THE LATEST: Orange Beach, Alabama Summer of 2008

Please make a note that we had to change the dates due to some booking problems with the meeting rooms. If this is going to cause a major issue for some, we will have to start over at square one for other reunion options. This place is already booking up. Here are the details:

THE DATES HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO JUNE 23-26, 2008.
Rates per room 1 bedroom - 3 nights - $511.71
2 bedroom - 3 nights - $682.65
3 bedroom - 3 nights - $818.07

Condo info: the one bedroom condo has one bathroom and sleeps 4 bodies (sofa sleeper)
the two bedroom condo has two bathrooms and sleeps 6 bodies
the three bedroom condo has two bathrooms and sleeps 8 bodies
I know there are several of you that would like to add more people to the condo to cut costs, however, we have to be careful. You could maybe get away with a couple of extra people, but let's don't go overboard.
All one-bedroom condos have a king bed. In the two bedroom condos there is one king and then there could be two twins or one queen. In the three bedroom condos there is one king bed and there could be two twins, two double or one queen bed in the other two bedrooms. You will need to be specific when you reserve your condo regarding the beds you would like to request. Again, as we reserve these, requests will come on a first come first serve basis.

In order to reserve your condo, you will need the following information:
Phone: 1-800-221-0258 (24 hrs.)
Group #: 1011540 (under Cochran Family Reunion)
Name of Building: Phoenix VI
Condo info: One, two or three-bedroom condo
Deposit: You will need to give one night's deposit.
One bedroom - $211.35
Two bedroom - $267.83
Three bedroom - $330.54
These rates include the housekeeping, telephone access, tax, and car passes.

Please inform your family that the sooner we book these condos the better chances we have of being together. I have requested floors 5-7 with a couple of ground level rooms for those who will need it. You can begin reserving as early as today. Please let me know if there are problems or concerns that need to be addressed. It is very difficult for a group this large to be accommodated this nicely for this price. There are lots of fun ideas going around to make this a great reunion. As you are making your plans, we are also going to try and do a day at Darbun kind of thing. It will be on Sunday before the reunion. We are trying to make arrangements for church at the old Darbun church and maybe creek time. If you are interested, people will be making arrangements to stay overnight at motels in Hattiesburg on Sunday evening before driving over to Orange Beach. It would be nice for me to know how many are interested in this extra side trip.

Please get this information out to your family members ASAP and let's start planning a great 2008 reunion.

Any question – please contact your family rep or Sandy Holbrook.
