HD Rolfson Family Reunion
Here's what we need to do:
- If everyone could respond on this blog, then we can see each others' responses and build from there.
- Be thoughtful about what works for you but also what compromises will need to be made in order to accommodate all of us in some way.
Here is the beginning of this discussion:
I am thinking that we should aim for the summer of 2015
- What time in the summer of 2015 works best for you?
- What time frame works best for your family. i.e. 2 days, 3 days, a week, etc.?
- What location would work best and be fair to the majority of people, i.e. Raymond/Magrath/ Waterton area, Calgary, Washington, North Dakota, Utah, or some other in between place?
- What activities would you like to include, i.e. golf, water sports, amusement parks, hiking, etc.?
- What would you be willing to do to contribute to the planning, execution, activities, food, etc.?
I am sure there are more questions and thoughts but this will get the ball rolling. If you have any other questions, etc. to add please feel free.
I think we have an awesome family that mom and dad, grandma and grandpa have created and this would be to honor them and the legacy they have created.


We think it's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteTime: mid to late August
Length: 3-7 days. If it's farther away we'd want to stay longer to make it worth the drive
Location: we are willing to travel anywhere to see everybody
Activities: we'd do any and all fun things, except camping ;)
Participation: we're willing to take on any assignments, we like things to be planned/ scheduled with some free time to play
That might not have answered all the questions helpfully, but we want come and are willing to do/go anywhere. We'll have opinions when things are suggested, but we have no suggestions right now.
Mom,
ReplyDeleteI think two fun places to look at for location would be either Radium or Couer d'alene. My pick would be Radium because there is so much to do there for everyone's taste. We could look into renting a couple houses in radium valley or those condos we rented a few years ago were really well priced. Just a thought.

July 1st or the 1st two weeks in August work best for us. Matt, we love Couer d'Alene! We just took a family vacation there last month-Silverwood amusement/water park, beach, golf, beautiful resort on the lake. We also thought Cardston or Radium area would be great too.
ReplyDeleteanywhere (I (Stephanie) love the idea of Radium) - 2015 summer sounds great so far it looks like we have all summer wide open (though there is a slight chance we may need to be in BC the 3rd Saturday of August).
ReplyDeleteWill help with anything - what are the assignments? Booking a place, co-ordinating events/activities, assigning groceries & meals…?
August works for us. We love the Radium idea. It's nice if there is a variety of activities for all to enjoy. We love hiking and water activities. Would Grandma be able to travel? Or, should we stick closer to where she is.
ReplyDelete3 days is a nice amount of time
We are willing to contribute in every way that would be helpful!
I can't make any kind of commitment this summer. Darren will be putting in his mission papers this spring and will be able to go anytime after graduation. I don't know when that will be--and then we'd like to have my parents and sisters here if possible for the farewell. It's too up in the air for us at this point to pick any time during this coming summer that we know will work for us.
ReplyDeleteHi Aunt Monica,
ReplyDeleteWe have several activities planned this summer, some of which are already scheduled and others we’re still waiting on dates. Please pick a time that works for everyone else. I hope you’re doing well!
Love, Marilyn
Monica-
ReplyDeleteWe had a family reunion a few years ago with our family and we know how hard it is for everyone to get together. We would be interested in coming if it was held for one day in the Calgary area. It is difficult for us to commit at this time because there are many unknowns in our family for next summer.
Stuart and Anne
We would be down for a 2 day outing in Calgary, doing, hiking, floating down the bow, golf, yoga, and I will teach a hip hop class to the young ones. I do not know my schedule for summer so exact dates are not sure yet.
ReplyDeleteWe are not looking for exact dates right now. Could you give us approximate times that you think might work?
DeleteThe kids would love a class, Cody!
