MILLER FAMILY REUNION GOLF TOURNAMENT

Hi to everyone!
We need non refundable commitments and an exact head count on how many players we are going to have? Please respond to Chris or David Colling ASAP, with the number of your family members who will be golfing. We also would like you to give us your average score for 18 holes so we can match everyone up for teams.

We have decided on the golf course for the Miller Reunion Tournament. We are going to be playing at:
Gleneagle Golf Club
345 Mission Hill Way
Colorado Springs, CO 80921
719-488-0900
Follow the link above for a course layout of each hole, and links to other course information. It is very close to our hotel. It will be a Shotgun start at 7:30 AM on Saturday June 23, 2007. It's a public established course with great views and wide fairways and big greens, so it should be fun for golfers of all playing skills. Don Colling will be putting teams together, based on handicaps, or lack there of, like me! Cost for the tournament will be $60.00 per person, which includes range balls, cart and golf. It will be a best ball scramble format, with each person hitting and then everyone moving to the best shot for the next shot. There will be five (5) prize holes; Best Drive-Men; Best Drive- Women; Closest to the Pin-Men; Closest to the Pin -Women; and Longest Putt-Men & Women Combined.

The course has rental clubs available, but it would be a good idea to reserve them in advance at 719-488-0900.

The shotgun start should allow us all to finish within the same time frame, so we can have a little lunch and awards banquet around noon, still allowing time for us to return to our rooms for rest and clean up prior to the evenings activities which I believe dinner is at 4-5pm?

Email me with any additional questions, and or players names at dcolling@pitman.com.
We look forward to seeing you all on the links in Colorado!!

Family Reunion Update

1 March 2007

Spring is in the air and our family reunion is quickly approaching. Thought you would appreciate an update. We now have 41 rooms reserved. The hotel is excited with the response we have received.

Tentatively we are working on a golf tournament, barn dance (with square dance caller and fiddles), a non-denominational service at the Garden of the Gods followed by a picnic, ancestor bingo and traditional bingo events. This isn't the order of events, but just to give you an idea of the events that are being planned.

The catered meals under consideration are italian and bbq. Events will start Friday night and conclude Sunday night.

Please bring your dancing shoes and appropriate barn dance attire! We have rented a barn at a living history farm so that will take you can experience the social life of Chris Miller's era. Hiking/picnic attire would be a smart bet for the Sunday afternoon picnic. Bring your folding chairs if you are driving!!

Tax time slowed me down so I'm still taking any pictures you want to add to the family tree or think would be fun for the ancestor bingo game!!

Ideas are always appreciated!! Additionally, we can use items for "door prizes" and other "prize" events. If you have something to add to the welcome package (little "give aways"); let me know! Looking forward to seeing you all in Colorado!!
