tony Cu Anderson (0:00): of both 3 days. But I just wanted all of you to know that I go to Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church, and if any of you would like to stay until Sunday and go to church with us, let me know because we can arrange seating and a tour. It's a popular venue, and it's hard to get seen. So if any of you would like to go, just let me know and we will make arrangements for that to happen. Okay. That the service will be the service that we will go.
Tony Cu Anderson (0:29): Because we have 7 TNTs and one o'clock roads. And, uh, we choose to go. Oh, okay. We don't lose that. And the one o'clock is really good. I mean, and we have the passes that love the street. So, service is normally about 90 minutes, but then we go until one o'clock, and you say we reach the brothers. He gonna keep on going. Yeah. Just let us know.
Tony Cu Anderson (1:05): Thank you, yes, ma'am. I am Pam. Sarah's daughter, are we going? What point are we going to go and talk about? We can do it now. Okay, and one of the things I wanna put out there is that we've been, we've had this discussion many times before, and even though I know, because we've been doing for a while, we did, maybe still only 2 days, when we brought it out of Alabama, it was one, it was like 4 or 5 hours, and that was it, you know, and we were at a truck stop in the country. Four, three. One day, one day, and done. It was done, and we, like, looking around, 'cause we, you know, it was four preachers that came and preached, basically. We had a drug stop when you get to eat, and then they get to preach, and it was over with. We like, huh?
Tony Cu Anderson (1:54): And we still did. We still did two days for a while. But we expanded it for three days for the very principle of people coming so far. Like, the distance and the pulse, and people having extra time to get together.
Tony Cu Anderson (2:11): Yeah, the 1st day you're doing nothing but trying to figure out who's doing it, you know? And then the, and that's why the 2nd day was always the picnic. So all everyone can get together and that's the thing you really socialize. And a lot of times people didn't even get there until the 2nd time. Yeah. So that's, yeah. especially with you lost generation where you still have a lot of people that are working.
Tony Cu Anderson (2:37): Fly some more expensive.
Tony Cu Anderson (2:39): When I had my children. We made a vacation of it. It was our vacation.
Tony Cu Anderson (2:48): Yeah. Yeah, we've even extended it in some places. We've been there for a week just to get in other activities and see the city. And that's basically what we did this time. We've been here all week. We've been here for a week, and I know when you guys usually go to New York, you make a vacation out of it. So that's that's the primary reason and focus as to why we did it to the 3 days. And I'm Kalondra. Probably. I didn't hear you? I'm colon, right? That's why, they, they, yeah. Maybe buffet. Anyway, that's what we did consider, and I was telling Wendy, I said, 2 days is good, but we have people travel for so far, you know, even we travel, you know. Right. We stay to space. And I understand. And, but I don't know. If it works for you, but we can vote. Three days is what we have always done, what we said, too. But 3 days, uh, maybe sufficient for everybody since we're traveling and all that. I don't know. Let's vote. Yeah, we want to… Four days is off.
Tony Cu Anderson (3:52): Because main is growing for 4 hours. Yeah. And that's why I say… Yeah, that's a lot. I'm a week drive. I'm going to New York, a feeling or whatever.
Tony Cu Anderson (4:03): So why are we doing? Go ahead, I'm sorry. Because they, the discussion came up as the 2 verses three. So do we stick with the three? I did go back to two. I feel like that's what you said. In this case, my name is Jared Barrow. My mother was Barbara Spence from Miss Olabelle…
Tony Cu Anderson (4:24): I think we leave that up to the host who are putting it on the family unions at what days they want to use because they know what kind of work they got to put into it. And I think it'd be up to them based on the people they get working with.
Tony Cu Anderson (4:39): Okay. I'm sorry. I'm actually on Leslie's daughter. I just have a clarifying question. So if we shorten this to 2 days, what are we planning for those 2 days? Are we just cutting out like the Thursday night, kind of reception, meet and greet? or what are those 2 days used? is what I'm curious about. You can do the meet and greet that 2nd day. I mean, but if would you want to do it a lot? That would be okay. Yeah, absolutely. According to the host. I'm Leslie Allen, son of Walter Allen Jr.
Tony Cu Anderson (5:08): My concern, I mean, we can vote, and I think that's the right thing to do. But my concern is if you narrow it from 3 to 2, then it's going to be kind of just one, because you know how we are, right? Yeah. People are gonna show up. Oh, I'll get there in the picnic, you know? Absolutely. Oh, no, I'm gonna get that after the picnic. You know, and then before you know it, we're down there. Oh, yeah, we're just gonna have the dinner.
Tony Cu Anderson (5:29): Yeah, you're right. That's right. Some people do one day work. It's 11 o'clock.
Speaker S4 (5:33): It's 11 o'clock.
Tony Cu Anderson (5:35): And I think that's my concern, but I think everybody is. Yeah, right there. No, not our family. Hi, I'm only Billy's youngest daughter. I think we should leave it, and you do what's in your financial pocket.
Tony Cu Anderson (5:54): You know, because we really don't have a lot of time and then we have activities and stuff that takes away, like some of us come like maybe 2 or 3 days early. wonderful. Some of us get here early on a Thursday and then some of us is not getting here till 10, 11 o'clock. For whatever reason it may be, you know what I'm saying? So I think it should remain the same in whatever's in your financial pocket is what you do. Yeah. So do we vote on it? Or do we only leave it? It's just a, go ahead. I guess my question. To me is, what are we really voting on? Because Thursday is not really anything but people coming in, maybe the meet and greet. Well, the family reunion is the Friday and Saturday. No, but Thursday… And you have a room most of the time. So like if you're hosting, most of the time you have hospitality suite, which is Thursday, Friday, Saturday. And then… No matter what. No, no, that's an extra day.
