In 1987, the Sh--n Family Association was established as a non-profit organization.
The quarterly Newsletter is written by and for family members to stay in touch with each other through contributing new information, pictures, research, history and stories about the past and present.
Annual reunions have been the "heart" of our Association. They are held every year on the second weekend in July - (every fourth year we return to Mountain City, Tennessee, the original hometown of Leonard and Barbara Shoun). The Annual business meeting is held at each Reunion and every two years volunteer officers are elected by the membership attending the Reunion.
Membership is $10 a year per family to cover cost of the published Newsletters.
