Annual Meetings

---

The photo above features all of the county completers that were at the 2026 meeting.

Annual meetings have been held each summer since 1973. The only exception was the 2020 meeting - scheduled for Tulsa, Oklahoma - that was canceled due to Covid-19.  But we made up for that by meeting in Tulsa in 2025.

Annual meetings generally last about 2 hours. Do people drive across the country for a 2 hour meeting? Yes, we do!  We are Extra Milers!

Plan Ahead for Future Meetings

Most annual meetings are followed by a field trip to some interesting nearby geographical point. It may be a special county line, a state tri-point, or some other unique geographical place. Some field trips are structured, while others are more individual. The field trip after each meeting usually lasts about 2 hours.

The photo above is the 2026 field trip from the annual meeting in Ft. Wayne, Indiana to Defiance County, Ohio where we congratulated John Vaughn on completing all of the counties.
