Rooms must be paid for by April 5th, 2006.
If you do not make your reservations by this date and try later, the group rate will not be recognized and you will have to pay the full room rate ($109.00) if there are any rooms left available.
If you need a handicap room, be sure and tell them when you make your reservations.
Banquet:
We have found out that some things are very pricey as far as the banquet goes.
If we have chicken (with all the service charges it comes to $32.00 per person).
If we go with the large banquet buffet, it is $40.00 per person. (Large Variety)
We are going to go with the banquet buffet.
The dinner will be Saturday, May 6, 2006.
Please send your banquet money to Linda Dailey as soon as possible. Final count on the banquet and money must be in two day prior to the banquet. There is a large lounge area where we can all meet next to one of the bars. It would save us a lot of money if we used this as a meeting place. It would be free of charge and could handle us comfortably. A hospitality room for rent is very high.
Linda has been in contact with the tour company and to get a bus trip to Virginia City with a guide will be about $24.00 per person and if people would like to add a 40-minute train ride of the mountain, it will be an additional $6.00 per person.
It would be about a five (5) hour tour on Saturday.
