Fay, of course you're booked.
Kristin brought up a good point in the car back from Napa this morning. We need to start the fund.
I'll be talking to the hotel hopefully this week - although there are a couple of fairly gruesome medical appointments, including a mammo. We need to find out how much we need for hotel stuff, and how much we need extra to cover people who need the dosh to get here and cover costs.
Problem with my Paypal account is that it has a hardwired $500 a month withdrawal limit, thanks to my registering initially without my middle initial and the social security number having the middle initial (yes, it's picky and infuriating - don't ask). So juliana has offered to handle the paypal account on this one, since I don't think my hardwire thing is going to be lifted. I hope that's ok with everyone.
DH just called from H&R Block, and the F2F is starting to look less and less like a possibility. Not to mention every other trip we had planned this year. I am near tears right now -- we REALLY needed a refund this year, and...no. Very very no.
FUCK.
Oh, Jess, I am so sorry to hear that.
kicks sucky monday.
Oh, shit, Jess. Shit shit shit.
Damn, Jess! That is just...sucktastic. I'm sorry.
Popping in to jiggle a few elbows, with some information.
April's a lot closer than it was, and the cutoff date for booking rooms is 16 April. I'm going to hopefully be meeting with Sheila and the planners very shortly, and want to remind everyone that in order to guarantee the rates, we're going to need a total of 60 room nights, spread out over four nights. So, if you're planning on booking a room and haven't yet? Do it ASAP, SVP.
We're also looking at starting the fund for covering non-room costs. The projected cost for getting the banqueting room comped is $1,500 catering and drinks total. That's Prom. There's also the hospitality suite rental, four nights at $250 a night. I won't be staying at the hotel, but I'll be kicking in toward the hospitality suite rental and whatever else I can come up (as soon as this bloody car is fixed).
So, we need, what? A central list, with a projected headcount. Also, I'll be talking to the chef sometime next month, with an eye toward consolidating a prom menu. The hospitality suite will be stocked from Thursday morning on; I'm cooking, as are a few others.

My PayPal addy is attached to my profile. Thanks!