Tony Cu Anderson (7:01): It's an extra cost. And then… Right. And then, right. And then on top of that, you're still want to have some type of light refreshment because people getting off the road. They may be hungry, even though they still go out to eat or whatever, but you know, that's normally what we do on Thursdays.
Tony Cu Anderson (7:22): Yeah, they still hungry. We're sitting here talking for 8 hours and eating. hospitality suite for hours. Yeah, that was true. We're just there. congregated there. discussions and all of that. It was a
Tony Cu Anderson (7:36): It was a good coming together. I like, I like, hello, I'm Kia. I'm therapy, granddaughter, one of them, and I remember in Virginia, like it was yesterday, we went to Frank's house. And if you have, you know, as an example, if you don't have a hospitality room, it's not a comp room as part of the concession. And we went to his house and it was like a nice, welcome in. You're here, a little fish fry. I remember seeing it.
Tony Cu Anderson (8:03): that, like, is really nice if you have the, you know, space to accommodate at someone's house as opposed to the hospital room. But it was still on Thursday.
Tony Cu Anderson (8:14): So it sounds like everybody's just saying, well, this is what we've been doing, continue doing it. It was just a, just to, and that's good that we have to dialogue to even, you know, come and bring up different ideas about it. But we if we want to vote on it, but I don't know if anybody's supposed to. So we leave it?
Tony Cu Anderson (8:30): Okay, we're leaving. Well, I have one little option… Oh, some options going here. Like when he was saying…
Tony Cu Anderson (8:38): Yeah, so instead of trying to change it from 2 days. Yeah, let it depend on the stage. What we need to add into our registration is, if you're gonna stay, if you're gonna come Thursday through the whole weekend, it's one rate. If you're just gonna come one day or two days, it's another rate.
Tony Cu Anderson (8:56): So instead of changing the dates, you have rates for certain days. I think that gets a little sticky. That is.
Tony Cu Anderson (9:05): The only… the only… and I… Have we have we thought I did centralizing it? Shh. Oh, this… Making, making, like, making registration not a thing that's incumbent upon the host family, but it being, like, being centralized with, like, a person. The only problem with that, and, you know, is that that all of this stuff that I've ever is pre-planned… Hey, right. That's right. So, you know, use it to Nick to do. Say, I'm just doing this, you know, it's kind of, it's very, because you clump it all together. It gets money is money to a lot more. Now, in terms of having, you can say you get 30 people. I see. You're going to put a budget based on 30 people and then you got to pay that, fill those 30 people, whatever, print off. The agreements we have with a hotel, or rent a, they have a U, you got to pay a fee, early fee for that. Yeah, yeah, I mean, everything's impressed. And that's how they get the budget, but it's set the feet. And people flip flop. what they gonna do a lot too. And you give a little concession for that, but it's only so much for when you, you know, and you know, as it gets closer and closer, you get more and more. But so it's just, yeah, it's good to have a be upfront of what you're doing. But you know, another thing that we're going to try to implement into the issue is you can start paying for things. Yeah. Well, that's, and that was a very, that was a great suggestion that came up with. I'm Sheila. I'm Lucas.
Tony Cu Anderson (10:39): By the way.
Tony Cu Anderson (10:41): Okay. So we're not going to vote for moving out. Definitely, um, for those of you that since I think Cynthia mentioned, um, and for those of you that want to stay oversight, and go to see our cathedral, which cost us $60 million, which we pay for, doing, built and paid for, doing COVID. If you want to stay open. We are working with wine because, you know, if you're going to have to stay, go to the 10 o'clock service, you're going to miss the 11 o'clock checkout. So if you have to stay that day, we are negotiating with Juan Jackson, so when you see him today, so that we will go to his house that evening for reception.
Tony Cu Anderson (11:24): So you could…
Tony Cu Anderson (11:32): Sort of Canada. That's okay. That's just that location that they're doing.
Tony Cu Anderson (11:40): It's hard to… That's true, because that's… Yeah, people try to get back to work or whatever, get back on. And many of us know each other, and any of us go. So I would like it to death. She can come, so… But maybe in the… You know, we should have communicate, so we don't have to. Yeah. But I know what you're saying.
Tony Cu Anderson (12:07): Well, we use it. Y'all always get a little… Yeah.
Tony Cu Anderson (12:15): Hello, my name.
Tony Cu Anderson (12:18): That's not a bad thing, really, because it'll get people.
Tony Cu Anderson (12:25): Oh, yeah. I know I'm that way. I was just like, okay, I know. And a lot of times you'll know because you know the lion area, but you don't know who it is. Okay, and you have a little… She's in Sharon's line, but I don't know. I was a little… Okay, so what Mail was suggesting was the napax. Yep. To implement, to make sure we had an exact. I think that's a good idea because it happens a lot. We don't know. Oh, Gregory, Walter Jr.'s 2nd son. I think about that.
Tony Cu Anderson (13:06): I think that's a good idea because I, I, but I do think like a lot of the stuff we're bringing up. I do think it should be the host that makes it. decision because a lot of that stuff is going to vary from place to place or time to time. And I think we should not be so rigid that we can't allow that, but the host is gonna know. They're going to know, like Gerrard said, they're going to know what numbers they got. they're gonna know that. So I think we really should leave a lot of it to the host. And we should just back what the host does. I mean, when we get the flyer, and it says, you know, this day, this time, then that's the way it's going to be. you know, I don't think we should should, like, question or, or, or, you know, 2nd guess that. let them let them do that. That's what the whole stuff.
