Putters and balls

The Bissell's Hideaway website says mini-golf is free if you have your own equipment, so that means packing some putters and extra golf balls -- hopefully to share.

See you all SOON!

More info about prices

Here's some new info about rates at Bissell's Hideaway:

It seems that some of the early birds did NOT get the reunion discount when they booked. There was also a question about whether we would be paying weekday prices and weekend rates.

Here is what Ed at Bissell's agreed when I spoke with him yesterday.

We will be charged the two different rates (for weekday and weekend) but he is increasing the four-day discount to 30% and the three-day discount to 25%. For example, a four-day booking for a serviced campsite will cost $255, including taxes, and a three-day booking will be $209, including taxes. This includes access to ALL park facilities.

The people who have already booked should see discounts applied to their credit cards. If not, call Ed.

The Bergsma Bonsma's are on site 112!

Send photos

As preparation for the reunion, we are working to create a family tree, with photos.

Whether you are coming or not, we need your pictures and your info!

Please send a photo or photos of EVERYONE in your family, whether they were born or married into the VanZeumeren clan.

Recent photos are best. They can be individual photos or family photos, professional portraits or snapshots. We will be cropping headshots out of the photos, so a clear image of each face is best. Feel free to include boyfriends or girlfriends, especially if they're coming to the reunion.

Please include the names of all your family members, their connection to one of the original immigrants (Meta, Bert, John, Henk, Herman, Irene or Elly) and year of birth.

Send the photos to Dean at dbonsma@canborough.ca

Here's a sample to inspire you:
