Glacier Park Lodge Employee Centennial Reunion July 16-19, 2013 update:

We’ve had an interesting year finding 607 of us who worked at Glacier Park Lodge. We owe special thanks to the few who kept those employee lists handed out at the end of each season. The addresses on those lists were those we gave when we applied for work at GPL…but those were great clues that guided our search.

Of those responding to our informal survey, 183 say they are coming to GPL for the Reunion. Another 135 are “maybes.” GPL has room reservations from 114 of us. From our survey we know an additional 54 are planning on making reservations at the Lodge and 73 are planning to camp, stay in East Glacier Park motels, or have arranged other accommodations (renting houses, etc.). With 11 months to go, we forecast total attendance—including family members—between 400 and 500.

This is going to be a grand time with the opportunity for reminiscing, hiking, Red Bus tours, special tours of GPL, food events on-the-lawn, evening programs.

You may already have made your plans to attend and have made lodging/camping/other reservations. If you have not made your plans, we urge you to do so now.

There are still rooms available at GPL. For details on rates and to reserve your Glacier Park Lodge room contact:

Glacier Park, Inc. has agreed to block all of those rooms for the GPL Reunion,” said co-reunion organizer John Dobbertin, Jr. “However, those rooms are in high demand. And we continue reaching more Glacier Park Lodge alums. Our goal is to have 450 GPL alums on our list by June of this year. We strongly urge you to make your reservations today!”

To make your reservations call 406-892-6729 or e-mail Amber Green at agreen@glacierparkinc.com Be certain to say you are attending the Glacier Park Lodge Employee Centennial Reunion.

Meanwhile, the search continues for our Glacier Park Lodge alums. E-mail any GPL alum contacts you may have to: gplodge2013@gmail.com

Co-reunion organizers Joe Blair and John Dobbertin, Jr. held their second-annual planning meeting in January at Walt Disney World’s Wilderness Lodge in Orlando, FL. They are seeking volunteers to help with onsite details and with planned hiking events, golf tournament, and GPL tours. If you want to help, e-mail: gplodge2013@gmail.com

Glacier Park Lodge Employee Centennial Reunion Update

October 2011
Glacier Park Lodge Employee Centennial Reunion Update To be held July 16-19, 2013

Within the next few weeks you will receive in the mail the autumn issue of “The Inside Trail.” This marvelous newsletter appears in print three times a year and is mailed to Glacier Park Foundation members. Glacier Park Foundation President John Hagen reports: “This 24-page issue has several feature articles about Glacier Park Lodge.”

We have been life members of the Glacier Park Foundation for several years. If you are not already a member, we urge you to consider membership. Full details about membership will be in the newsletter you receive.

Special note: Glacier Park Lodge has blocked all rooms for us for the July 16-19, 2013 Glacier Park Lodge Employee Centennial Reunion and they will begin taking reservations in March 2012. In early March 2012 you will receive from us a special reservation code and room rates for making your reservations with Glacier Park Lodge. We have also been in contact with some of the motels in East Glacier Park and have been told they usually take reservations beginning early in each calendar year…meaning they will most likely take reservations beginning in January 2013.

Co-Coordinator Joe Blair and I will be meeting Thursday, January 12 in Orlando, Florida. If you are in the area & would like to join us, please e-mail us at: gplodge2013@gmail.com

See you at the Lodge in ’13,
