General FAQs

  • Membership dues are $120
    per year ($10/month) per
    adult family member to help
    ensure we can continue
    having well-organized
    reunions without putting
    financial strain on a few
    individuals planning and
    hosting the reunion.

What are membership
dues?


  • Over the years, host families
    have taken on significant out-
    of-pocket costs for planning,
    materials, deposits, and other
    expenses. Dues will help
    ensure that no single family
    bears the financial burden
    alone and that we can
    continue organizing
    memorable, well-planned
    reunions for everyone.

Why do we have to pay
membership dues?

  • No. Membership dues apply
    only to adult Gillespie family
    members. Spouses and
    children are not required to
    pay.
