Handlin Family Reunion 2007 Will Be Held July 26 - 29, 2007

Originally emailed to everyone on August 20, 2007

Hello All

Sean and I reviewed all of the feedback that you sent regarding family reunion timing and location. Thank you for the time and thought you put into your replies. After careful consideration, we have decided to host it at Bass Lake again next year.

While some of you suggested Pismo, Tahoe, or a cruise we selected Bass Lake for the following reasons:

At the hotel in Pismo there isn't a convenient meeting room at which the group can gather easily. I do not know the area around Pismo well enough to find a suitable alternative to the hotel we stayed in before. I looked on a Lake Tahoe vacation planning website but since I don't know the area it was hard for me to figure out a good location to rent homes for the reunion. There is plenty to do in Bass Lake and its relatively easy to get to. Also the cabins make it easy for the family to gather and socialize.

So, for 2007, the reunion will be at Bass Lake and I hope everyone will be able to come. If anyone in the group feels strongly about another location and is willing to plan the reunion in that location for 2008 please throw your hat in the ring at next years' reunion. http://www.basslake.com/index.html

Reunion 2007 will be held from Thursday July 26 - Sunday July 29, 2007. These dates were selected because:

The weekend of July 26 - 29, 2007 is the only weekend in July during which The Pines has 10 chalets as well as the handicapped suite (for Aunt Susie) available... I have specifically asked the Pines to reserve the handicapped suite as part of our block of rooms.

I am awaiting the contract from The Pines which I should receive sometime this week. Once that is signed I will send out another email reminding you to call and make your individual reservations to hold your cabins. As you know, each cabin is a duplex connected by a door so if there is another person/family with whom you would like your cabin connected please mention that when you make your reservation.

Please look over the email address list on this note and if you notice that I have inadvertently left anyone off the list please forward this to them and send me the missing email address. I don't want to leave anyone off the list!

Looking forward to seeing you all in 2007 if not before!

Love
Elizabeth & Jonathan
