Welcome:

Welcome to those who just registered or just joined the list! We're
looking forward to seeing you in person in April.

If you have any questions or concerns, it's important that you let us
know sooner rather than later, as the pace of things will quicken very
significantly as the date of the event approaches. Just reply to this
mailing if you have any questions or concerns or need anything. We will
give you a prompt (a few days at maximum) response.
. . . . .

We are now just over the one-month point until our big event!

Our volunteers are crossing the Ts and dotting the Is and filling in the
details of what will be a memorable week for all of us. New activities
have been added to the schedule and activity highlights, one of which
appears below, have been added to the DLV Discussion Forum.
. . . . .

Did you forget to register?

It's easy to forget and often misunderstood.

If you have not registered and wish to attend, visit this URL:

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

Please note that registering for DLV 2018 is separate from other things
you may have done such as joining MyDLV or simply saying "I will be
there" in an email or Forum post. If you will be joining us, please
register at the URL above.

You will need to be registered by Sunday, March 25, to get in on the
first round of Activity Sign-Up (see below).
. . . . .

Numbers update:

As of Friday evening we have 155 individuals signed up to attend. This
includes 24 SOs as of this time. All signs are pointing to a very good
turnout this year. We'll continue to give headcount updates as the date
approaches.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Activity Sign-Up begins shortly:

The next big thing to happen will be Activity Sign-Up. This is when you
tell us which of the many optional activities planned for DLV 2018 that
you want to do.

Activity Sign-Up will begin on or about Sunday, March 25.

Most of the activities on our schedule are "no sign-up, just show up" in
nature, meaning that if you are a registered attendee, all you have to
do is show up at the correct place and time.

Some of the activities, however, including most of the larger ones, do
require a sign-up, a headcount, maybe a prepayment in some cases, and
maybe some additional action on your part. These are the activities that
are covered under Activity Sign-Up.

If you have not registered for our 2018 event yet, you will need to be
registered by Saturday, March 24, in order to get in on the first round
of Activity Sign-Up! A few of the optional activities are expected to
fill to capacity quickly, so please do not procrastinate!
. . . . .

On or about March 25, everyone registered for our DLV 2018 event will
receive a special Activity Sign-Up email. This will contain the link to
your Attendee Information Portal, which you will use to access your
personal Activity Sign-Up screen.

IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED ATTENDEE FOR DLV 2018
AND YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THIS SPECIAL EMAIL BY
MONDAY, MARCH 26 AT THE VERY LATEST, SOMETHING
IS WRONG AND WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT!

Just email dlv@divalas.vegas if you do not receive your Activity Sign-Up
email and we will straighten out things for you!

Each activity which requires a sign-up or other action will appear on
this screen with a description, other details, and information on what
may need to be done to fully participate.

If you change your mind on anything you signed up or did not sign up
for, simply re-visit the Activity Sign-Up screen via the Attendee
Information Portal and update your selections.

Please be looking for your Activity Sign-Up email on or about Sunday,
March 25.

Last call for group rates at the Flamingo:

The deadline for booking DLV group rates at the Flamingo is March 15.
This will be a hard-stop cut-off! If you wish to stay at the Flamingo
(our primary suggested hotel for DLV 2018) and take advantage of our
special rates, you will need to act soon or you will miss out.

Our negotiated DLV rate is $55 per night for weekday nights covering the
span from April 11 through April 25. This is a discount of 37% from the
regular rates and 22% from currently-available (December 29) web special
rates.

Please see note on the web page below regarding weekend rates!

To book your room using the special rates, please do one of the
following:

1. Phone 888-373-9855 (toll-free within US) and book your room using the
code SFDIV8. Please note that the reservationist taking your call will
not be aware of the nature of our group.

2. Visit the URL https://aws.passkey.com/go/SFDIV8 and book your room on
line.

Further information about our suggested hotels for DLV 2018 (including
notes on weekend rates, which have been changing frequently) appears on

Big Sister volunteers needed:

Delaney (Big Sister Coordinator) writes:

Ladies, we have only had two Big Sister volunteers to date, putting us
pretty well behind where we historically are at this point.

I do understand that DLV is being held a bit later this year, and many
are not focusing on it just yet, however if you are considering serving,
please send your name in as soon as possible. April will be here in no
time !!!

Thanks

Activity highlight - Bare Minerals Makeup:

Bare Minerals (also known as Bare Escentuals) is a supplier of a very
wide line of cosmetics for face, eyes, lips, as well as skin care
products and tools and accessories. Bare Minerals has many locations
throughout the US as well as Canada, the UK, and Continental Europe.

The Bare Minerals shop in the Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas has been
working with DLV since 2010. They have been especially accommodating to
us and to others in the TG community. They invite and encourage your
business.

The Bare Minerals staff includes several highly-talented makeup artists
who will be willing to work with you on your look in exchange for a
modest purchase. We should note that for DLV 2018, the shop has been
gracious enough to specify no minimum level of purchase for a
consultation!

They are requesting appointments for DLV 2018 attendees. Appointments
are available daily between 11:00am and early evening. You can make your
appointment by phoning 702-369-1556. The staff knows our group well and
there should be no issues phoning for an appointment or for further
information. Please identify that you are a Diva Las Vegas 2018 attendee
when booking your appointment. Bare Minerals will appear on your
Activity Sign-Up screen. This will let our DLV hostess (Marilyn) and the
staff know that you will be phoning in for your appointment.

We should note that the Fashion Show Mall Bare Minerals shop has
consistently scored a solid 10 out of 10 on both the satisfaction and
the comfort scales on the Big List on the DLV web site!
