When we attempted to reserve rooms for the planned family reunion in 2011, very much to our surprise, there were very few rooms available. Alternate locations have been considered, but it was feared moving the reunion location could cause hardship to too many. Our only choice is to push it out one year, to June of 2012. We've already set aside 40 rooms, so there should be plenty of availability for anyone wanting to stay at the lodge (details, below). We've also reserved the family/conference room for both Friday and Saturday (6/29 and 6/30), and the family pavilion at the lake for all day Saturday (6/30).
We were all looking forward to getting together next summer, and I know many will be disappointed in the delay to 2012. It was our understanding that rooms could be reserved no more than a year in advance - which is correct, for individuals. However, for groups, the lodge begins taking reservations two years in advance. When we began contacting them in May, there were less than ten rooms remaining available for any summer month in 2011. We hope the additional year will only provide more opportunity for planning fun activities, and for everyone to save up for the travel.
In the near future, we’ll be sending out additional info with planned activities for the reunion. We may do some polls to get opinions on various activities and dinners, so there would be opportunity for input and suggestions. Also, we will continue to collect contact info, so please provide any email addresses that should be added.
