: : : : Hey! Is payment by cash (or check) only or are credit cards accepted? And if it's cash only, are installments accepted? Since we are virgin Mohicans, I want to make sure I have everything ready at the sound of the gun!
Cash, check, money orders only!!! Sorry! As for installments, well, yes & no.
No, in that you must pay for each "package" in full at the time you make your reservation. Yes, in that you need not reserve all packages at the same time.
This ought to make more sense to you after you see the online forms. There'll be a little form mail thing, similar to the surveys, that you'll need to fill out. That tells us which of the 4 different items you have signed up for and will help us maintain a list of all attendees for group mailing and Program Guide purposes. Then, there'll be 4 individual sign-up forms. Each one is separate from the others and can be signed up for individually. They are:
1 - Chimney Rock Park, with or without the group accommodations
2 - The Friday night potluck & concert, with or without the hoseback riding
3 - Movie theater tickets
4 - Commemorative T-Shirts (not yet available)
Obviously, we'd very much like you to sign up for everything as soon as you possibly can, the main reason being that we, in turn, need to pay the corresponding facilities. The only one that's a real rush, as far as YOU are concerned (unless you're dead-set on a particular sized room) is the theater tickets. We've pretty much decided to allow the Gathering to grow as large as need be in order to fill the lodge ... though we may chicken out on that in the end. The movie theater, however, is another story. 80, or a few more ... maybe ... and that's it. So, IF the Gathering were to reach, say, 100 attendees, as many as 20 would be barred, voluntarily or involuntarily, from the movie. At least that's how it stands at this moment.
Did I jumble it all miserably, Theresa? Or, are you with me?
Anyway, you can reserve your CRP/accommodation package, with full payment, and then the next pay check reserve the Friday events package, in full, and so on.
OR, you can receive all the pain in one shot and be done with it!
