This is always our top priority to host a reunion event every two years. There were approximately 300 attendees. Attendees are charged for the various hosted event and no revenue is generated. At various show sites, the Thunderbird Association provides lunch and/or dinner for the team or coordinates food donations from various local vendors. The Thunderbird Association publishes a quarterly newsletter called "Thunderrolls." This publication is transmitted electronically and is published by volunteers so the cost is minimal. 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 NV X X Michael Beale 8503482807 7587 Seabrook Lane Springfield VA 22153 X Corri Coy Executive Director 20 20 X X 24000 0 1217 Michael Beale Chairman 2 2 X 0 0 0 John Fitzgerald Vice Chairman 2 2 X 0 0 0 Tim Coy Secretary 2 2 X 0 0 0 Joseph Nicosia Treasurer 2 2 X 0 0 0 24000 0 1217 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 67018 0 67018 0 0 0 0 0 49985 0 0 49985 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 117003 0 0 49985 25217 1850 1665 1696 30428 0 0 0 92258 115332 329406 392907 421664 508239 0 0 X 421664 508239 0 0 0 0 421664 508239 421664 508239 86575 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 The Thunderbird Association consists of approximately 2840 current living members.
