Welcome and updates:

Welcome to those who just registered or just joined our mailing list.

If you recently joined, please review the recent back mailings, which
are on line here:

viewforum.php?f=4

There's still plenty of time to get in on things, but if you want to
get in on the first round of Activity Sign-Up, you will need to be
registered by this coming Monday at the latest.

You can register for the event on line here:

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

As the date of our event draws closer, it becomes more and more
important to raise any questions or concerns as soon as possible, as
things happen quickly and the pace quickens more and more as the date
approaches!

If there's something you don't understand, a particular need you have,
or any concern you may have, please let us know ASAP. You can simply
reply to this mailing.

After Activity Sign-Up, the next major milestone will be the publishing
of the Final Attendee Information. The high spots of this have been
outlined in previous mailings (see archive link above) and will be
greatly detailed in mailings to come.

The Final Attendee Information will be coming out during the week prior
to DLV 2020.
. . . . . . . . . .

As of Friday morning we have a total of 177 individuals signed up to
participate. This includes 31 SOs, which is an increase over our SO
count for recent years.

Early predictions for an actual show-up count appear to be converging
in the 150-ish range. If this number holds, it will be about a 14%
increase from what we saw in 2019.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Activity Sign-Up starts this week:

Sometime during this coming week, everyone holding a valid registration
for Diva Las Vegas 2020 will receive, via email, an invitation to sign
up for activities.

At this time we're still busy dotting Is, crossing Ts, and tying up some
loose ends, so we do not exactly when this will occur, but it will most
likely be toward the middle of next week.

If you are registered for DLV 2020 and do not receive your invitation to
sign up for activities by Friday, March 6, at the very latest, please
write in (email dlv@divalas.vegas or simply reply to this mailing) and
let us know.

Most of the activities on our schedule are "No sign-up, just show up"
in nature, meaning all that you need to do to participate is to be a
registered DLV attendee and show up at the time and place.

However, some of them do require such things as a heacount, an advance
sign-up, and in some cases a pre-payment or additional action such as a
ticket purchase. You sign up for these at Activity Sign-Up time which
will begin next week.

Please be watching for your Activity Sign-Up email!

Additional volunteers needed:

We are in need of a few additional volunteers to help out with DLV 2020!

Specifically, we're looking for individuals to coordinate a few fill-in
mostly simple additional activities.

Volunteering for and successfully coordinating any of the following will
qualify you for voting status in the DLV Volunteer Group for the coming
two years.

Our greatest need is for dining activities on Saturday, April 4. We
would like to have at least one lunch and at least one dinner time
dining option on the schedule.

These can be at places you choose, and can be very simple if you like.
For a minimalist approach, just name a place and agree to be there.
Divide the group up and take available tables. No "heavy lifting" or
formality.

You could, if you want, get a headcount (via Activity Sign-Up) and make
a reservation. That is strictly your option.
. . . . .

We would also like to see one more dinner option on Friday evening, as
the one option on the schedule cannot hold everyone and will most likely
fill to capacity shortly after Activity Sign-Up opens.

Again, it can be very simple if you like. Just name a place and agree
to be there to welcome the others and direct traffic.
. . . . .

On Monday and Friday evenings we are in need of volunteers to host(ess)
a "quiet" common gathering as an option for those who want to get
together and socialize but don't care for the "louder" dancing option
on the schedule.

We're suggesting the Garden Bar at the Flamingo for these, but if you
volunteer, they can be at an alternate location of your choosing.

These ones are easy! Just agree to be there and welcome the others.
That's all there is to it!
. . . . . . . . . .

If you are interested in helping out and wish to coordinate any of the
above activities, please email dlvorg@divalas.vegas and let us know
which items you are interested in.

Thanks for your consideration.

DLV updates:

The big news is that everything is finalized for our second major
gathering on Thursday evening of DLV week!

This will occur at Hamburger Mary's, mostly as originally planned, and
will include happy hour, dinner, Diva Bingo, social time, and the Drag
Show.
. . . . .

Individual makeover sessions will once again be available at Bare Plus
Beauty (also known as Bare Escentuals and Bare Minerals) in the North
Outlet Center.

These will be one-on-one sessions with you and a make-up artist, and
they will be willing to spend a meaningful amount of time with you
demonstrating products and technique.

They have been working with the DLV group since 2010 and have been
highly-rated each year on our post-event survey.
. . . . .

The Hair Ladies will be back for a Wig Seminar on Monday of DLV week.
This year, this will be done in a room at the Flamingo.

Nail sessions will also be available, and details will appear in the
Final Attendee Information.
. . . . .

The steakhouse dining option on Tuesday has been finalized for Ruth's
Chris at Harrah's, just prior to EHM and the RuPaul show.
. . . . .

Pickleball has been added to the Tennis Tournament on Wednesday.
. . . . .

Happy hour and Dinner at the Tilted Kilt at the Linq has been added
as a dining option on Wednesday.
. . . . .

Lunch With Cami on Friday will be at the Yardhouse at the Linq.
