Dear Chris,
Thank you so much for accommodating our wedding party on such short notice. It was a day that will be memorable for the rest of our lives. With our first venue being flooded by Hurricane Ivan, it was you that came above and beyond. You and Tom kept my head on my shoulders and kept me sane. Thank you so much for your help with the house and the rooms. Everyone had a fabulous time and loved Woodloch, I am still getting phone calls and letters on how nice everything was, from the rooms, the house, food, scenery, and of course the guys loved the golf course. My dad keeps raving about breakfast the morning after. We had a great time and our relatives and friends are thinning about renting the house next year and really get to enjoy the area to its fullest extent. Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
TAMARA PETTITE-LAUBENGEYER AND CHRISTOPHER LAUBENGEYER
Dear Karen,
We spoke on the phone, but wanted to put in writing how much we truly appreciate all your efforts in helping me "pull off" the Grumbling family Reunion last weekend. You were even able to orchestra favorable weather condition, as each day was sunny, bright and beautiful.
Every one of us —from ages 70 to 7— had a terrific time! There was so much to do, that it seemed as if we would never be able to squeeze in one more shuffleboard game, tennis match or "teen" group kayak excursion. One of the highlights of the weekend, beside the fabulous Saturday barbecue, was the Grumbling victory in the 4-man volleyball tournament. I believe that may have been the only time we were all together!
Woodloch was the perfect place. We will definitely be returning for our next reunion. No doubt we may have a few more next time, with added children, siblings and special family guests. And I am confident you will handle all of these arrangements again with style and grace.
Thank you so much for your help. And a special thanks to all the people we encountered at Woodloch who were so very accommodating that it was truly a very special weekend for all!
Thanks, Karen,
L. GAYE TORRANCE
To the Staff,
The Wallace Family wants to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU. Our family reunion on June 14th, 15th, and 16th, which was in celebration of our 50th Wedding Anniversary, was a tremendous success.
First in learning about Woodloch Pines from our friends, then our son Gerry's contact with Chris, who was so very pleasant and helpful, who evaluated our families needs and suggested the accommodations in the homes. This suggestion was fantastic. Each family was so very comfortable. The setting was beautiful, peaceful and just perfect.
The staff, housekeeping, main desk, dining room, each one doing their job so well. Each and every person was courteous, efficient, accommodating and always trying to fill our needs. To top it off, the food was just wonderful.
Our family, who traveled from all parts of the country, has fallen in love with Woodloch Pines and certainly will return again. Our 50th Anniversary was made memorable by our being with you. Thank you again.
Sincerely yours,
SPENCER & SONYA WALLACE
Dear John,
While many of our visits to Woodloch are planned in a moments notice, our last visit was ten years in the making. March will mark the tenth anniversary or our family's first trip to Woodloch. There were only three of us that the time but we knew even then that Woodloch would be an important part of our lives for years, perhaps generations to come.
So what was so special about the weekend of February 8–10th? Everything!! We were celebrating our older daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Ali's only desire was to celebrate at Woodloch with her closest family and friends. Sounds like a difficult event to plan? Not really! All it took was an initial call to Chris Bower and the "Woodloch Wheel" was rolling. The planning was effortless and the execution was flawless. Every request was honored, each detail attended to, and every need was anticipated. Simply stated—the Woodloch way!
Whether our group was participating in the Winter Olympics or Scavenger Hunt with 250 other guests or enjoying our own campfire, we experienced the same level of warm hospitality that was the signature of Woodloch.
John, each Saturday night in the Heritage Club you take a moment to recognize your staff as being the best and the reason for Woodloch's success. No truer statement could be made.
Thank you, and thanks to the entire Woodloch staff for making our "10-year in the making" weekend a smashing success with memories to last a lifetime.
Fondly,
SPIESMAN
