Diva Las Vegas is less than two months away! Big thanks go out to our
DLV volunteers who have put together a superb schedule of activities
this year!

Please do not procrastinate on booking your hotel room! Rates are on
the rise and hotels are filling up!

One very important note about schedules. We've had a few changes
recently, some of them being significant. Our schedule is still under
development and changes will occur. Please do not make any
non-reversible arrangements based on our working schedules.

Lots of discussion lately on the Diva Las Vegas Discussion Forum. You
can take part in this here:

Activity updates:

Here are some notes on our schedule for DLV 2014.

There are no "off days" this year. Likewise there is no "slow start"
this year. We start with a big bang and end with a bigger bang.

Please see complete schedule below for items not discussed.
. . . . .

We will have three recurring daily activities this year, Katie's
Koffee Korner in the morning, Lunch with Ginger or Aejaie in the
early afternoon, and late evening dancing.
. . . . .

On Sunday we'll have the "Bar Rescue Tour" during the afternoon. This
will be chauffeured, so there will be no concern about drinking and
driving.

For Sunday evening, we will have two "tracks", one with those who may be
new to public exposure in mind. For this track we'll have happy hour and
dinner in a mainstream but very comfortable and welcoming bar and grill
on west Sahara followed by Karaoke and socializing in a
recently-renovated local lounge.

We'll have another track centered around downtown with several happy
hour and dining options followed by the Scavenger Hunt, which was a big
hit in 2012 and 2013.

On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday we will have instructional makeover
sessions, one on one, between you and a makeup artist, at both the
beginner and intermediate levels.
. . . . .

On Monday afternoon we will have a Wig Seminar and a Beading Party in a
local lounge.

Of special note Monday will be our New Attendee Welcome and Orientation,
held just prior to the big evening activities.

We'll have our big blow-out Welcome Celebration on Monday evening, which
will include a group photo, followed by late-evening dancing.
. . . . .

The annual Diva Las Vegas Invitational Golf match will happen on Tuesday
morning. This will be at a different course this year since our usual
course is under renovation. Golfers of all backgrounds and skill levels
are encouraged to participate.

Our annual Art Tour will also happen on Tuesday.

Tuesday will be our Eating Out Night, dining in smaller groups with
quite a variety to choose from this year.

Several after-dinner activity options will be offered.
. . . . .

Wednesday features Pistol and Rifle Shooting and Pole Dance Instruction
during the day.

The big highlight of Wednesday, of course, will be the Night Of The
Soiled Doves, a revived and updated version of a former favorite, with
no capacity limit!
. . . . .

On Thursday we'll have hiking at Red Rock Canyon (low-impact
recreational hiking) in the morning.

The Featured activity of Thursday will be the EHM Fantasy Ball with
dancing, a costume contest, a swap meet, and other features.
. . . . .

On Friday we'll feature Fantastic Indoor Swapmeet shopping in the
morning and mainstream makeover sessions (expanded capacity - get ready
for the big party!) in the afternoon.

Friday evening, of course, will be our big blowout Farewell Gathering
followed by late-evening dancing (but wait! there's more!) and then
late-late evening (and morning) clubbing!
. . . . .

Please stay tuned for more activity updates!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Things to come:

Our general (open) registration starts February 15. That's next weekend!
. . . . .

Our next big milestone will be Activity sign-up, which will open in
early March. This is where you tell us which of the many optional
activities you want to do.

Activity sign-up will be covered in detail in a future mailing this
month.
. . . . .

During the week prior to our big event we will send out what we call the
Large Final Mailing to all registered attendees.

This will consist of schedules, maps, sign-up summaries, and other
information of interest to attendees.
. . . . .

Reporting in:

Unlike other events, we will not have any permanent "office" or other
staffed common facility. All you will need to do is show up at any DLV
activity. As long as you are on the roster, you will be admitted.

We will be doing check-in and name tag distribution a bit differently
this year. Name tags will be available at all of our major gatherings
and various smaller activities marked on the final schedule.

Check in (where you are officially marked as "present") will be
available at many activities this year and any of several volunteers
will be able to check you in and mark you as present.
. . . . .

Activity reminders:

If you have a text-capable cell phone on a well-connected domestic
carrier, or if you have e-mail access, you will be able to set up
activity reminders to be sent to your phone or e-mail account.

You will be able to do this from the link that was sent to you shortly
after you registered. You will be able to set reminder messages for
any time from 15 minutes to two hours prior to the activity start.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Big Sister volunteers needed:

We are actively soliciting for Big Sister volunteers, as we are short
several Big Sisters at this time.

Please consider helping a new DIVA attendee; it will make the experience
more rewarding for them, and you.

Please either signup via the registration update screen on the DIVA
website or by sending an email to: bigsister@geekbabe.com
