Given the health concerns and current restrictions surrounding Covid-19 we have decided it is in everyone's best interest to postpone our family reunion.

Please note the adjusted dates for August 13th-15th, 2021.

All rooms at the Downtown Des Moines Marriott have been cancelled.

We are working with the Marriott to reserve a block of rooms for next year and will send out a link as soon as it's available.
