Since our last family reunion in Colorado there has been talk of having another one. We are excited to announce that plans are in the works for a Potts Family Reunion! There had been interest in coming to Montana for the reunion - so after some research we have found a rustic mountain lodge (with all the amenities of home!) nestled in the pines that can hold our whole group in one building. This is the Glacier Mountain Lodge located on the grounds of Glacier Bible Camp in northwest Montana between Kalispell and Glacier Park. The lodge is a new structure with 28 private rooms (2 double queen beds and bath in each), a full commercial kitchen and dining room seating up to 100 people, a conference room and huge stone fireplace in the lobby. Also, for you ladies (or chefs!) out there, we plan on hiring a cook for the entire reunion, so all the meals will be provided. On the Camp grounds there is a playground and a put put golf course for the kids.
We also wanted to pick a spot that would work well for family vacations with lots to see and do in the area. So, if families choose to extend their vacation before or after the reunion, they are already in a great location. Some interesting things to do in the area include: Glacier National Park (only 10 minutes away), horseback riding, white water rafting and a water slide in nearby Columbia Falls. I went to this Bible Camp years ago when I was in college and had a great time. While I was there I went on a fun and memorable white water rafting trip.
The cost for the facilities and preliminary quote from the cook were very reasonable. Since the cost for the rental of the building is a fixed rate the more people that come to the reunion the cheaper it will be per person. To give you something to work with I've calculated a rough cost estimate for an example family of four. That estimate is listed on the next page. We will be sending out additional cost information as we get an idea how many people are planning to attend.
This should be a great opportunity for all of us. Please mark the dates on your calendar and return the Interest Card on the last page of this letter. This will give us better information about you and your family for our planning and costing purposes. Also, if you know of anyone who should have received this letter, but didn't, please contact me with that information. If you have any questions or comments please direct them to me at bobnlisa@gmail.com or (702) 558-0419 . We look forward to hearing from you in the near future!
Sincerely,
