Newcomer registration:
Registration for newcomers who are members of this mailing list
is now open. Registration is free and very simple. You register
on the web.
Please use this link to register:
{link removed in web archive copy}
A few notes about registration:
1. VERY IMPORTANT! Shortly after you register, you should
receive a confirmation e-mail. This will contain a link for
you to use if you wish to review or change your registration.
IN THE EVENT YOU RECEIVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN E-MAIL
AFTER YOU REGISTER, SOMETHING IS WRONG AND WE NEED TO
KNOW ABOUT IT!
If that confirming e-mail does not reach you, e-mail us and
explain the circumstances. Things like this are easy to trace
if they are reported, but each year we seem to get 1-2 cases
where it is not reported and it causes issues later.
2. If you don't know such things as when you will arrive, when
you will depart, or where you will be staying, give us your
best guess and update your registration when you know.
3. If something does not work as expected, you get some kind of
error message, or if you have any difficulty registering, let us
know. E-mail us at dlv@geekbabe.com and we'll get things sorted
out for you.

Schedule highlights:
We'll start posting the preliminary schedule of activities in
these mailings in a few weeks as soon as most of the major
activities are solid.
In the meantime, here are some highlights.
On Monday, April 23, we'll have the big Welcome Celebration in
the evening. We're now considering three options for this and we
expect a decision on which way we'll go in a few weeks.
This will be the largest single gathering of DLV attendees for
2012 and we're encouraging everyone to plan to attend!
On Tuesday morning, April 24, we'll have the annual Diva Las
Vegas Invitational Golf. This is on record as a true world's
first. It's the first regularly-scheduled TG golf match in
recorded history! Golfers of all backgrounds and skill levels
are encouraged to participate.
On Wednesday evening, April 25, we'll have an expanded reception
and private tour at the Erotic Heritage Museum. This will include
a peek at a new TG exhibit, which is being developed with the
input from some of our volunteers. Dress code will be relaxed
and adult beverages will be available. We anticipate this to be
our best-attended mid-week activity.
On Thursday, April 26, in the afternoon we'll have the High Tea,
a favorite daytime dress-up affair, and in the evening, we'll
feature the 2012 edition of our annual Limousine Tour. Optional
dinner will precede the Limo Tour, for those who are not stuffed
from the High Tea, that is, and we will have an early-morning
get-together after the Limo Tour.
On Friday, April 27, we'll have our Farewell Gathering in the
evening followed by dancing. This has historically been the
second-largest get-together of our event.
Many others are in the works. We'll have our ever-popular
daily Lunch With Ginger, and occasionally Lunch With Alanna
this year. There will be at least one daily Happy Hour each
day. At least two "art tours" will occur. Several others are
in the works so please watch for details!

Big Sister volunteers needed:
Attention all DLV returnees!
The Big Sister Program is one of our shining stars!
We know that some of you reading this are where you are, in part,
due to a Diva Las Vegas Big Sister.
We would like to ask all of you to please consider volunteering
to be a Big Sister if you have not done so already.
Being a Big Sister does not need to be a high-maintenance
function. You as a Big Sister are free to set limits on exactly
how you help your Little Sister(s) and the amount of time doing
so.
We need Big Sisters in two areas. You can serve in one area or
both.
1. Prior to DLV, correspond with those who are new and need some
advice and reassurance. One-on-one personal support prior to the
event.
2. During DLV. Be available to assist and assure as needed. Some
Big Sisters go as far as to pick up their Little Sisters at the
airport, but things like this are up to you.
The best way to volunteer to be a Big Sister is to fill out the
form on the web. Just go back to that link that was sent to you
right after you registered. (If you've lost or misplaced it, let
us know and we will resend.) Answer a few questions and you're
all set. Alternately, or to ask questions about the Big Sister
Program, e-mail: bigsister@geekbabe.com
Big thanks to Nora for coordinating the Big Sister Program!

Just for fun:
If you're an old hand at Diva Las Vegas, or even if you're a
newcomer who wants to give it a shot, we invite you to take
the 2012 edition of the Diva Las Vegas Trivia Quiz.
It's on line here:
http://www.geekbabe.com/dlv/dlvkwiz4.html
A small but enjoyable reward will be given at DLV to the first
person scoring 100% on their first attempt at this quiz. It's
easier this year, there's a bonus question!
