Welcome and updates:

We are now five weeks away from Diva Las Vegas 2019!

Welcome to those who registered or just joined this list. If you have
any questions or concerns, please let us know. Just reply to this
mailing.
. . . . .

Our volunteers have added quite a few additional activities to our
schedule. See the summary schedule below. Also see the note on
Activity Highlights, which will be appearing between now and DLV.
. . . . .

If you want to attend and have not registered yet, please do so. You can
register on line here:

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

Registration is free and involves very little formality.

Please note that you must be registered by Sunday, March 3, in order to
get in on the first round of Activity Sign-Up. See details of Activity
Sign-Up below.
. . . . .

As of Friday morning we have 129 signed up to attend. Registrations
have been coming in at a rate of just over one per day for the past few
weeks and it appears that the show-up numbers will converge in the
130-140-some range, similar to what we've seen in 2017 and 2018.

post summaries of the activities that they are planning, and several
have been posted already.

These will appear on the Diva Las Vegas Discussion Forum, which is on

Nightcap with Cindy, Coffee With Aunt Katie, Power Walk with Cathy,
Golf, Carmine's Restaurant dinner, High Roller at the Linq, Piff the

Big Sisters:

Delaney (Big Sister Coordinator) writes:

Thanks to all who have volunteered as Big Sisters, it is most
appreciated.

We are still one short at this time, and I would expect several more
requests, as we are still over a month away. Please consider joining
as a Big Sister.

You can volunteer to be a Big Sister by returning to your DLV
Information Portal (the link you received when you registered),
updating your registration, and selecting the Big Sister button.

Activity sign-up just around the corner:

Activity sign-up is an important milestone on the road to Diva Las
Vegas. This is when you tell us which of the many optional activities
you want to participate in.

Most of our activities are on what we call a "no sign-up, just show up"
basis, meaning all you need to do in order to attend is to be a
registered DLV attendee.

Several of them, however, require such things as a sign-up, a headcount,
or maybe even a payment in advance.

We take care of this at activity sign-up time.

On or about Monday, March 4, most everyone who currently holds a valid
DLV 2019 registration will receive a special mailing containing an
invitation to sign up for optional activities.

IF YOU ARE REGISTERED FOR DLV 2019 AND DO NOT RECEIVE
THIS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 6, AT THE VERY LATEST,
SOMETHING IS WRONG AND WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT!

If this (no invitation to sign-up for activities) happens to you, please
e-mail dlv@divalas.vegas and explain the circumstances.

This mailing will contain the link to your personal Attendee Information
Portal and specific instructions on how to sign up for activities.

If you want to get a jump on things, beginning on or about Monday,
March 4, you can simply return to your Attendee Information Portal
(the link you received when you registered for DLV) at any time and
begin the Activity Sign-Up process. If the "Activity Sign-Up tile is
green, that means that Activity Sign-Up is open.

If you change your mind on anything, it's very easy to return to the
Activity Sign-Up screen and make changes.

It's also very easy to see a summary of the activities that you are
signed up for. Just return to the Attendee Information Portal and select
the green "Update Activities" tile.

MyDLV members can sign-up for activities at their convenience by
clicking on the "Activity Sign-Up" button on the main MyDLV screen
beginning on or about March 4.

Please let us know if you have any questions or any difficulty with
Activity Sign-Up.