Tony Cu Anderson (13:47): Sounds okay. But it's also a lot easier for people to plan things when there's more consistency. I agree with that. I agree with that. But we have to understand this.
Tony Cu Anderson (13:57): for our family. Yeah, that part. I don't think much has changed really in the past. I think they're all amazing. Hell, Carolina, last year, put together a little vocal… So we could pass… That's the segue. Yeah.
Tony Cu Anderson (14:17): Okay. I had 3 Musketeers.
Tony Cu Anderson (14:20): 2 quick quick comments. One, I think I'm following you. Um, I think it's a good idea. I like Wisconsin, wherever she is. That's excellent. I mean, knowing the dates a year in advance and all the things that you got… Fantastic. And I think it's possible. And it's probably not possible. Doing something like that every year. So at the reunion, you know. Everybody needs to save the day for now.
Tony Cu Anderson (14:46): I think because before everybody is, because, you know, when we leave and we go back to the real world, you know, you're off doing things and you don't look at this stuff until, you know, whenever you look at it. But, I mean, I know it may not always be possible, but I think that's a really great idea what they did and if that's something… So let me hold on to that. Sure. For next, so for next year, just so we all know. So next year is Houston and then so we can go ahead and do our 2 years outwards. It's Atlanta.
Tony Cu Anderson (15:15): It's a it's a Atlanta is 2028? Yes. And then 2029?
Tony Cu Anderson (15:20): No, it was it was supposed to be Detroit and then Alaska. Detroit was.
Tony Cu Anderson (15:26): 2030. Alaska was 2030. No, it was. No, it was 2030.
Tony Cu Anderson (15:33): Yeah, I said 20, 20, 28. It was supposed to be Alaska 2029 is possibly Alaska. Is that what you heard? So next year it's going to be a… Next year it's Houston. Yeah, well, I know. 29? Yeah.
Tony Cu Anderson (15:56): We need a problem. 29. Okay. So then 30 was Detroit. Okay, so right there. She not agreeing with you guys. They're still… Okay. So we want to go ahead and discuss that now since we're here, we want to go ahead with the Alabama. I think Rihanna has some questions about… I mean, she has some comments. Okay, so we'll so we'll go ahead. So in terms of just kind of being all in one court. So we're going to finish up what we're talking about, the planning of the years going forward the next 3 years. And then we'll do the Alan Foundation, and then we'll be the, we should be wrapped up, so we don't have to, you know, we even move on, but I quit our game. Okay? So go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. So last time it's supposed to be 2019, Yana Gay, Ruby, uh, granddaughter, and Crystal, Ruby's granddaughter. Okay. So July, now the family rooms are in July. And in Alaska, July, as most of you know, it's tourist. season, just like every place else. One night, hotel in July starts at 400. And they do not give even Alaska residence discount. Wow. I mean, I like asking for discounts, ARP military educator discounts, but I doubt we can get a good deal in the last burger. So I was just gonna last it 2 weeks ago before my job, and you guys would not want to stay at the hotel that they succumbed us to for $350 a night. July is the most. Everybody comes to Alaska in July, so it's, I mean, a nice hotel has like 4 or 5 kilometers a night. It's not even an extravagant hotel at some place.
Tony Cu Anderson (17:33): It's not even like a… And our pheasant, Edith, she's a flight attendant, and she's standing at one of our 4 star hotel, and she said she didn't like it. And so it's little rugged, cheesy, it's cheap, but it's expensive. It's the wilderness. So… So, that… Oh, hold on. One at a time, guys.
Tony Cu Anderson (17:59): at a time. Pam was talking, Pam talk. Everybody else be quiet.
Tony Cu Anderson (18:04): Yes, Greg. So… So what are you all saying? Because this actually came up yesterday and some of us were talking because we know it's very expensive. And based on what you're saying, it's really way it's not even what I think people were comprehending. Right. So I haven't talking about. We were just talking about hotels, not rental cars, or even lights. Right, right. So based on what you guys are saying, that's not even a total cost or package. So are you think of the suggestion that maybe we vote on somebody else hosting? think that's it. I don't know if that is that premature? I mean, have you guys exhausted the Airbnbs? I mean, I'm sure somebody has a McMansion up there and put 20 of this in there.
Tony Cu Anderson (18:50): People are finished our speech before questions.
Tony Cu Anderson (18:53): Go ahead. So, um, So yeah, and then, I mean, tickets, I mean, for the past 2.5 years, I've been going back and forth to Alaska, my tickets, I paid up to $1,100.
Tony Cu Anderson (19:05): 86 to $1,100 just to get there back and forth. So what we are right attending or would like to throw out there is not necessarily having a family reunion there, but we do have, we have, like, an Airbnb at our house. Um, like if people wanted to come, um, not for a family or union, but just come and experience Alaska because I know a lot of you guys are mental lasts and life ex-ners. We are hoping to coming up with some dates where people could stay there. We have we can sleep 22 people. They are, we have one room that has a king bed, but the others are like bunk bed style because we house missionaries and we also do the Airbnb. So that would be the it's not, you know, it's not a hotel. So that is an auction and we'd have just the nominal fee to stay there. But that is option. People want to experience Alaska. Not for a family review, but just to come up. And then, you know, just all the different things. Like, I would recommend things we would recommend you do is go to Denali, see them out, go on the train. That's $200. Go 4 wheeling. I mean, all this stuff we will recommend. Min cost a lot of money. I mean, we're talking about, I would say, about $2,000 a person, too, if you stayed in a hotel flight, even more than that, and do the different things that you wanted them to Alaska to do. folks. So we don't recommend the family reunion being in Alaska, but we are open to people like they do a couple days where people actually come and stay in our place and we can, you know, organize some things like that. So you can still get that Alaska experience. Is there a bit? Is there a better time other than July or is it just all around? That's the time you want to come? Because we have snow from October through May.
