: Those of you who have read all the Gathering info and lots of the recent posts about the event are probably starting to get an idea of just how special this year's Gathering is going to be. One of the things that is gonna add a whole lot of interest is our little "encampment" on the grounds of Mohicanland Central. The Geneva has been very accommodating to us in allowing this use of their property. They are really not a campground at all, but since we will have the whole place to ourselves and there IS a 4-acre yard out back, they agreed to let us have a few tents there. The fact that they are not set up as a campground DOES, however, pose one or two small problems for our "boys" who will be tenting there. Like no showers! There is a restroom available to them near the entrance to the Conference Room, but it does not have a shower, so I'm hoping that a couple of our generous attendees will help us out, so I don't have to try sudsing down Uncle Quasi in the swimming pool after a couple o' days! ;o)
: Seriously, I believe I am safe in saying that we will have plenty of folks who will let our campers use the shower in their own rooms at some point during the Gathering. (I AM safe in saying that, aren't I?) I would gladly volunteer the shower in MY room, but with 7 of us gals taking turns with it, I don't know how often it will be available!
: There's another thing I want to remind folks about, and which I will probably try to do an email about later on to RE-remind you: I will not be cashing the checks you sent me right away. I have found it is easier to hold on to them until we are a little bit closer to Gathering time. Makes for easier record keeping, and easier refunds (bite my tongue!) So don't worry if your check doesn't clear for awhile. But DO make sure there are still funds in your account to cover it, because at some point, rest assured it WILL be deposited! ;o) And I will try to let everyone know a few days before I am ready to do that, just as an extra reminder.
: And lastly, I am leaving town tomorrow (see what yesterday did to me!) for a couple days. I'll be back on Monday, but if you try to reach me between early tomorrow morning and late Monday afternoon, you will have no luck. DO NOT WORRY if you are writing me about room accommodations. No one else is booking them while I'm gone, and when I get back on Monday, all requests for space will be handled IN THE ORDER in which they came in. As of now, we have 41 spaces left to fill, and there is something of each kind left, except for the two efficiencies, which are both taken. So on Monday, I will surely be able to find a spot just for YOU.
: Thanks for all the great emails I've gotten over the last 24 hours, and all the excitement and support for our 4th Gathering. It's really getting me psyched up all over again!
