Daniels Family Reunion
July 23rd-25th
Rock Springs 4-H Center
1168 Highway 157
Junction City KS 66441

We are so excited about the 2010 Reunion. It looks like we will have 72 people attending!!! Following is some final information to help plan your trip.

For those attending, I included your family's total cost on the next page (in the actual mailing only) so that you know what to expect. You can send these funds in now or give us a check at the reunion. Don’t forget that scholarships are available. Donations to the scholarship fund are also always appreciated. If you haven't already, please send in your family dues ASAP this will help with the deposit. If you would like to put any of this on a card through PayPal, contact Jeff about that.

Included are Health and Participation Forms, we need to have one filled out per person attending. Again, you can send these in now or when you arrive at the reunion. If you are not attending this year’s reunion then I did not include these.

For those who aren’t attending, it’s NEVER too late.

Plan to arrive after 6 p.m. on the 23rd. A cold supper will be available for your arrival. All meals on Saturday and Sunday are in the main dining hall; they are buffet style (all you can eat!!!!!). The last meal we have scheduled, and paid for, is Sunday lunch so plan to stay for lunch. Check out is 2:00 pm Sunday.

We have the Hansen Cottage and the Weatherwax Cottage to ourselves. They are fully air conditioned and similar to the building we had last year. All buildings have always been non-smoking (there are smoking areas outside). These cottages are near the creek and closer to the fishing than we were last year. So be sure to bring your fishing gear. Basketball, disc golf, and horseshoes is available as well. We are signed up for the Leadership team-building course, swimming, and canoeing, which were a blast last year. We will find out when we are scheduled for these activities upon our arrival.

The cost includes all meals, snacks, activities and two nights lodging per person; Adults - $120; Age 7 to 17 - $110 and age 6 & under - free. Again, it will be all-inclusive and per person for the entire weekend.

There is now a family directory available on the reunion blogspot, please check it and let us know if there are any corrections that need to be made. Also, added to the blog is detailed information about Rock Springs maps and the Health Forms. Finally, check back often for the latest updates and see who's attending!

Reunion Update!

WHO'S ATTENDING
We have heard from ALMOST everyone!!! And our numbers have gone UP!!! We now have 70 family members attending (see list below) including babies and 3 maybes. I am so excited that we will have one of the largest turn-outs of the second generation. We are only missing, Teresa, Debby, Diann & Donald! (not including outlaws and 3rd/4th generations) I wish they could all make it but... life happens even during family reunion weekends.  Sadly, Jay and Rachel's family aren't represented at all. We have heard from Rachel and she won't be able to make it. We have hit a dead end in trying to contact ANY of Jay's family. Any ideas??? We had an address and phone number for Diann. The reunion letter wasn't returned but the phone number is no longer in service.

ACTIVITIES
Please let us know which activities you would like to do. If you don't speak up we won't get it scheduled! *Additional costs: Horseback riding has an additional charge of $40 flat rate for the group. If you want to ride then we will just divide this cost among those who go riding. There is also a Trap Range and Rifle Range, each are charged per shot.

Scheduled Activities:
Archery, Canoeing, Swimming, Environmental and Historical Adventures, Team building/ Leadership Adventure Course, Horse Rides*, Trap Range* & Rifle Range*

Unscheduled Activities:
Basketball, Sand Volleyball, Softball, Disc Golf, and Horseshoes

Please let us know which activities you would like to do. We have already requested the Leadership Adventure Course (we did this last time and had a ball). We MUST know on the Scheduled Activites by May 30th or we won't get them. Knowing on the unscheduled activities will simply help us and Rock Springs plan the weekend better.

COSTS
For your planning purposes. Just a reminder. The cost for your weekend, not including extra activities:
Adults - $120 for the WHOLE weekend – ALL lodging and food is included
Youths - 6-18 yrs old - $110 for the WHOLE weekend – ALL lodging and food is included
Children - Under 6 yrs old – free
You can send these funds in now or give us a check at the reunion. Don’t forget that scholarships are available.  Remember, the cost is for the WHOLE weekend – ALL lodging and food is included.  Did I remember to tell you that EVERYTHING is included for the ONE price?  The WHOLE weekend, ALL lodging and food is included.

We will need to send in activity requests and a deposit on May 30th. So please send in your family dues ASAP which will help with the deposit. $40 per family and $20 per single.

RSVPs so Far!!!

We are getting so excited about this year's reunion!!
Jeff and I have been talking to many of you through email, phone calls and facebook!

Our initial numbers are 64 (including little ones) but we haven't heard from some that we are hoping will make it. I'm happy to say that there have only been a handful of "not attending".  The primary reasons are weddings, work schedules, moving or having babies.  Life happens.  If we haven't heard from you, let us know ASAP.  Remember, at this point a maybe is the same as a yes, we are looking for MAX numbers.

Finances are not allowed to be an excuse!!!  We have SCHOLARSHIP money available!!!  Please contact Jeff or I directly and you will be covered for the cost of the reunion, completely confidentially.  Just get there!

We do have a small list of people that we haven't been able to get a hold of.  We did send snail mail letters to Dick & Diann and Donald but have heard back.  We do not have current emails or phone numbers for any of them.  HELP!  Does any one know how to reach these family members???
Haven't reached!!!

Family Letter

Here is a copy of the "snail" mail letter that will be going out to the whole family this week. Yes, there are a handful of "non-technical" family members. So read it below AND look for it in your mailbox next week!

Hi Everyone :):):)

The Daniels' Family Reunion will be on the weekend of July 23rd - 25th, 2010.

Rock Springs 4-H Center
1168 Highway 157
Junction City KS 66441

We will have the Hansen Cottage and the Weatherwax Cottage to ourselves. They are fully air conditioned and similar to the building we had last year. This actually gives us more rooms to spread out and have more privacy and more facilities. All buildings have always been non-smoking (there are smoking areas outside). Accommodations will be for Friday and Saturday nights.

You should plan to arrive after 6 p.m. on the 23rd. A cold supper will be available for your arrival. All meals on Saturday and Sunday are in the main dining hall; they are buffet style (all you can eat!!!!!). The last meal we have scheduled, and paid for, is Sunday lunch so plan to stay for lunch.
These cottages are near the creek and closer to the fishing than we were last year. For the younger crowd, basketball, sand volleyball, softball, disc golf, and horseshoes is available as well. If we want, we can also have a horse trail ride for a minimal cost (less than $2.00 per person). Please go to the website, www.rocksprings.net , along the left-hand bar select "Activities" then check out the "Scheduled Activities", these activities we need to know interest beforehand, such as the horse trail ride. Or check out the activities on the enclosed brochure (see previous blog). We plan to sign up for the team-building course, which was a blast last year.
We have not received the paperwork yet for this contract so we do NOT know what this year’s cost will be. The cost for the last reunion, which included all meals, snacks, most activities and two nights lodging per person, was; Adults - $120; Age 6 to 17 - $110 and under age 6 - free
Again, it will be all-inclusive and per person for the weekend. We just do not know the exact amount yet however it should be very similar.
Speaking of cost…Family dues are due! We will need this in order to pay Rock Springs a deposit along with a tentative head count by November 1st. So start looking at your calendars and send in $40 per family and $20 per single for family dues. Payments can be made to Jeff by paypal, cash, or check. FYI our balance from the reunion fund from last year is $461. This and family dues will, of course, help lower everyone’s cost.
Finally, we included our latest spreadsheet of family information. Please update it with any corrections you may have. Thank you to those who have already sent corrections!
Looking forward to hearing from you and seeing many of you in July!
