November is upon us!!

Hello Family!
It's been a little while and it's time for a little reminder
that NOVEMBER 30 is the deadline for your room payment.  
If it's a hardship, please call me and we can see about
doing payments over a 3 month period.
If I don't hear from you by Nov. 30 - I will need to make your room available to others. 
The main thing is to just communicate with me.  :)  
And a big THANK YOU to those who have already sent payment!


Last month we made a visit to the lodge and I took more pictures.  For the most part, I was happy with what we found.  The downsides are the kitchen and dining areas are small, along with the main gathering room.  The yard is also rather small, but still big enough for our purposes.   
I still think it will work.




Here's a list of rooms and amounts owed (this is amt for all 3 nights):
                      Room 1              Craig Tyler               $175.00            PAID
Room 2               Jim Sanders               $175.00
Room 3              Steve Tyler                 $175.00
Room 4              Joyce McCown          $175.00
Room 5              AVAILABLE             $175.00
Room 6              Karen Sanders            $175.00
Room 7               Emily Wentz              $190.00
                     Room 8              Camille Graff             $190.00            PAID
                     Room 9              Stone Family              $210.00            PAID
   Room 10            Kristina Pettyjohn      $195.00            PAID                       
Camping -  tents or RV    $25 per night
(There is only room for 2-3 RV's no hook-ups - please call me first)

THANKS!

 We will be sending out invoices in the next 24 hours which will 
give you the option of paying with credit card, bank transfer or check.

2016 Family Reunion Rates and Rooms

Hey!  Is everyone excited for this??  I sure am!

There's a ton of info in this post so read to the end!


Here is a list of the rooms and suites.  I have listed the $$ for a 3 night stay.  In order to cover the costs of the lodge, we need to have each room rented for all 3 nights.  If, between you, you’d like to split days on a room with someone else, you’ll have to work that out among yourselves.  If you want to speak for a room, I will hold that room for a few months.  (A CHECK MADE OUT AND SENT TO PATRICIA STONE FOR THE AMOUNT OF THE ROOM RESERVATION WILL SECURE THAT ROOM.) I can also create a waiting list.
I have not personally seen the rooms, but will be making a trip up there in October,  as soon as they have a break in guests.  I honestly don’t know how these rooms correspond to the pictures posted here.  I will take my own pics when I visit. Kids are welcome to sleep on the floor in their parents rooms if there is space.  There are a 4-5 twin fold-aways and a queen air mattress available.
SHEETS, BLANKETS, PILLOWS, AND TOWELS ARE PROVIDED.

RV's and Tents
**There is room for 2-3 RV’s (no hookups) to park in parking area.  Please check with me before bringing your RV so that we don't get too many.
The grass area also has room for a few tents if someone wants that  “camping” experience!
Temperatures in June range around the low 50’s at night to the low 80’s in the day. 
There are campgrounds a few miles away, without showers and flush toilets.
**RV or tent camping will be $25 per RV or tent per night.

Staying elsewhere
**For those who will be staying elsewhere and just joining us for the daytime, there will be reunion cost of $5 per person per day up to $20/day per family.  Again, this just helps cover costs of the facilities that we will all be using.

Meals!! 
 This is 2nd most important thing most of us are looking forward to!!  LOL!   We will do family assignments similar to that done in the past.  Get out your recipes and plan something yummy!  We might just have a cook-off/contest one night!  I’ll post assignments after I get an idea of who is coming.

Auction!
  This is always so much fun and Yes!, we will be doing this again!  Get your stuff ready.  All proceeds to be donated to the Tyler Reunion Fund for our next reunion. 
Doesn't this look like a great place to gather??
