HERE'S TO A GREAT WFR2009!

Just some pics fromt he SUPER HEARTS game that the men folk enjoyed at the WFR 2009! Uncle Joe won bragging rights on the first game and Wray won the bragging rights to the second game. There were quieter games going on at the other tables.... They got pretty loud!

Just a thanks for everyone who came and participated at our WFR 2009! Thanks to all your efforts and sacrifices in making the trip out to Colorado, we really enjoyed renewing our friendships and family ties with each other.

The hotel was great, the breakfast was greater, and the company was the greatest!

Uncle Bob's silly string was fun too.... I guess :)

HOTEL RESERVATIONS!!!!

Did this get your attention??!!??

OK, family! Here it is! You need to do this quick, like this month! The absolute cut off to make these reservations is June 29th. You have until then to make up your minds if you want to come and have 110% of fun and 0% of sleep (because you'll be having too much fun!)

CALL THE HOTEL DIRECT: 303/824-1550. Identify yourselves as being with the WALKER FAMILY REUNION to get the special convention rate. Our contact person is Parks Bedell (old) or Brittany (NEW) if there are any questions. THEN, email me (motherofgirls3@msn.com) so I can get an accurate count and to see who still needs to call.

Couple of things:
Any cancellations after the reservations have been made, needs to be done with a 48 hour notice to avoid any charges on the CC. Otherwise our anonymous donor will be charged for an empty room... not good.

When calling, let them know about any special needs you may have for your family (crib, roll aways, handicapped, etc...) The hotel is a 100% non-smoking hotel. Each room comes with a microwave, little fridge, coffee maker (I mean cocoa maker), iron/board, TV....

The Anonymous donor wants to make it clear that they will NOT pay for room service, pay-per-view movies, games on the TV, long distance, anything extra.

This will be super fun! And on a sad note.... the Rockies will be playing out of town during our reunion. Sorry!

WFR NEWS!!!

Hey Family!

Boy have I got news for you! Lots has changed since my last update on this bolg.

THE DATES ARE THE SAME! JULY 16, 17, 18, 19.....


1. The hotel (Wingate) totally fell thru; long story, we've learned a few things and actually feel really good we aren't going there.

2. We have a new hotel that we are in the negotiation stages with. It's the Garden Hilton hotel and Holly and I really feel good about holding our reunion there.

3. There will be a website that the Hilton will build for us, you will need to check in and give your name (I don't know what other info you'll need, but I'll let you know)

4. The Hilton will gaurantee the room rate 3 days before or after if anyone wants to stay a little longer. Right now the rate is $69.99 a night and We are in negotiations with adding the FANTASTIC breakfast into the price of the room. I will let you know how much when all is said and signed.

5. Did I mention the FANTASTIC breakfast? They have a full-service kitchen and staff ready to cook us up some omelets, bacon, and whatever else we want. Holly and I were impressed.

6. If you might be thinking you won't be able to come, or you can foresee some issues coming up that might prevent you or a family member from coming, if you could just give me a heads up. This won't be a written in stone thing now. There will be a deadline though. As soon as the Hilton rep tells me when that will be, I'll let you know.

This hotel is in close prox. to the temple, this SUPER-DUPER park, and of course golfing.

NEW NEWS!

Did everyone have a GREAT holiday? Are we ready to get in the WFR mode? I hope everyone is saving their pennies, getting ready for the trek to the Rockie Mountains!

Couple of items to update everyone:

GREAT NEWS!
We have been informed that once the pledges are in, we will have sufficient funds to pay for the food for our up coming reunion! So, if you have sent in money, THANK YOU! If you have pledged, mail it in and a BIG THANKYOU, and if you wanted to send in money but couldn't, that's OK we will love to have you anyway!