Tony Cu Anderson (20:46): Isn't that the big? The fun part of Alaska, though, right? Yeah, I mean, what have daylight? Yeah. I know. So everybody wants that. Yeah. Something else that… Chill, it's not really better. an Alaskan cruise. And then you afford out of like, you know, battle and then you tour around and then finish in Anchorage or with… So that's an option. I think when we were looking, just a quick look was like 2,700.
Tony Cu Anderson (21:16): I say 1450, like the cheapest. Yeah, but you still need your airfare. Well, yeah, that too, but just to know what the base is, you know, from Seattle, you know, but that's another option. So can we think of like maybe like an anti, like an anti- uh, reunion, something like January, uh, where it wouldn't be. I mean, I know I personally love that. I'm attracted to the idea of going to Alaska where it's cold or maybe it's like skiing or something. I mean…
Tony Cu Anderson (21:53): Yeah, slodge that out. Yeah, and it sounds like it's off, it's off, it's off season. It's off peak. Maybe. I was there in February. And that was in February, March, when they have the adjitterod.
Tony Cu Anderson (22:07): Oh yeah, that's the other one. Yeah. So it just really depends on what you want to do. Do you want to enjoy the, like, fishing and train ride? To go out on the fishing boat is $500, and it's no guarantee that you… My son caught the 68 pound halibut. You didn't have a salad. It cost us over $500 just for him to go out there. He is the only person that causes halibut. Wow.
Tony Cu Anderson (22:32): It costs you $130 to process it. But what does that mean?
Tony Cu Anderson (22:35): You're talking about almost $1,000.
Tony Cu Anderson (22:39): Because these are rich people. These are rich people fun time. Okay. His birthday gift, if you want to.
Tony Cu Anderson (22:48): Yeah, that's… But it's also a great experience. I mean, you would love seeing the bears. The bears actually… As long as they're… A couple of fences, right? It's also a great experience that you're not… Well, that's… that they can come up a way to pinpoint a location 2 years in a dance. And then you could pay on things for 2 years before you go.
Tony Cu Anderson (23:16): Get your airline ticket at least 6 to 12 months ahead of time. You can do that. Yeah. Yeah. So, for us, we plan a year ahead of time. Keep them in here. Okay. Yeah. So, I know we still haven't come up with a solution for the Alaska, I mean, yeah, for the last reunion, I know I mentioned we had mentioned a groove, or some kind of vacation destination that where we can still keep like the tradition of the, you know, 3 nights. You still have all of that. It's just in a different destination because, you know, at times when big things are expensive and personally, for a reunion, I would love to go somewhere where I feel like I'm on vacation. So I know we just, we get a lot of nature, we're very off ahead when people express concern, overpay. I think it was maybe like a $100 person. But if we had, say, 2 years to pay on that. Is that something you all be interested in or do we want to share? Figure out pictures. Are you talking about playing the cruise? And little or bit and little. Uh-huh.
Tony Cu Anderson (24:25): Or a vacation destination, somewhere over the beach.
Tony Cu Anderson (24:30): Oh, no, that's right. They are beaches in Alaska?
Tony Cu Anderson (24:34): I don't know if I'm getting ice on them, but they're not.
Tony Cu Anderson (24:43): So is that something we need to contemplate on? I mean, we do have to figure out what we're gonna do if we're not going to Alaska. Right. But would you all be open? I'm just trying to get the general idea. I know I've talked to a lot of people and they're like, we should have gone. Let's do a cruise, but then also I know people are very concerned about cause, I'm very concerned about breaking tradition. So I'm just trying to see where we are so that we can come up with a solution.
Tony Cu Anderson (25:05): But I like that there. If there is there expensive to stay in Alaska for our reunion, why not a cruise reunion through Alaska? I mean, you got 3 years.
Tony Cu Anderson (25:20): .
Tony Cu Anderson (25:20): Well, I think… Well, what's the definition of expensive? If you're paying $500 for a room, and then you gotta pay $1,400 per person, and you're doing three days, it's still $500 for a room per day. Same price.
Tony Cu Anderson (25:35): It's just that you don't want to worry about the food.
Tony Cu Anderson (25:43): Well, it's just something we need to pond around and circle back around. I mean, what if we're gonna do that? Well, I got, so would it be, like, would anybody be open to, like, how things happened with the Tennessee folks, and they had to put together something like in Fort Lauderdale? Would that, would people, would that be considered like another option? If we can't do Alaska? And that is Monique. So, that's an option. So, like, when Tennessee had their emergency, people got together and they just did something in a different state. And they put together, you know? Yeah, the Alaska is supposed to have it.
Tony Cu Anderson (26:28): decide that they're not getting enough interest. Yeah. In it, they let them be the ones to decide on another destination. No, well, that's what I'm saying as an option. You also come up with, since that's Alaska's year, in lieu of going to Alaska. That's what we choose not to, we're not going to do that. than Alaska crew playing for us a destination. Can we do that? No pressure. Is that…? I mean, the 4 hour time difference, the not seeing a venue, it's doable, but it's gonna be tricky with the time difference, not knowing what the actual video looks like. Well, what you mean? Yeah. Like knowing what the venue looks like. They would need someone's state side to help them. To help them. I mean, we got social media. Did you go on TikTok? But when we plan, we plan…
Tony Cu Anderson (27:18): Yeah, because we hear that somebody canceled. It was Tennessee. That's what I was about. somebody wasn't able to do it. We did it in Florida. Yeah. Yeah, me. So I think can we agree to… Consider that. whatever destination and whatever you feel comfortable makes a choice to for that is, you know, go to. What if we live?
