Last call:

This will most likely be the last general mailing prior to DLV
2008. The Large Final Mailing, as outlined below, will be sent
out on this coming Tuesday.

We would like to thank all of the DLV organizers and volunteers
for preparing what looks to be the most exciting DLV in history.
When you see these people, please be sure to let them know that
their efforts are appreciated!

We're looking forward to seeing all of you on the 21st.
. . . . .

This is absolute last call, gang!

DLV 2008 registration closes Tuesday, April 15, at about 8:00am
CDT. Activity sign-up closes at this time as well. See detailed
deadline information below.

If you recently registered or recently joined the list, please
be sure to catch up on the back mailings at the URL:

Anything missing?

If you sent in any request or response and have not received
some kind of confirmation or acknowledgement, please let us
know, the sooner the better. E-mail is not a perfect medium,
and cases of missing mail are not uncommon.

Please let us know, now, if there's something that appears
to be hanging!
. . . . .

Waiting lists? Please don't panic!

A technical glitch has been reported -- several times -- and has
been confirmed, which makes it appear that some people have been
bumped down onto the waiting list for some of the more popular
activities.

Please don't worry. The date of your FIRST selection for that
activity is what counts! If there's still any concern, write in
and we'll confirm the date you first signed up for something.

This will not be fixed this year. Trying to do so would be
like trying to fix a flat tire while the car is heading down
the highway at 70 MPH!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Hanging chad:

Beatrice, Pauline, Trina: You need to send in your validation
response if you want to remain registered. All unvalidated
registrations will be cancelled on Monday.

DaynaLynn, Holly, Kimberly, Laura, Virginia, Amy, ChristyAnn,
Kari, Alicia, Veronica, Jody: You need to send in a response
reconfirming your Friday Upscale Dining at the new time and
the required minimum if you wish to attend this function.

If you've signed up for the High Tea or Golf and have not
made your payments, see notices below. If you're no longer
interested in participating in these activities, please be
courteous to the organizers and re-submit your activity
selections, leaving off those you're no longer interested
in.

Others who have not signed up for activities: We need either an
activity sign-up or a brief "yes, I am still coming" e-mail by
Monday to avoid cancellation. It's time to defecate or abdicate,
so to speak! :)

Important golf reminder:

Mindy writes:

Hey Gang.

I have a huge difference between those who have signed up for
golf on the DLV site and those who have confirmed with me that
they have signed up with the golf course.

Remember that Sunday, April 13, is the deadline to contact the
golf course and pay for the tournament.

Please contact me (mindy@mindyrussell.com) when you have
done so. I need to make the pairings and cart assignments.

For those of you who have let me know who you wish to play with
I do have a list working and so far it looks like I can pair
you up as requisted.

Important High Tea reminder:

Jamie writes:

We are coming into the final week till DLV. Out of 22 signups
I have received 9 payments. I will be at the Lunch with Ginger,
on Monday. Any payments not received by the end of lunch will
lose their seat at Tea.

I will also be at the MCC church on Sunday morning and most
"unofficial" functions on Sunday. Monday you will be able to
find me at Studio Lites.

If you see a conflict with getting me the payment, please,
email me NOW so we can work something out.

Pre-pre DLV outing Monday April 14th:

Nora writes:

For those of you who live in Las Vegas and those of you who plan
to be here there will be a pre-pre DLV get together this coming
Monday April 14th (7:30) at the Blue OX. (Sirius & Valley View).

Come and meet your sister DLV attendees both locals and visitors.
It will be a great time to talk about the DLV and make plans for
the following week.

Any questions about Monday night or the DLV get back to me.

Sunday, April 20:

For those who are in town early, yes, there will be some pre-DLV
things happening on Sunday the 20th. See the Large Final Mailing
for details.

Activity capacity and such:

As of this morning, the following activities are full and in a
waiting-list state:

Night Of The Soiled Doves, Tuesday
Prime Rib Loft option, Eating Out Night, Wednesday
Trevi option, Eating Out Night, Wednesday
Limo Tour, Thursday evening
Alternative Dining Option, Friday evening

The only activity which has a significant waiting list is the
Night Of The Soiled Doves, which has a total sign-up of almost
twice the capacity.

Some people have moved up! Some of you who saw that "FULL" sign
at sign-up time will note that they have moved up to confirmed
status when the Large Final Mailing comes out.

If you want to attend Night Of The Soiled Doves and are not on
the confirmed list, please see the "Waiting list instructions"
on the final schedule.

For the Limo Tour, your best chance, if you want to go, is to
select your preferred option (A or E) and your second choice
as the opposite option.

Trevi is right at the cut-off point. There's a very good chance
you can get in on this one.

For all other full activities, check with the individual
activity coordinators at DLV for availability.

The Upscale Dining Option for Friday is no longer in a waiting
list state. Please see notes on the sign-up screen regarding
timing and minimum if you wish to sign up for this.

The following activities are near capacity:

Rock Star Karaoke, Monday

For Rock Star Karaoke, check with the hostess as the group
departs the Welcome Celebration on Monday of DLV week.

There are no capacity issues on any of the daytime activities,
most of the smaller evening activities, and the two
maximum-attendance gatherings. Although we don't anticipate
any issues, should we run into any physical venue capacity
issues, priority will be given to those whose registrations
are dated prior to April 1.
