Below is general information for the 2013 Sommerer Family Reunion. If you are looking for the rest of the information on the reunion, You can click here.
We hope that you will be able to join us for all or part of the weekend: Friday, June 28 through Sunday, June 30.
If you have questions after reading this post, please feel free to call Christina at 636.485.1369, email her at cmrowland22772@yahoo.com or post your question below.
1.) Heit’s Point is hosting camps during the weeks before our reunion. This means that there will not be lodging available on Thursday evening, June 27 (campsites are still available, but the pavilion will be in use). It also means that rooms will not be available for check-in until Friday afternoon around 3:00 pm. There is also a mini camp scheduled for the following week from June 30 – July 3rd so we will need everyone’s help to make sure the pavillion is clean and ready for the campers. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.
2.) All reservations should be made through Christina unless you want to stay in a camp facility that is not part of our reserved Sommerer lodging below (i.e. cabins).
3.) All reservations should be made as soon as possible and no later than Thursday, May 30. On the Lodging Information post is a registration form to assist you in this process. You will need to have: arrival date, desired lodging location, number of nights staying, number of people staying, and number of people to include for group meals.
4.) Payment is not necessary until the reunion weekend, at which time you will receive a “bill” from Christina. Please wait until you have received this bill before paying Heit’s Point. They will not have the necessary information to take your payment without this “bill”.
5.) As in years past, there is a 6% “replacement fee” added to the cost of each reservation. We will figure this into your bills once you have made reservations. (This is a fee to replace items as they wear out on the premises)
6.) There will be a free-will offering to cover the costs of group breakfasts on Saturday & Sunday, the meat on Saturday evening, and the Ascension House/group use fees of $150. (Ascension house = pavilion)
7.) Group Picture: Plan to smile for the camera on Saturday evening following our meal and before the Sommerer Summer Classic (that’s our annual softball game.) Remember to bring your smile and your glove!
8.)This letter is not being sent out via postal service. If you have someone in your family group who needs this information and does not have access to email or the Sommerer Family website, please contact them and assist them with this process OR contact Christina so that we can give them a call. Thanks.
9.) There will probably be a sign up sheet for another talent show on Saturday night, so think about a cool talent you can share so we don’t have to listen to Jim rant for 10 minutes again!
Where is the rest of the information about the reunion?
***Below are frequently asked questions (and a few answers) for the 2013 Sommerer Family Reunion. If you are looking for the rest of the information on the reunion, You can click here.
What happened to Saturday Breakfast?
*** It was decided at the meeting after church last year that we would be having breakfast at the pavilion on Saturday morning. The young adults in the family will be organizing this meal but they will need some help preparing it on Saturday morning, so everyone is encouraged to be up at the pavilion at 7am Saturday morning to have fun cooking together!
What should I wear for the family picture?
***OK, the family picture last year turned out pretty cool! We will be using the same colored t-shirts again this year, so dust off your shirts!

Did you get my reservation information?
***Check the lodging page first. Your name should be after the room you want if it was reserved for you. If you do not see your name on a room within 24 hours, I probably did not get it and you should contact me again at either 636.485.1369 or cmrowland22772@yahoo.com or leave a comment on the lodging page.
Can I book a room Thursday night?
***There is a regular camp the week before our reunion which does not end until Friday mid/morning or noon. Therefore, none of the rooms in the Spitz Center or the Bunk Houses will be available until that afternoon. If you are tenting or bringing an RV or Camper, you can make reservations for Thursday evening, but be aware that the regular camp uses the pavilion, so that will also not be available until Friday afternoon.
What time can I check in on Friday?
***You can show up any time on Friday, but you can’t check into your room until around 3:00 pm
What time do I need to check out on Sunday?
***Check out on Sunday is at 11 am? Be sure to get your bill from Christina before you check out.
What should I do with all the pictures I took at the family reunion?
***Upload your pictures to www.flickr.com and “tag” them with “sommererfamilywebsite” to have them pull into the family website home page. Or you can email them to my brother and he may post them on the family website : Lloyd@LloydAndLauren.com or you can e-mail them to me and I may include them in my 2013 scrap book: cmrowland22772@yahoo.com