Tony Cu Anderson (27:46): I mean, I'm about to do Alaska cruise. Yeah.
Tony Cu Anderson (27:52): That's what you bought. That's what you're putting out there. Yeah, so I'm just saying… Yeah, so I'm gonna let you decide that. I already think it's gonna be hard, planning a different location from a different location. It's like constants on your committee.
Tony Cu Anderson (28:10): Guys, guys.
Tony Cu Anderson (28:14): Yeah. Do you think, so given everything you guys have said about the expenses?
Tony Cu Anderson (28:21): Given everything you guys said about the expenses, it obviously sounds very expensive.
Tony Cu Anderson (28:26): And that would narrow, you know, a number of people could come. Do you think that cruise that you mentioned that leaves from Seattle and goes to Alaska? you think that would be a cheaper alternative?
Tony Cu Anderson (28:39): I mean, I know it might be hard to answer right now, right? Yeah, I think it might be comparable. I think it's the same. And you're just not paying for food. 1,400. I think, I think, like, you brought up the point that it's going to be hard to plan from one location, something to happen to another. I agree with that. Loretta's throwing out Constance. I don't know if Constance liked that too much, but whatever. understand that. But listen, the idea is this. It is you all's time to host. Who's going to be better able to do it than you? I get that it may not be easy. I'm not, I understand that. But if you all put y'all stamp on it, I think it'll be it'll be the best that we will have under those circumstances. I don't think anybody else is going to be able to do it better. Even if it is not exactly what you like.
Tony Cu Anderson (29:27): So are you guys open to coming to a lot? I mean, I'm giving those, well, with the information you receive, is Alaska still…
Tony Cu Anderson (29:39): I think… Speaking for me right now, I think that, again, I think, you know, the more expensive something is, in my opinion, the narrower, the more people you're shaving off, who can attend, right? So when you're saying something that's that expensive, then sure, some people would go, but it would obviously be quite different. Yeah, be streamlined. Right, you know, another green unit. So… So I have an…
Tony Cu Anderson (30:19): I would just say think about the people who don't fly. Like, you don't want to alienate people that really. How small of crew is that? It's enough.
Speaker S2 (30:29): Coming up, who's on your mouth?
Tony Cu Anderson (30:31): Some people have medical conditions and they can't fly. You have to consider. You have to look at the full scope. everybody. And I say that in the sense that we used to have to do it when we had much older people on board the family reunion. You know who is well up in age. We had to consider, could they travel to this distance, would they be able to be a part of it? And in all honesty, we don't have as many older people now as we used to. We're getting there.
Tony Cu Anderson (31:05): Well said. Well said.
Tony Cu Anderson (31:10): But in honesty, we used to have to think about the ones that were in their 70s, their 80s, their 90s. We had to think about those with health conditions. God willing. I mean, all of them are factors and things that we still have to consider because we're looking at the full pitch. Right on.
Tony Cu Anderson (31:26): You're not wrong.
Tony Cu Anderson (31:28): Okay. All right. So, it sounds like we are kind of at a standstill with that. So let's just… Death by too many opinions.
Tony Cu Anderson (31:36): And we want to come back if we want to review that again in the morning, maybe? On next year, next year.
Tony Cu Anderson (31:47): You know, together. Or maybe at dinner. Right. Of course, it will be over 2,000. Plus, you have to fly into if you went to Seattle or wherever. Right. I don't think too much. I think the same price. I personally think that based on the information received today, I think I would love to go to Alaska and have a family reunion, but I honestly don't think that that's… It's not a great thing for everybody. Unless, you know, you're probably gonna get 20 people. family, of course. And the issue is… The money, the money concept, if we had like Uncle Robux come and take care of it, we would all do that, right? All right. Okay. Let's just make sure that that's it. I'm a robot. Oh, that's it. I want to say one thing. Just something that you can, like, use to hold on to to think about it. Monique was saying. A family of four, $10,000.
Tony Cu Anderson (32:40): Can we afford that? Yeah. That's what we're talking about. Or something like that. Well, maybe the last committee can say. Can they just bring Alaska to us?
Tony Cu Anderson (32:48): That's all I want to say. And you know what? I don't know. This is the thought I had on that was, um, that if we were able, I don't know, maybe I'm just not geographically sound right now before, but if we were able to go somewhere close, like if it was Seattle, and then if we were able to take a, I don't know, can we take an excursion somewhere, some posts? I don't know what that what does that look like? to go like for a day and come back? I'm just saying, we're something, it's a 4 hour trip from Anchorage to Seattle. Okay
Tony Cu Anderson (33:22): Right. Okay. On a flight? Yeah, like, but you still got to fly to Seattle.
Tony Cu Anderson (33:29): Yeah, I love you. That's right, yeah. So it's some kind of excursion.
Tony Cu Anderson (33:35): Cynthia had some. Okay, go ahead, Cynthia.
Tony Cu Anderson (33:40): Cynthia from Audi Allen's Crew.
Tony Cu Anderson (33:48): My thing, thank you, besides Alaska, Alaska, even if we were to do Alaska.
Tony Cu Anderson (33:56): Because this is because I started thinking about 30. If we all did Alaska, how would that affect Detroit in 30? Because if we all expect, put all our eggs in a basket to go to Alaska because everybody wants to go to Alaska. And I think more people would try to make an effort to go to Alaska, right? Then what would happen to 2030? Because we would be exhausted financially.
