UPDATED ANNOUNCEMENTS
(as of June 27th)
This is a final reminder that Sunday, June 29th, is the last day to register for the reunion. Please note that submitting the registration form does not guarantee registration; you must pay your fees in full to be considered registered. An email was sent to partial registrants last week, and it's essential that you complete your registration to participate in reunion activities.
Barnetts, if you have booked and paid for rooms at Jelly Stone but haven't registered, you still need to pay your registration fee to attend meals and other activities.
June 29th is the last day to submit High School and College Graduation information.
Jelly Stone Wrist Bands must be purchased by July 7th for non-lodging guests who plan to use park amenities. The price has been reduced to $30.00 plus tax per day. Due to park computer system issues bands will need to be purchased using the provided link.
Some have inquired about reunion dress attire. Please see optional dress attire during reunion weekend.

**Exciting News**
We have decided to reopen registration until June 29 for those who want to attend the reunion.
The park has agreed to let registered Barnetts not staying in the park who opted not to purchase a wristband leave the loft to visit family members’ rooms and walk the grounds. Please understand that if you are caught doing any activity that requires a band, you will be asked to purchase a wristband or leave the park immediately and will not be allowed to return.
The park has agreed to let registered Barnetts have visitors. A wristband must be purchased from Darla by July 7th. Visitors will not be allowed to enter the loft or participate in any family reunion activities unless they register for the reunion. You are responsible for your guest; if rules are not followed, both parties will be asked to vacate the premises. Visitors can enter the park from 9:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. daily.
*********
Family, if you have not paid for your registration, please do so ASAP. Our paid registration name and headcount do not match the headcount numbers and names we received from Jelly Stone and Holiday Inn. The committee has contract commitments we must fulfill to avoid cancellations or penalties.
Several of you have expressed concern about the Texas Heat. Family, we have a building/loft reserved 24 hours a day for the length of the reunion. The facility is a little over one year old. In addition, several other air-conditioned buildings are located on the property to escape the heat.
We also continue to get questions about Jelly Stone lodging options. The cabins are of hotel quality, if not better. Cabins are made of cedar and contain tile or real wood floors. Cabins that contain kitchens have stainless steel appliances with granite countertops. If you have not reviewed the website, please take a moment to see what you’re getting.
Family staying at the Holiday Inn, please call Kinta @ 817-480-1945. I need to collect additional information from you.
June 15 is the last day to order a reunion book. Order now to guarantee your copy; limited copies will be printed.
June 15 is the last day to order a reunion shirt. Order now to get your T-shirt delivered in time for the reunion.
Remember, if you are not staying at Jelly Stone and want to use park amenities, a wristband must be purchased. Bands can be purchased from the reunion committee until June 1st; after June 1st, bands can be purchased through Darla until July 7th.
-----------------------------------------
Jelly Stone confirmed they are waiving the second vehicle parking fee. You can now have two vehicles per cabin at no charge.
Jelly Stone - Late check-ins and coming and going. The gate will be staffed 24 hours. There will be no problem entering and exiting the park.
Family, staying at Jelly Stone please make sure you adhere to the payment deadline unless you have spoken to our reservation agent Darla. Darla relayed that she has been unable to get in contact with some guests or has been waiting for a return call with updated information. For those wanting to stay in the park there have been a few rooms open due to cancellations.
Elders or the disabled with motorized carts are permitted to have them in the park. You will need to notify Darla before doing so. If you would like to rent a golf cart instead of bringing your scooter, please speak with Darla sooner rather than later to receive a special rate. Golf cart pick up for all guests is 13:00 return time is noon.
Reunion shirts - If you have not ordered your reunion shirt/s, please do so. Pricing is based on ordering 300 shirts. We chose this number to get the best pricing for the family.
