I would like to thank all of you for your support in making this a wonderful experience. I enjoyed having you here and getting to know you; which for me was the real blessing in being the host city. I hope your travels home were safe and pleasant. I am posting some pictures today and will post others later. Thanks again and I hope you all had a great time.

Just Days Away!!!
Hello Everyone,
Here are some updates:
Due to a scheduling conflict, the church service will be held Friday @ approximately 11:00 am. Therfore, Firday evening and Saturday morning/afternoon are free for the city activities.
Some has asked about the t-shirt color. The T-shirt color is sand (or tan if you prefer).
The order for T-shirts has been placed. Late registrants will be unable to get a T-shirt.
I hope you are in the final planning stages as we are and we hope to see you soon.

Spring Reunion NEWS!!
Hello Everyone,
We would like to extend our condolences to our Indiana family members for their recent loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
I've received some inquiries regarding the tentative reunion schedule and whether you'll need a rental car. Below I've listed the tentative schedule and if the event is onsite or offsite. Most offsite events will require transportation arrangements.
Thursday, July 9, 2009 : Meet / Greet, location at the Hotel
Friday, July 10, 2009: City Sites, location off site (transportation may be available)
Saturday, July, 11, 2009: Church Service - location offsite
Saturday, July 11, 2009: Banquet / Dance, location at the Hotel
Sunday, July 12, 2009: Picnic, location offsite
There is shuttle service available to and from LAX and the Hotel for about $13.00 each way via Super Shuttle.
There are many low airfares available. Southwest is now offering tickets for $99.00 each way. You can also book online with American Airlines using the Blackmon Family Reunion code: contract ID: HNM1102091514 authorization #: A8279AS and get 10% off your ticket. If you call the airline you will be charged a $20.00 booking fee. There is also a Blackmon Family Reunion discount through Avis (1-800-331-1600) rental car arranged by American Airlines; Avis code: AWD# B136001. Many thanks to Chantel from St. Louis, MO, in helping secure these discounts!!!
The Hotel rate is available on Wednesday, July 8th and Monday, July 13th. There is a limit on how many can take advantage of these rates; however, if we exceed our alloted amount of rooms for these days by time you book your room, please e-mail me so that I can attempt to negotiate for additional rooms. Remember to put Blackmon Family Reunion in the subject to prevent your e-mail from going to the Junk folder. winbmw@msn.com
Please get your registration forms in by the deadline. Thanks.

December 2008 Update
Hello Family,
You should have received your letter and registration forms by now!! Please make sure you mention The Blackmon Family Reunion when making your room reservations to get the $115 a night rate. Doubletree Hotels: http://www.doubletree.com/
Also there are three airports in the Los Angeles area; however, the two closest to the hotel are LAX Int'l and Long Beach. Of the two, LAX is closest but Long Beach is not that far either. Long Beach is a hub to Jet Blue whereas LAX provides no Jet Blue services.
The other airport is Burbank but it is about a 45 minute drive to the hotel and with traffic can be longer. I ill advise this airport; however, if you find a really good deal you may want to go for it.
If you have questions, feel free to call or send an e-mail to: winbmw@msn.com Please put Blackmon Family Reunion in the subject so that I know it's not junk or spam. Thanks.