Tony Cu Anderson (34:26): So, like…
Tony Cu Anderson (34:31): I see the point.
Tony Cu Anderson (34:33): That's a good point. I never considered that. I think, however, when we talk about the foundation, peace. But there is way that if Alaska maybe just hosts 2029, that once we get the foundation up and going, we might find a way up under the foundation to subsidize, make it affordable, an Alaska adventure a little bit further. everybody could afford to go once you kind of hear this, what we're starting to put together. And if everybody builds into the foundation. Um, then. We could go there. Okay, go ahead, foundation.
Tony Cu Anderson (35:18): Let's go. Uh, to pick it back off.
Tony Cu Anderson (35:23): In order to really make the foundation work, you have to work it. And we've come up, we've come up with a foundation at least twice a month. But the people that are on board or that's part of it, they have to work it. You know, a lot of times we have people say, Oh, yeah, I help out do this, I'll do that, but when it comes time to do that to work, they're not on board. So the thing about it, with Tony and I, and we've had foundations, like I said, at least twice before. But I like the concept of what I've seen and what you guys have put together, but we have to make it work. How do you make it work? You gotta stop volunteering, people. Accountability. That's part of it. Make, you know, and the money part, you know, the contribution and everything. I like that, because it's gonna take that, and that in itself, you know, and if we can pour into the foundation, really make it work, so it can be solid. Well, let us go through that. Okay, so let's go ahead and get to that so we can see what it looks like and so we can move forward. Go ahead, you got it. Okay, so, um, last year, 4 of us was charged to go back through the year, meet and come up with an outline. For the foundation. Yes, it has been tried several times and whatever. So hopefully we have a good rough draft that will help us move forward with doing it. Um, I, Carolyn, who was able to come, um, Kia and Ashley, um, we're on the committee. Caroline and I met once, we got Ashley, not Ashley, Kia.
Tony Cu Anderson (37:22): involved in conversation, so what we came up with was to establish a board that board will consist of one member from each sibling that would make eight, but to have it an odd number, including our young. People will have one member from the advisory board, which will be our young people from 7 to, you know, 21 or whatever the age, we decided. They will sit on the board.
Tony Cu Anderson (37:58): Based on the state, that person from their advisory board, though, would have to be 18.
Tony Cu Anderson (38:03): Okay, I know at least in Michigan, that person would have to be at least 18. to be on a full board.
Tony Cu Anderson (38:12): From that.
Tony Cu Anderson (38:15): Each family leg. would put in $100 every year, and that would be to pay for the administration cost, so every year I know in the state of Michigan, you have to pay your registration fee to stay active, any banking fees or anything of that nature.
Tony Cu Anderson (38:40): Um, there will be, I think we have 4 basic committees. The scholarship committee, the host family committee. Outreach committee, and then the financial committee.
Tony Cu Anderson (38:56): So the way we saw it working, because the biggest issues came is how people put money into the foundation and who would get money out.
Tony Cu Anderson (39:08): Well, this way, everybody's on the same leg is, you know, by each leg. But if one person felt strongly to be on a scholarship committee, they could donate whatever they wanted to the scholarship committee. People could donate to whatever committee they wanted to, that committee would set up the rules and so forth about how money would get distributed and what processes they would put in place. That way it's not one family controlling this or one family controlling that. And then anybody could be on those committees. It wouldn't be limited. You could have whoever wanted to be on what committees.
Tony Cu Anderson (39:54): Exactly.
Tony Cu Anderson (39:59): Um, Tony from also the OD side of the family, so in my, just the recap, so we're thinking of like a, a board of directors that's elected by the family at large, um, or is it a, or, or, or is it like the branches are sending a delegate to the board and the board itself confirms itself, or like, or my question also is like, I think it would be useful that this like, this,
Tony Cu Anderson (40:27): plenary of a whole would have insight or input in a regular, like in a regular way. So that's, I'm just trying to figure out what's the structure.
Tony Cu Anderson (40:38): as a leg, as a as a representative of. Yeah, so, so, so one thing I hear, what I'm hearing is that, um, of the, uh, the, uh, of the Alan Clan, there were 7 of them, right? There were 8 of them. So we know that there's at least 8 members are descendants from each branch, right? Are, who's in charge of like, would it be that, like, that family that will send a delegate or would it be like, At large. Like, will it be, will we have like an election here at the meeting, and then, okay, so that's that's the structure question. This is the question that I'm asking. Well, that part we hadn't just totally discussed, but have that's done. Each lady could send that lady represented. Right. And the reason why I'm asking that is that I love the idea of like this plenary because I think this is the most senior of the entire family, right? I mean, I'm not the senior. It's the most long-standing. This impromptu business thing. Um, business meeting. And I think there has to be a way to fold that into the foundation. If it, I mean, just full stop.
Tony Cu Anderson (41:46): Well, the whole family wouldn't be part, but your governing body would be one member from each family. So it's almost like every year you have all the shareholders come. Right. So this would be like a shareholders meeting, though. would be the shareholders. the board would present things and then the shareholders would kind of vote for it. Foundations work a little bit differently than that. But similarly, the board would come. This is what we worked on. These are the things we're presenting to the family, then the body at home would then kind of vote and give the board a little bit of direction and approval of, you know, how they see fit or bring those things up, actually. I just, I have a clarifying question. So we're using the word foundation, foundation. We're using the word foundation, foundation has legal meaning. And I'm trying to understand. If we are able to legally organize as a foundation or if we're using that term, like… We would legally be egg foundation because it's family money. And it would be that money would be going back to the family, though. So it's self-serving. Yes.
