Greetings to all!! Payments are coming in nicely and I thank you for that! For those of you who still have not paid, please get them to me ASAP. Our count is approx 100 and of course at this point the cost will remian the same. I will be making the final payment for the housing this next week! IF you are unsure of your balance, let me know..

I will be posting directions soon...

We should have word on the T-Shirts this week as well..

Some notes about what to bring and what is provided..

Towels and Linens are provided for each house
Each cabin has a starter kit for paper towels, toilet paper and dish soap, you may want to bring extra, along with your own beach towels for the pool and laundry detergent if you need to do laundry..
Each house has at least one hot tub..
Each house has a ourside grill too!
I do think the porches with the rocking chairs will be great, and a great place for launching water balloons, BYOB - Booze and balloons..for those consuming alcoholic beverages, we are in a dry county - buy before you get there..

If there is any interest in renting golf carts for getting around on the grounds, I will be negotiating a deal later this next week. IF you rent them, you rent them on your own and will be totally responsible for them..It's a ways down to the clubhouse, but there is a large parking lot there as well.

Bring your State Flag from the last reunion and fly it proudly from your porches!!

The following meals will be provided..
Breakfast and Dinner for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
Breakfast on Thursday - Check out day (by noon) July 1st...
Lunch you are on your own, each house has a full kitchen...

We MAY have enough to do Pizza at check in Sunday evening - Check in is at 400 p.mm. on the 27th of June at the clubhouse. I will let you all know ASAP

Your housing assigment will be given out at that time..
We will also have sign up's for the Talent Show, Scrabble Tourney and Euchre Tourney. We have the use of the clubhouse for the entire week.
The grounds have a huge front yard for Volley Ball, Softball, Races, whatever we choose to do, right next to the indoor pool, outdoor pool and mini putt.

King Family Reunion 2010 (6)

Greetings to all - 2010 is off and running! I hope this finds you all well and looking forward to the Reunion that is right around the corner! We have one family that has paid in full!

We have a few volunteers already!!
Christy King - T-Shirts
Beth King-Little - Talent Show
Eddie - Golf Outing...

I would like to thank those who have been making payments and at this stage of the game, I think we need some commitments.
IF you are planning on coming to the 2010 Reunion and you have not made any deposits, please make a deposit ASAP.
IF you are NOT planning on coming to the 2010 Reunion, please let me know ASAP.

As it stands right now, there are 7 families that have not made deposits.. The total from those 7 families accounts for 30 people.. IF those 30 dont make it, the cost will rise for those who are. (Just stating the facts, folks, no pressure, we just need to know...)

Understanding that peoples lives / plans change, we need to get a better count ASAP. Let me know when you can...

the link below is for the countdown to when ALL monies are due..

Adults - $72 / per day
0-5 $10 / per day
6-17 $42 / per day

King Family Reunion 2010 (5)

I hope this finds you all well. I am short several deposits and rather than posting who did not submit a deposit, I thougth I would post who did. :-)
I have already submitted one payment of $1440 and had enough to cover that, but they want a payment each month to continue to gaurantee the houses we have selected.
IF we get everyone committed as previously communicated, here is what the pricing will be:

Adults - $72 / per day
0-5 $10 / per day
6-17 $42 / per day

Basically, if you pay approx $25 per month, per person, for the next 10 months, you will be paid in full 60 days before the reunion. (I have a excel spreadsheet going to keep track and will let you know where you stand before you overpay!)
This rate COULD go up if we dont get the participation we expeceted, Approx 110 people..Remember this covers two meals per day, breakfast and dinner plus lodging from Sunday through Wednesday Night and is only slightly more than the 2006 reunion costs.

For the record, I have rec'd deposits (a few have made additional payments)with the number of people committed below for a total of 62 people out of the 110 we need to hold that price:
Bill King (2)
Lew King (5)
Chuck King (6)
Adam King (5)
Dorothy Weatherbee (2)
Todd Weatherbee (2)
Gary and Berta (2)
Bruce and Kay Scott (4)
David King (3)
Scott King (2)
Paul and Allison Dew (2)
Jenny and Jose Decastro (3)
Fran Dew (1)
Bonnie & Don Roberts (2)
Rob & Helen King (2)
Rob & Christy King (3)
Eddie & Jennifer King (2)
Ron & Diana King (2)
Christine & Geoffrey Scobel (4)
Tom & Beka Esch (2)
Patti Albertson (1)
Jinx (1)
Casey & Amy (4)

Please send deposit ASAP and for those who have already paid, addtional payments are always accepted..

King Family Reunion 2010 (4)

I hope this all finds you well! I have not been able to keep up as normal (on face book anyway and not much personal email either) due to work situation, but I thought is was time for another posting. The Deposit Checks are coming in and for those of you who wrote them as early as May 7th, I will be depositing them this week, I promise! For those of you who would like to pay via PAY PAL, I have put my Pay Pal email address below.

PLEASE NOTE - I am set up to accept Bank Transfers only! NO CREDIT CARD Payments will be accepted.

I would like to get all interested parties to have their respective deposits in PRIOR TO JULY 4th, 2009. This way we can get the overall cost nailed down and determine your final cost. Once we have that I will set up a payment plan so that we are all paid in full 60 days before the reunion.. then we all have nothing to worry about when we get there except having a blast!
