Water, water, and more water is what has worked for Kelly during her visits.

I just checked the reservations, and we are down to 4 (plus Nicole and Stephanie, so I guess we are at 6). In addition to no prom, I'm thinking no hospitality room also. A couple of people have donated and at this rate I feel like I should refund that money.

Any advice on how to go forward with this is appreciated.

That was me who cancelled. There's just no way I can get away that weekend.

I'm arriving late Thursday night, and I'll be around through Monday, when I'll head down to Colorado Springs to spend a couple days revisiting my old haunts. I fly back out of DIA late Wednesday.

Is anyone interested in taking the tour at the Mint? That's the only thing I'm thinking about doing that requires advance arrangements.

I'm not big on fancy or formal. I'm just hoping to meet and greet and visit with any others who turn up, and do what seems fun and interesting as the whim strikes.

Suzi, as one of the donors I'm more than happy to let you and the folks that do make it to the F2F decide what you want to do with any funds you've received. Just because you may decide against a full-blown prom, doesn't mean you can't use the money to defray costs on a group dinner or something else of a group nature. Have fun! And take lots of pictures so we can see how debauched beautiful you all are.

I'm planning to come in Thursday and leave Monday morning; haven't sent in my prom donation yet (stuff happens). I've reserved a room ....

dcp, I think a Mint tour would be quite interesting. (do they give samples) We are going to be there Thursday thru Monday also.

It looks lime we are on the hook for $500 if we cancel. I won't be able to call until after work today to see if there is any wiggle room on that.

How much money have you raised, Suzy? I'm certain people will donate to defray the costs if you need to cancel.

Yes, I am happy to donate something to help.

I want to touch base with the hotel before I ask for donations.
