Reunion So Far

Here are the basics regarding the reunion plans as we have them so far.  As I said before, an itinerary is forthcoming, I just wanted to list the basics while I wait for my husband to help me get the Itinerary posted on here from Microsoft Word.

First of all, I know some people are wanting to get a hotel or motel room, and that is fine, and that can be up to each family.  You can also try to all get rooms at the same motel (which may in turn give us another gathering place if it is like a Holiday Inn type of place).  Either way, hotels have not, and will not be planned in general and it will be left to those wanting a hotel room to do for themselves.

Those of you who would rather tent camp, or use a camper trailer or RV, you can do so.  I have reserved 6 campsites at Lee's Creek Campground that all join together edge to edge and they all have full hookups, including Wi-Fi access.  There is also access to full bathrooms with flushing toilets and showers.  If your particular family group is going to take up a whole campsite, please let me know because I will ask you to please cover the full cost of that campsite, which will be $28 per night plus hookup usage.  Mostly I figured we would just mark all of the sites as ours and people will just choose wherever they want to camp within those boundaries.  Either way should work.

As far as meals, for some of them we will be gathered together as the whole large family group, and for those meals we will probably have a central meal and just ask for each family to contribute what is fair for their size of family.   We discussed potluck, but a lot of us won't have access to cook in the places they are staying.  If you would like to potluck, we can revisit that option.  I think a good way to deal with this is to go to Costco and just get enough for everyone, take the cost of the meal and divide that to the per person cost and each individual family can take the per person cost and multiply that by the number in their party.  Beyond the large gathered meals (about 3 or 4 of them all week), meals will be left to you to do as you wish.  You may join another subgroup if you wish or just get your own stuff for you and your immediate family.

Activities are still to be planned.  Depending on answers I get from the poll on the upper right side of the column, I will be working with others to decide what our options are while we are all together.  PLEASE GIVE YOUR INPUT IN THE POLL SO YOU HAVE A CHANCE AT WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO.   Discuss with your immediate families what you want to do and then respond to me by April 1st so we can get some people to help plan individual activities.

That's about it for now.  Hope this update helps, and if you have questions or comments, please post them here in the comments section.
