Thursday, May 2: I will be reviewing the preferences provided by those who are interested, and making the lodging assignments. Key items/steps:
1. I will give preference to those who attended the GCA Streamsong 2013 event for their lodging selection. As of now eight of those 16 participants have expressed interest.
2. From there, I will have a blind “lottery-style” among all others, and make assignments based the order picked and their preferences. Please note that if you want to stay in the Clubhouse, there are only a select number of these rooms. If you want to stay in the Lodge, then you will have no problem with your request.
3. The lottery draw will also help for if/when people staying in the Clubhouse need to drop out; they will be replaced by those next in order on the “lottery list” who prefer to stay in the Clubhouse room that became available, etc.
•
By Friday, May 3: I will post the lodging assignments to the GCA board and also in the Google Docs spreadsheet.
•
By Monday, May 13: Non-refundable deposit of $300/person (need to confirm) is due to Streamsong. You will pay them directly. I will provide logistics next week. If you need to drop out after paying the deposit, you can transfer your spot to another person and they can reimburse you for the deposit amount.
•
February 13, 2014: Balance amount is due to Streamsong. Non-refundable.
If you haven't already expressed interest and want to learn more about pricing, please let me know. If you can't commit now that's understandable; just let me know when you can and I'll see if space is available.
Thanks, and I hope you can join us next year at Streamsong!
