Some folks ask me where I get such a great attitude
..........

I usually tell them that I can't remember.
 

Last update to this page

August 5, 2008

Dates: The 2009 BransonGoers Reunion dates are Friday, June 12^th through Sunday, June 14^th.

You are welcome to come earlier if you like.  Many people will arrive on Thursday, June 11^th, to go to or meet at Lambert’s for supper around 4:30 or so.  At Lambert’s your meal is free if you are in a wheelchair or scooter.  See their website under 'Branson Links' on the left side of this page for menu, etc. They have lots of good  food.  We guarantee you won’t leave hungry!

Many will also stay until Monday (or even later) to visit longer.

Accommodations: Settle Inn: 800-677-6906 - Group #: PP5288.

They’ll need your credit card #, but NOTHING WILL BE CHARGED UNTIL YOU ARRIVE. PLEASE… make your reservations now!

Rooms have been set aside for us (including all of their handicap rooms!).  If you have a question or problem with the hotel… please let Kathy know! (417-336-8663)  She will handle any problems.

If you need special adaptive equipment, please tell them when you make your reservation and ask that they put it in the “comments” section.  Also, email Kathy with your needs.  Remember: No hotel can provide every piece of adaptive equipment that every customer might need.  If they don’t have it, you have 3 other choices:

1. Bring your own.

2. Let Kathy know and she'll see if anyone has it and is willing to bring it and allow you to use it.  Incidentally, we will need some power chairs for the weekend.  If you have one you’re willing to bring and loan for the weekend, please let Kathy know.

3. You can rent it locally.  MediTech of Branson (417-334-4272) is a medical supply house in Branson.  They rent medical equipment and will deliver and pick it up at the hotel.  Again, please let Kathy so she can keep tabs on it for you.

Cost: Rooms: ±$62/night (including tax).  Up to 4 people per room at no additional cost.

---

Registration Fee: $45 per person:  includes lunch and supper on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Also includes soft drinks, bottled water and snacks which will be in the Hospitality Room all weekend.  Our Polio Stories book (bring yours from last year to be updated; newcomers only will receive a complete new book); VCR or CD of reunion; any other miscellaneous charges.

Activities:
The Eddingtons plan to book the Excalibur Room on the the same dates as our reunion.  Along with the Eddingtons will be Joie Christensen, Brian Keith Pendergrass and Miss Keely.  They are the same Gospel singers that were at the Settle Inn in 2008.  Plan on having a great time listening to some of the best Gospel music and singing in the area!
As over the past few years, we will again have karaoke which also includes THE BRANSONEERS!  We bought another karaoke CD for a wider range of music and plan to add another CD each year.

---

Special Dinner Gift: Everyone is asked to bring a gift; inexpensive, used, gag gift, etc., etc. – remember... inexpensive!

---

Kitchen: Pat will continue working the kitchen.  I'm sure she will welcome any help offered.  If you are interested in helping Pat, email her here.

---

Book / CD / DVD / VCR / audio book exchange: If you have any you’d like to get rid of, bring them along!

Crafts. Etc.: If you have crafts or other things you’d like to sell, please bring them along also.  If you bring things to sell, please remember… many live on fixed incomes, so you may have a better chance to sell something if it’s priced inexpensively.

Phyllis is handling the exchange and the crafts table.  Any questions, please contact Phyllis.

Branson Shows:  If you decide you want to go to a show while your at the reunion, the following web sites offer coupons WITHOUT Timeshare tours:

www.sunnydayguides.com Click on Branson on the left column and coupons along the top of the page.

www.bestreadguide.com  Click on Branson on the map, click on the booklet cover, then on coupons as each click takes you to a new page.

Branson also has a 2 for 1 ticket outlet that is NOT a Timeshare.  They don't have a web site.  A list of the shows they do offer will be available at the reunion.  They do not offer tickets to the major shows such as Shoji, Andy Williams, etc.

Feel free to email Linda if you have any questions regarding the Vacation Guides.

More info as we get it...  So stay connected...
