For the Grinnell Family Association, like most organizations, it's not all fun and games. We have to conduct business at our annual reunion. We are currently in the process of rewriting our constitution and bylaws, among other things, a result of the tragic embezzlement of our treasury (nearly $12,000) by a former president/treasurer several years ago.

At some future time, we hope to be able to publish the proposed and eventual approved bylaws on this page. Watch this space for further details as they become available.

Prior to each GFA Reunion, the GFA president sends a letter to each member of the board of directors, outlining the proposed agenda. As this meeting is open to all GFA members, the agenda is hereby posted on this website.
