Family Reunion '09

Greetings Family! It is time to start talking about the Whelchel Family Reunion in the summer of 2009. At last years family reunion the idea of going to Nauvoo next year was brought up and everyone who attended the reunion said they would be willing to travel to distance to go to Nauvoo. I am now asking if the opinion is the same. I have found some very nice condo's in Nauvoo that would be an excellent place for our next reunion. Please leave a comment or email me about whether or not you are in for Nauvoo in 2009. Here is the catch... if you say you are not willing to go to Nauvoo in 2009 you have to then tell me a realistic alternate destination (that means no hawaii, australia, etc...). As is the Whelchel policy we hope everyone will attend but we will go with who we got and with a family this big we can't please everyone. Also up for debate is the week of preference. It typically has been either the last week in July or the first week in August depending on school schedules. So please as soon as you read this, leave a comment and/or email me your likelihood of going to Nauvoo. I'm also sending this letter in email form for those that don't check the blog that often, although, if they don't check the blog they probably don't check there email, so if you know someone who falls into this category please call them and let them know the plan! Thanks!

P.S. I apologize in advance for those of you that will not receive this in email form because I don't have your right email address. Please do not yell at me, a simple email or phone call will do.

Hi Stef,

I am pretty sure Jennifer and I are in for the Reunion. I don't think we have a preference on which week it would be but i'll get back to you if that is not correct. Thanks for looking into the condo's.

Stefanie, what a well written post! We are interested, will come, and either week is great for us. Thanks so much!

So far we have Layne, Rebecca, and Leslee all a go for Nauvoo. We also have the last week of July as the preference.

Layne's right. We are in, just tell us when, where, and what you want us to do.
Jen!

Time and place works for us, too. I told Stefanie that dad and I would use our credit card to book the reservation, but we will need an initial payment from everyone, when we know what it is, to cover the payment. Thanks for your reponse! This is going to be a great family reunion!

We won't be coming, for quite some time now we have planned to go back to Taiwan that year. At least James and I are going not sure who else is joining us at this exact moment. We will miss you all and wish you a wonderful time. We will all have to share our experiences so we can live vicariously through each others trips.

Stefley said...

We will miss you guys, tracy but that will be quite the exciting trip!! What a fabulous experience you will have!!

It sounds really fun. I will tell my parents to get on the blog. They don't come on often because their users don't work. I'll at least make them look at this post.
