Rachel

This is the first portion of the information for the annual Sommerer Family Reunion.  We hope that you will be able to join us for all or part of the weekend: Friday, July 1^st through Sunday, July 3^rd. If you have questions after reading this post, please feel free to call Sam & Rachel at (636) 724-1487 or post your question below.

1.) Heit’s Point is hosting camps during the weeks before and after our reunion.  This means that there will not be lodging available on Thursday evening, June 30^th (campsites are still available).  It also means that rooms will not be available for check-in until Friday afternoon around 3:00 pm, and need to be available for cleaning by noon on Sunday.  Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.

2.) 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.

3.) All reservations should be made through us Sam & Rachel unless you want to stay in a camp facility that is not part of our reserved  Sommerer lodging below.

4.) All reservations should be made as soon as possible and no later than Friday, June 3^rd.  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.

5.) Payment is not necessary until the reunion weekend, at which time you will receive a “bill” from us.  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”.

6.) There will be a free-will offering to cover the costs of group breakfasts and the meat on Saturday evening.

Update #1: New information just came in and Rachel wanted to pass it along.  If anyone would like to extend their stay at Heit’s Point past the weekend, all of our spots are available on Sunday night and into the following week.  This includes all locations: Spitz Center, Gospel House, Lodge, campsites, and Ascention House (pavillion) Rachel would be happy to help arrange this, just let her know when you make your reservations.

Feel free to post any question or comments below. Then check out the meal information and lodging information.
