Welcome and Updates:

Welcome to those who just registered or joined the mailing list.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Just reply
to this mailing.

Plans are on target for our big event in October. Big thanks go out
to our volunteers who are planning all of the fun things that will be
happening this year!
. . . . . . . . . .

Beginning with this mailing, we will be featuring Activity Highlights in
most of our general mailings between now and the big event. These will
give you previews of some of what we have planned for our big event in
October.

Today we feature Tennis And Pickleball and the next mailing will feature
Styles and Looks and Wigs - Oh MY!

These will also be posted as "stickies" (space permitting) in the DLV
Discussion Forum.
. . . . . . . . . .

Several additions and changes have been made to our schedule, and an
updated summary schedule appears below. Those registered for the event
will receive more complete schedules as part of the Final Attendee
Information shortly before the big event.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Latest numbers:

As of Friday we have 194 individuals signed up to attend.

This includes the Significant Other count of 40, which is the highest
percentage of included SOs in our history.
. . . . . . . . . .

As of this mailing, over 90% of those answering the Covid-19 survey
question on the registration screen indicate some degree of immunity
to Covid-19, which is significantly higher than the immunity of the
population at large.

This percentage (> 90%) has remained very consistent throughout our
registration process.

We are continuing to keep an eye on things, and we'll report on any
items that may affect our event, but as of this time things are
continuing to stabilize and we are highly confident of being able to
have a close-to-normal event this October.

Activity Highlight - Tennis and Pickleball Social:

Friday, October 29: 10:00am.

Come get your girl on for an active morning of tennis and/or pickleball.

We will be playing at the Bally’s Hotel tennis courts which are a short
walk from the Flamingo. The event will be a Social, so players will
rotate in for a few games and then rotate out so they can cheer on
others and take a few pics. No experience necessary. Also, if you
simply want to come watch and socialize, you are welcome.

Cost: $10 per player. Please pay via Venmo to Christy at: Venmo user
name is cdundon777 (note, this account is in the name Chris Dundon). If
you don’t have Venmo, please let me know (email below) and we can make
arrangements.

Rackets: Please bring your racket/ paddle. We will have a few extras
for those who don’t have one and they are also available for rent at the
pro-shop.

When: Friday, October 29th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 Noon.

Location: The Bally’s Hotel tennis courts can be accessed by going
through the Bally’s Hotel and out the door toward the pool.

RSVP: Please email us if you are interested in playing. This will give
us an idea on how many will be participating.

Questions: Christy (777quercus@gmail.com) and Jennifer (trip1844@ymail.com)

Things To Come:

Registration for Diva Las Vegas 2021 is now open. You can register
on line here:

https://divalas.vegas/cgi-bin/dlv/aip.cgi

As always, there is no charge to register.

One particular very important note about registration is that very
shortly after you register you will normally receive a confirming email
with some important information and links.

If you should register and receive absolutely nothing from us in email,
this means that something is wrong and we need to know about it and
check to see what is going on. If this should happen to you, please
email dlv@divalas.vegas and report it.
. . . . . . . . . .

Activity Sign-up is scheduled to begin sometime in the first part of
August.

Many of our activities are on a "no sign-up, just show up" basis, but
there are quite a few of the activities which require things like a
sign-up, a headcount, a payment, or some additional action such as a
ticket purchase.

All of this is taken care of at Activity Sign-Up time.

One particular note for 2021 is that we are expecting a very heavy crowd
and some of the popular activities are expected to fill to capacity.
Please do not procrastinate when Activity Sign-Up begins!

Further details will be announced as the Activity Sign-Up date
approaches.
. . . . . . . . . .

Shortly before the big event, we'll roll out the Final Attendee
Information, which will include such items as:

* The Bare Minimum (a "quick-start guide" to DLV)
* Contact Information - Local contact numbers, Big Sister Hotline
* Maps And Schedules - Several versions - Mobile-friendly version
* Making contact, checking in, etc.
* What to do in case something is wrong

* Late Notices - Changes - Updates
* New Attendee Welcome and Orientation information

For 2021, many of these will include "If Your Time Is Short" (aka TLDR)
summaries at the top.
