The Ten-Fifty Corporation
The Ten-Fifty Corporation is a family recreation association organized Section 501(c)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The property in Lewistown, Montana was purchased in 1997 and is open to the descendants of Reverend and Mrs. Herbert M. Fry, Sr.
who meet the eligibility requirements specified in the By-Laws. The vision of the original 10 founding members is to have a place
for the family to gather, discover, and explore their kinship for generations to come.
The "Ten-Fifty" name comes from
our desire to acquire a family property to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1945 Fry family trek to Montana. Failing to accomplish
this task until two years past deadline, we modified the original concept to mark the 50th anniversary of completion of the "original ten"
with the birth of our youngest sibling, Sam, in 1947.
Significant improvements have been made to the property over the
years. These improvements include: roads, a water supply system, a septic system, a bathhouse (with restrooms, showers, laundry facilities,
and two modest apartments with kitchens), 8 RV sites with electricity and water hookups, a small playground, and three sleeping cabins
individually sponsored by three of the members.
The property has been used for Fry family reunion events, for small informal
gatherings of members and their guests, and as a Montana vacation destination. In addition, the Ten-Fifty is ideal for day trip outings
for hiking, picnicking, hunting, etc. The Ten-Fifty is debt-free and relies on its family membership to operate and maintain the beautiful
property.
The gift of this property to the Fry family is truly priceless. The Ten-Fifty property is available to eligible
family members who choose to become a participating member and pay the annual dues. Become a participating member so that your family and
future Fry descendants will enjoy the Ten-Fifty memories forever. Come visit this part of the world and you will experience some of the most
beautiful countryside that you can possibly imagine.
