Activity Sign-Up starts this coming week:

First of all, welcome to those who just registered or just joined our
mailing list. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us
know, just reply to this mailing.
. . . . .

Please note that you must be registered for DLV 2022 by Friday,
September 30, in order to get in on the first round of Activity
Sign-Up.

You may register on line here:

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

As always, there is no charge to register.

If you have any difficulty with registration, please let us know by
emailing dlv@divalas.vegas or simply reply to this mailing.
. . . . .

On or shortly after October 1, everyone registered for DLV 2022 will
receive, via email, an invitation to sign up for activities.

This is where you tell us which of the many optional activities that are
planned for DLV 2022 that you want to do.

This takes only a couple of minutes, and if you change your mind, in
most cases you can simply return to your Activity Sign-Up screen and
update your selections.

Activities which do not appear on the Activity Sign-Up screen are
"No sign-up, just show up" in nature, meaning that all you need to do
to participate is to appear on the roster of DLV 2022 attendees.

If you are registered for DLV 2022 and do not receive your invitation to
sign up for activities by October 4 at the latest, something is wrong
and we need to know about it! If this should happen to you, either
email dlv@divalas.vegas or simply reply to this mailing.
. . . . .

As of Friday evening we have 175 individuals signed up to attend, which
includes 34 So. All signs are pointing to a turnout slightly above the
level we had in 2021.

About schedules:

One very important item which is often overlooked and has resulted in
many frustrations and disappointments over the years is the use of
inaccurate versions of our daily schedules.

Please use only the schedules contained in the Final Attendee
Information (sent out during the week prior to the event) for your
use during the event.

IF YOU ARE USING ONE OF THE SCHEDULES POSTED IN
ANY DLV MAILINGS, (SUCH AS THIS ONE), IT IS MOST
LIKELY OLD AND INACCURATE!

IF YOU ARE USING ANY DLV SCHEDULE THAT IS POSTED IN
SOCIAL MEDIA, IT IS MOST LIKELY OLD AND INACCURATE!

Last year we had (at least) two cases of attendees who paid for
expensive taxi or rideshare rides to locations where no DLV activities
were happening because of these reasons!

The Final Attendee Information will have several versions of our final
schedule, all containing the same information, but in different formats,
in order to let you select the version of the schedule that is most
convenient for you, personally.

These will include:

* Simple Complete Schedule. Suitable for desktop, mobile, printing.

* Mobile-Friendly DLV schedule. Easy to use mobile-device schedule.

* Customized DLV 2022 schedule. Select the details you want.

* Tabular Schedule. Calendar-like schedule for desktop or mobile.

* Full Schedule. Ugly-printed, but contains all information.

of the above activities.

In addition, you may check in (name tags may or may not be available)
at any activity marked "Check-In Available" on the final schedule.

If you will not be able to make any of the above-listed activities,
you may still participate prior to checking in. As long as your name
appears on the final DLV 2022 roster, you are good.

If you have any questions or concerns about meeting the group and/or
checking in, please let us know (email: dlv@divalas.vegas or simply
reply to this mailing) or phone/text one of the DLV contact people
listed in the Final Attendee Information.

DLV group rates at Flamingo - Final warning:

Many people are staying at the Flamingo at a group rate which is still
open until September 30th.

To book your room under the DLV rate plan, please visit this URL:

https://book.passkey.com/go/SFDIV2

The Flamingo is a very large long-standing midscale hotel-casino located
right in the heart of the center Strip area. DLV attendees have used
the Flamingo ever since 1998 and no issues have been reported.

As of this writing, the Flamingo is one of the least expensive of all
major hotels in the Center Strip area.

Further information on the Flamingo is available at the main Flamingo
web site, on line here: https://www.flamingolasvegas.com/

We remain short of Big Sisters for October.

Please consider helping a new girl get started on the DLV journey.

Your assistance would be appreciated !!!!