Tony Cu Anderson (43:02): I think we should be careful. I don't think that's like lack of a tax standpoint. Are you sure?
Tony Cu Anderson (43:08): Yeah, that's one of those things. That's like a 4 foundation. That like…
Tony Cu Anderson (43:13): But are they serving their family is my thing. Like I didn't think foundations… They're getting tax breaks from the federal government to then go give their money back to people who are part of the foundation or their family owners. That's the reason. So I think, yeah, you're thinking of the idea of like a trust, right? Of the League of Foundation. But does it matter whether it's legally a foundation or? Like, should it be a 501C, something else? Is not a 501C3 because that is a charitable contribution. Family foundation is self-serving. Okay. So do not. No, okay. I think that is… think I'm clear. So are we going to have, is you say foundation? I'm hearing the conversation here. Are we saying this is a foundation because we have gotten together and agreed to this or is this a legal entity that we're going to have? It's both. So we are going to have, there will be a legal end. We will have something to do. We don't think they go into it because that's how you have to control the money. You can't just put in… I understand that. I'm not, I'm not questioning that. I'm just asking clarification. Once we agreed to establish it, It will be established as a legal family. As a legal foundation, we will be able to give. Yeah, that's just a clarification point. Okay, okay. Once you get to that point. Yes, once we get to that point, yes. Good. Right now it's just trying to get off the ground. Yes. I've guess spent time all of them on Grand Garden. B. I like the idea. I think we, like you said, we talked about it last year and I think that there's some more work that we need to think about doing. The foundation is good. Um, There's no reason why any damage is on the struggle, but I also think there's a mindset that we all have to work on too. And the answer reunions are created, but I think also throughout the year, you know, to work more on this foundation idea because I don't know. who decided it in the beginning to go down or even, I don't remember. Well, we've been trying to put it together for a while. It's at least 2012.
Tony Cu Anderson (45:22): Because, you know, I had suggested that, you know, family, you know, when they're going to start off small. You have to create. to put the money in. You can have a sign, but you're right about the legal package. as divorce. The idea, I like the idea of the board where each family has a representation and, um, you know, when you go downstairs, things, you have your checking down, kids and having written down, you know, that's very important, the by laws or things like that as well as, you know, who can participate or not participate, you have to have a criteria, you know, so that there's not. So Gail, we are even that quiet.
Tony Cu Anderson (46:07): should be based off a credit score.
Tony Cu Anderson (46:11): credit scores and shampoo should not be overwhelmed. I mean, I have suggested that, yeah, I mean, you know… It'll be all right. It's gonna be all right. If y'all get people in the mindset, you know? You have 50 people contributing… And Gail, that's right. Now I remember.
Tony Cu Anderson (46:34): You have 50 people.
Tony Cu Anderson (46:36): You have $30,000. $30,000, $10,000, $10,000, $10,000 for a controversy fund or something. But we have to get people in that mindset of contributing, you know, to us, but also teaching the young people. You realize the reality in America, this hotel is owned.
Tony Cu Anderson (47:04): They come from a culture of mobilizing, contributing, and helping each other. I like the idea that when we have an animal reunion, we can have one in our hotel, maybe even a family. Right on. This is Allen City.
Tony Cu Anderson (47:22): We're already from the Allen Room. What are we putting them over? Sorry, I'll just do that. Right now, the issue with one person controlling a bank account with $60,000.
Tony Cu Anderson (47:35): No, never one person. But that's what this here. That's what this is. So that. He would legally have… Yeah, because we could be here probably till like one or 2 o'clock, but they have to be. Ooh, let's do that. They need to finish setting the table. And so she's waiting on us. So we can just wrap it up and do whatever we need to do. So all this is the outline to start moving if everybody is okay with the outline. Then going to the next phase of clarifying definition, clarifying next step.
Tony Cu Anderson (48:13): That's all this is, is to clarify next. Who's gonna be who's gonna organize? Because it sounds like it needs to be little minivities and like periodically just to get it. So it takes a lot to me. Put it together, so… It's your head. Can I? Can Tony interject something? Yeah, we've done this before. Yeah, can I, can I add, just, um, I love the idea of, like, this, like, convention of a whole thing. I know that back to the structure. question. Can we have at-large members? Or at least pass an… at large America, because there's certain thoughts. There are, within, like, yellow, as you were saying, but there within our family, there are, like, repositories of just really great institutional memory that must be included.
Tony Cu Anderson (49:00): And so if there was a lot of folk from, let's say, from the Lexington team, they should still be there because they have a lot of that repository now. If people can't be there, who has unofficial seat? So whoever is from that branch, they would just filter that information from them. So it's not that. that's I hear that. I'm not asking for surrogacy. I'm asking for agency. I'm asking for that they carry their own message. They send their message through someone. So you're saying maybe more than one person prompts a certain… That's right. Well, here's where you have when you have too many people of one leg on the board. You don't have equal representation. And that's all we're talking about. That's why we're saying, that's why we're calling it at-large. So the, the, the, the, everyone. No, no. That's why you have your committee. So the thing we do…
Tony Cu Anderson (49:57): So can we have tonight to have everyone to look over this? Yeah. And then we meet early in the morning. Yeah, to my side. Yeah. You know what? tonight. Oh, Saturday? Today's the day and Saturday. submitted to the family. Well, we don't know where to go from that. People need to look. Well, we need to look at it. Well, people who need to look at it, look at it tonight, come with… questions and thoughts. Questions, thoughts. Table it for the night. So the thing, the 4 of us were just getting together, putting some things down on paper, and moving forward. So those people who like the idea, how do you see you plan a role in this, have that, either by tonight, right at before dinner, um, or in the morning. Let's let's go for it in the morning. I don't want, I want, I want tonight to be fun. you know, do what we gonna do here. And then in the morning.
