2015 Reunion Information (Family Reunion Friday)

Christina has been hard at work getting the information together for the 2015 reunion. And we have one big change to announce. Each year it seems like there are more people who would like a room in the Spitz Center than there are rooms in the Spitz Center. We spent a lot of time trying to think of a fair way to divide the rooms, and then we decided that we really didn’t want to be fair. We really want to make sure that the oldest members of the family were the ones who could get rooms in the Spitz Center if they wanted them.

Older members of the family, you can have whoever you want stay with you in your room. Naturally, that means that The Twelve get first pick of the rooms (with the exception that Cousin Johnny is actually older than my dad). And after that, cousins from oldest to youngest. Because there’s a chance that not everyone who wants a room in the Spitz Center will get one, We would like to know who would like a room in the Spitz Center by April 30 (you have a week to decide). Then we will sort the requests by age and if anyone who wanted a room in the Spitz Center didn’t get one, they can specify a different lodging option when everyone else does on May 1st.

As far as other lodging goes, we will make every attempt to get you into the lodging you had last year (if you want). The only exception to that might be when you have just a couple of people and request lodging that will sleep 18. Space is getting just a little too tight for us to always be able to do that.

Other things to note:

• On the reservation page, we’re once again asking for information from people who are coming to the reunion, but not staying at Heit’s Point, so that we can get a more accurate head count for meals. You can make reservations starting May 1st.
• The meal page has been expanded with additional information.
• The old general information page and the frequently asked questions page have been combined into a new and improved General Information page.
• Also worth noting is that we will keep the church service at 11:00am. We will clean the pavilion after breakfast and check-out in the Spitz Center before church. You can read about the times for other activities on the Schedule page.
• You can always get to the Family Reunion Information from the pictures on the right or from the “Get Togethers” menu above.

As always, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions you can use the comment area at the bottom of any of these pages to make your feelings known. If you’re interested, you might want to take a look at the planning post for the 2015 reunion.
