# Derrick and Barbara may stop by and visit Saturday afternoon. No meals. No housing.

Aaron Sommerer says
Aaron Sommerer will be tenting(just one tent).
I might be down Thursday depending on when I work but other than that I will be there Friday-Sunday morning.
One person for Saturday breakfast-Sunday’s
Rachel S. says
Sam/Rachel (& Kids) We will be there late Friday and leave on Sunday – so staying two nights. We would like to reserve Mark of Gospel Hostel. (If not available, one of the other Gospel rooms would be ok.) There will be at least 4 of us in there – one under 14. (If Lloyd and Lauren join us as is custom, then 6; if Brad joins us there would be 7.) As far as meals go. There will definitely be 4 of us to eat Saturday breakfast, Saturday Noon, Saturday Evening, and Sunday breakfast.
Lloyd Jr. says
We will be joining them, for the eating and for the lodging, as is custom.
Doug and Melissa says
If available put us down for either Room 200 or 202 in the Spitz–we don’t care what room number but prefer that lower level. We will arrive Friday evening and leave Sunday.
There are 4 over 15 and one under 15. If the Spitz is not available, put us down for a tent site. Thanks. Five of us total for meals as of now. This is all tentative as Joseph is in Fort Worth this summer and my family reunion is this same weekend. Either way, some of us will for sure be at Heit’s Point.
Joni says
As it stands, Dave and Joni and all grown kids via North Dakota, Indiana and St Louis, will be absent from Heits Point this year. Just letting you know. I will also message Debbie and Becky on fb so someone else can bring our dock picnic items. I’d hate to be the one person assigned to bring all the bread because if so, those will be some messy sandwiches. Love and miss you all – Dave and Joni
Debbie Hauser says
You are fine we got it covered. Thanks for letting us know. Very sad. You will be missed.
Christina Rowland says
Debbie, what are your plans?
Steve Sommerer says
Christina, Thanks for the complete and hysterical info. Great job. Steve, Melanie, Daniel, 9, Ezra 7, Micah 5 would like to come Friday afternoon and leave on Sunday and stay in room 202 or 206 if they are available, but teh boys are small enough to pile into a sofa bed if the 6 person rooms aren’t. We’ll eat all teh meals beginning Friday evening. Love you, Steve and Melanie
Christina Rowland says
Thank you.
Lloyd's Aunt Lolly says
Christina, Uncle Ralph and I will arrive on Friday and leave on Sunday. We will eat all meals on Sat.and breakfast on Sunday. Room 312 is great. Thank you. If you would like me to bring anything for Sat. noon meal, let me know.
Christina Rowland says
Thank You.
