Old e-mail I sent out with the info:

Hi Family,
We went up to the cabin that we were hoping to use for the reunion today. It is an old lds church that they renovated into a cabin. It was fun to look behind a door and find the baptismal font still there. They also have those big gold dividers dividing the two main family rooms and a huge red curtain still up that was probably used for the stage when there was a stage there. We are all getting excited for the reunion but I need a little help from all of you.

We decided that we need to have a deadline to know who will be planning to attend. We will basically be at a stand still on planning until we know exactly who is coming. I know this is hard to do so far in advance because schedules are always changing. Just think of it as if you are booking a cruise that you need to schedule time for only it will be with way cooler people, way better food, and some unbelievable cruise/cabin directors who will be planning fabulous activities!

Dates Planned: Arrive Thursday, July 9th and Leave either Saturday, July 11th or Sunday, July 12th. We realized when we were trying to think of activities that if we go Thursday thru Saturday that will only give us 1 full day together. We would love for everyone to go home on Sunday so we can have two full days together but we know that will be hard for some of you who live out of state to do.

Deadline for rsvp: February 1st (hopefully this will give you time to figure out your schedules.) The cabin is $200.00 per night for everyone so the more that come, the less it will cost per person. We will not be able to figure out the cost per person until February 1st when we have the total amount of people attending. Remember that food will need to be figured into the total cost per person.

The cabin has 11 bedrooms and there is also a really big room that was probably the relief society room that they now use as a dining room. We will be eating outside for all of our meals so we think we can make that big room into a bedroom. All first generation family members and Grandma will be given the bedrooms first, after that, we will just have to figure it out. Obviously with 89 members in our family, we will have to do a lot of doubling up in bedrooms and a lot of blow up mattresses. Please let me know if you have any mattresses that you can bring. When we stayed there with a lot of families in our ward, the kids ended up just all sleeping together in the huge family room that used to be the cultural hall.

We talked about having a movie night with a family slide show presentation. In order to make this happen I have created a photobucket account. Please look through your pictures when you have time, scan them into your computer and then put them on the photobucket account. Here is the link:http://photobucket.com/willisfamilypassword: willis
