Welcome and updates:

Welcome to those who just registered or just joined the list.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

Please be sure to address questions and concerns sooner rather than
later in the process, as we are now less than one month from the big
event and the pace of things will quicken between now and show time.
. . . . .

If you have not registered to attend the big event, you will want to
do so as soon as possible. You will need to be registered by March 3
(that's tomorrow) in order to get in on the first round of activity
sign-up. See details below.

You may register on line here:

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

Registration, as always, is free!

Activity Sign-Up begins this week:

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 TUESDAY MORNING 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.

After you sign up for activities, 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.

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

Activity Highlights:

Between now and right before our big event, we will regularly feature
brief write-ups of our planned activities - Activity Highlights.

These will be made available in a few locations, including the DLV
Discussion Forum, which is on line here:

viewforum.php?f=2

Activity Highlights will first appear in the Forum and marked as
"sticky" so they always appear toward the top, until we run short of
"real estate" on that first screen. They will also appear in a separate
Activity Highlight section on the web here:

viewforum.php?f=16

You can also read them if you are subscribed to the email version of the
DLV Discussion Forum, and you can also read them on the DLVEGAS Yahoo
group.

Activity highlights which are currently on line include:

* The Australian Bee Gees show
* Big Lift Bar Crawl
* Bowling at The Orleans
* Model Railroad and Railfan Social
* Carmine's Restaurant dinner
* High Roller at the Linq
* Golf

Final Attendee Information:

On or about March 24 we will be rolling out our Final Attendee

showing all activity locations. The other will be individual activity
maps as links from some versions of the schedule.

* Detailed Schedules - Several versions, including plain-jane ugly
printed text versions, a phone-friendly tabular version, and a custom
schedule that has what you want on it and nothing else. These include
such things as specific activity locations, where in the venue to meet
the group, dress suggestions, Coordinator phone numbers, parking notes,
etc.

* The Bare Minimum - A "quick-start guide" to DLV.

feature this year is a means to quickly suspend messages should the
number of messages become annoying to you.

One reminder is that we will not be handing out any paper material such
as maps and schedules at the event. You will want to print out what you
think you need and bring it with you. There will be several versions of
the main schedule available for viewing on line and for printing.
