2009 Family Reunion

Fitness Ridge is building a new housing building that will allow us to accomodate up to 80 guests so it will be hard for us to reserve the entire facility however, we are also building 15 condos that will be beautiful. I have always wanted to do a few family weeks in the summer for kids to come with their parents to learn the importance of exercise and healthy eating so we have decided to do a family week the first week of August. This will make it easy for us to have a reunion at the same time because there will already be kids on the facility. We can rent out the 15 condos-which will be a lot less expensive than renting out the entire facility (which we should be able to do in trade with Barry and Richards help and anyone else) I am very excited because we will also have another large gym with a basketball court and a stadium seating lecture hall for movies. We will be able to plan a lot of fun hikes, and activities. We should be able to accomodate everyone very easily with the 15 condos. there will be some two bedroom condos and some one bedroom. All of the condos will be about 1000 sq ft. It would be fun to have everyone plan to come for the whole week. Again it will be the first week of august 2009. I would love to start to get commitments from people so we can start planning-it will come faster than we think. I would also love to have someone be incharge of putting a commitee together and organinzing the week-obviously I will be able to help give ideas of what would be possible to do but there will need to be a lot of different assignments made. I am not quite sure if we will just eat meals at the spa or prepare and assign our own-some things will not be able to be planned now but getting a count of who will be coming will be the first step so please leave your comments. Erin maybe you can email this post to everyone and they can email me or you back or just let them know to check out the blog and leave a comment.Thanks-Michelle

This sounds great Michelle!! One thing that might work - it has for my other family reunions - is to get a representative from each family working together. That way email/correspondence is done first through the reps - then they are responsible to pass it on and get feedback from the rest of their families. It makes for a lot less work for you (the person in charge). Then you could delegate stuff to the reps, and then get the help of their family to plan certain events/activities. Amberly also has some great ideas from reunions with her in-laws as well. I will copy and paste this to the emails I have, I'm afraid that some are probably not current...but we could just get out the info. Then you could collect responses from that. Let me know what i can do - aren't you about ready to have that baby?