Tony Cu Anderson (50:59): So, is 9 or 10 o'clock for everybody. No, everybody's not here in Huntsville.
Tony Cu Anderson (51:07): So how about after dinner? We can talk about… after dinner. Whoever's around or something. But people got to leave early tomorrow.
Tony Cu Anderson (51:21): At 10 o'clock tomorrow, you can state your reason why you object to it. Everybody else, you approve it, you don't have to show up. So what are you gonna say, at 10 o'clock in the morning, where are we gonna meet? Out there. Yeah, out there, 'cause we won't have this.
Tony Cu Anderson (51:36): They're asking for a way to move forward. is when you have your meeting, your next meeting, you just put it in the check, let people know that you're meeting, and then they can have whatever account. Yeah, you could.
Tony Cu Anderson (51:47): Yeah, but okay, we can do a zoom. And that's what I was saying. over the same. So maybe it's every once a quarter or once a month until you get it going or whatever needs to be done to structure that so that we can get somewhere because it's just, it's just getting off the ground. And I get it, everybody has input and whatever and everybody's trying to figure it out. We have a lot of different things. So we need to establish that. Can I tell with something else that we can also work along with this so we're not lagging behind? If you all are working on the foundation, you start a check or whatever, we come in quarterly and review what I was going on, but also let Gail start with the fun contributions to set that up so we can be having money accumulating while we're waiting to get this off the ground. That's cool.
Tony Cu Anderson (52:33): We do have two different pockets of money, actually, out of the money, that's rolling over from one family union to the other now, which is a blessing. It's a good thing. But there was also some money that I honestly had forgotten when we started this concept years ago. And we put it in. And we put money in it and I forgot it was there for years and years because we weren't doing anything with it. And it rolls over. Like a 100,000 dollars? Yeah. Last, here we come. It wasn't even that, but the money's been sitting up for years. And I haven't forgotten that Carolyn was… You know, yeah, she consolidated. And Carolyn said, yes, Carolyn said, but that ain't nothing at all. And, you know, I'm not talking about a trust. I know what trust is.
Tony Cu Anderson (53:28): What's that? He's showing me chat, or Google job, and I, whatever. And yeah. And so, like, I don't even know until…
Tony Cu Anderson (53:38): But anyway, going forward, that's something to do, that that would be something that, like, the next reunion would need to know at the beginning. That would help with deposit and stuff like that. Yeah, no, but this was, yeah, so yeah, Carolyn did for it. I mean, Gail was in us horrible. We all would go to last.
Tony Cu Anderson (53:54): So we need to go ahead and resume here. I agree. I just don't want… Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me. Those of you on Sunday? I haven't started yet. Florida, a little bit. On Sunday, if you are going to stay over a little bit, there's one community church on 121. If you want to know that you were, I go, roommate. So do you want to go there? They have a couple of services, eight, 10, 12.
Tony Cu Anderson (54:26): Uh, yeah, and they have one on Saturday, but we won't do that, but there's three, a couple soaps. Do you wanna go?
Tony Cu Anderson (54:33): Well, maybe, yeah. Okay, I know the last family reunion, I said, I wanted to do a family directory, and for 2 purposes. One, so that everybody has an optimist of who's in the family, where they are. But also, the skills, knowledge and expertise that just family cats. I think that would be useful and helpful. So if somebody needed help or someone needed advice. We used to have one. Yeah, we used to have one, unfortunately, one spreadsheet. Okay. I see.
Tony Cu Anderson (55:05): Yeah, I used that. I'll give you my number, try to make it simple, 'cause I like the problem. I'll give you my number. It's 301. Oh, wait. Oh, wait. Can you see me? You checked me your name and your phone number, your email address? So you're saying you're happy, yes. We start putting out a directory together. We had one.
Tony Cu Anderson (55:33): She's assigned in shape tonight. Yeah. And they're back and write it down then. But we can do that. I do. We can do, we'll update a lot of people to update their information so we can turn it into the digital document or something. So… A foundations dot status strongly limits how self stirring it can be.
Tony Cu Anderson (55:57): Okay, so… In the morning, we'll meet… That was a wonderful team to meet regarding the foundation. Are you okay with that? What time? I mean… I mean, 10? Okay. How do you do? Just too early. 'Cause checkout is at 11.
Tony Cu Anderson (56:16): Yeah. So they will be in the area out there, but I mean, it does. And people are leaving, so yeah, you might want to get to the tax status of the foundation. Or two.
Tony Cu Anderson (56:30): They're disqualified persons. They're usually born members in their family. Which would be all about… I'm not going to a random job. Okay, my daughter will be at the same school. Oh, before we leave. Thank you. Yes, hey. Before we depart for today, It's been a very productive meeting. We have a lot of things that we still need to do, and that's fine. We don't want to continue on, but in spite of time, we'll meet in the morning. If we cannot be in the morning, if everybody could just link in into that group meet, and we'll just kind of send that beyond this weekend, and if it's communication as to, hey, we're going to be a Zoom meeting on this or, you know, because it seemed like for Facebook, I get lost. Like, I don't, if I'd missed the message, just stay down here. So as far as improvement, it's a lot of communication and you're able to see, okay, well, we're going to have we're going to meet here or whatever, just to get it off the ground. So refer to the group meeting for the next steps on building and getting the foundation going. Otherwise, we'll meet in the morning. okay with that?
