Below is the information about lodging for the 2016 Sommerer Family Reunion. If you are looking for the rest of the information on the reunion, You can click here.
NOTE 1: In order to get an accurate count for meal planning, we are asking for reservations even if you do not need lodging. use the same form at the bottom of the page, just ignore the lodging parts.
NOTE 2: You may request a room in the Spitz Center from April 29 to May 6. Oldest family members will have first dibs on rooms in the Spitz Center, but they (or their designated representatives) have to send in a reservation. You can start making all other reservations on May 6, including reservations for the Spitz center for any rooms that are left after the older family members have theirs. All reservations should be in by May 26th.
NOTE 3: Some people worry about getting the same lodging as the year before. If you submit your lodging request anytime before May 13 for the same lodging as last year, your request will be given preference (unless it is for a room in the Spitz Center and all of the rooms are taken by people older than you).
Here are your lodging options:

Aunt Lolly says
Christina, Ralph and I would like the same room we had last year in the Spitz Center. I think it was rm.312. We will arrive on Thursday and stay Friday, and Saturday. Three nights total. Thank you. Aunt Lolly
Kathy Meisinger says
Hi Christina,
Your Aunt Marjorie will want the same handicapped room she had last year. I will be staying in the room with her. We would also like to have a “girl’s room” like we had last year, for Tracy and Leanne and a “boys room” for Loren, Tom and Drew, in the Spitz Center if possible. I’ll e-mail the rest of the details for meals and such.
Thanks for all you’ve done in organizing this year’s Family Reunion.
Kathy : )
Joni says
Christina, if a lower level room in the Spitz is still available, I’d like to request it for Dave and I to be shared with Mel and Doug. Mel’s kids will pitch a tent on an electric site. As far as my kids, Josh’s work schedule in North Dakota interferes again. Katie and Anthony plan on staying just Saturday night if they attend at all (either a tent or a bunkhouse) and Vince is a maybe for right now (working in Indiana this summer). Will fine tune all the numbers and meal counts as soon as we can. Just wanna claim lower level Spitz for 4 adults if we can. Thx so much!
Joni says
Oops! Forgot to state that arrival dates for Dave and I and Mels fam will be Friday and we will all head home Sunday. Will confirm arrival dates for my kids as soon as possible.
Katie says
Hi Christina,
Anthony, Vince and I will share a camp site with Mel’s kids so there will be 2 tents. The price will be the same as it would be with 1 camper plus 1 tent, correct? We would like camp site #5. Put Anthony, Vince and me down for Friday and Saturday nights. (But if we make it there on Friday, it will be late/after dinner.)
Christina Rowland says
Yes, that sounds fair to me.
Joni says
OK just chiming in here on our best estimates for meals for my family and Mel and Doug’s fam. Plan on 10 people for all meals on Saturday. Plan on 8 people for the Sunday early lunch. (Katie and Anthony need to leave very early Sunday for their niece’s baptism). Let us know if we can bring anything to help make this all happen.
Aunt Lolly says
Christina since no one is going to be at Heit’s Point on Thursday night. Will you please change Ralph and I’s reservation to Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights? We will eat at all meals Except on Friday night. Thank you for your trouble. Let me know if I can do anything.
debbie says
I am going on thursday night aunt lolly so all the food stuff for lunches will be there so dont pack any for ralph. May not have a pickle on sandwich but you will have a sandwich
Aunt Lolly says
Christina, I am sorry to bother you again,but Ralph and I will come down to Heit’s Point the nights of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Thank you for us being such a trouble
