First order of business: We need a little more information about your plans for the 4th of July weekend before we can setup meals and schedules and such. So before you read any further, click this link and fill out this short survey.
Christina has been hard at work getting the information together for the 2016 reunion. We will continue to work so that the oldest members of the family can have rooms in the Spitz Center if they want 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 May 6 (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 6.
As far as other lodging goes, we will make every attempt to get you into the lodging you had last year (if you want). In fact, if you get your reservation in by May 13, we will make sure of it (unless it is a room in the Spitz Center taken by an old codger). 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 April 30 for the Spitz Center and May 6 for everywhere else.
- 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 are a little up in the air about meals and the schedule. Once you complete the survey, we will know what to do. You can read about the times for other activities on the Schedule page.
- You can 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 2016 reunion.
Thank you for getting the website going again, Lloyd. To whoever is taking our reservations, Naomi will be in Greece May 16 to June 1, so if possible, I would like to put in my reservation now for a room in Spitz for Louie and me for the night of Saturday, July 2. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get on the website from Greece. I would appreciate it I could submit this reservation now.
Last night I saw a notice that the new baby was born, I didn’t copy it and now I can’t find it , help! I need to copy it.
Aunt Cleo, are you staying the night at Heit’s Point?
Please ignore my previous comment on room reservation. Here is what I would like, please. A room in Spitz for Louie and me for the nights of July 1, July 2 and July 3 (three nights total). For Tracy Vetter and family and Tiffany I would like either Matthew, Mark, Luke or John in the Gospel house for July 1 and July 2.
Just clicked on the “meal page” link above and it goes to 2015 info. Somewhere I read that group breakfasts are planned just for Saturday and Monday this year. Is that correct? (Wondering specifically about Sunday.) Thanks for putting up with all of us. 🙂
Hello everybody! In honor of brother/uncle/grandpa/great-/great-great uncle Vernon’s 90th birthday next October, we’re going to have a memory/wish jar at the reunion for everyone to add to.
Think of times spent- and conversations with Vernon and jot them individually on slips of paper. You know how he loves the written word!! Nothing will please him more! Keep tucking them in the underwear pouch of your suitcase as you think of more and bring them to Heits.
See you at Heits with hugs!
Cuz’ Mary Jane
Does anyone in the family have experience of having arthroscopic surgery on their knees concerning meniscus repair, and stages of recuperation time? Its out patient surgery, and I’m still concerned if I will be up to coming to Heits Point, maybe on crutches, two weeks later. I’m told they just make two little incisions to go in and look around and trim the meniscus and some of the arthritic stuff. Can’t get a straight answer from the Dr. Can’t put it off, as I want to be in half way decent shape for the wedding we have in August 8 weeks later.
Naomi is in Germany right now, maybe she can help you when she gets home next week.
Had it done on a Thursday went home that night and back to work on Monday. A PIECE OF CAKE OR BETTER KNOWN AS A WALK IN THE PARK. Good luck.
