Important information on the Sasquatch Summit

Hello Friends! We're looking forward to seeing you in 5 weeks and hope all is well with you and yours.
We are very excited for the Tribute to John Green as we work on finalizing the agenda, the commemorative program and other organizational aspects of the event.
For now, here are some VERY IMPORTANT DEADLINES.
Please try and read through this (another typical 700 word email from Tom) - the most important deadline is March 9th - the last day you can book rooms at the resort at our special group rate. That was a clause in our contract. We'll try and extend it, but the best advice I'd have is BOOK THE ROOM - you can always cancel at no cost until 3 days prior to arrival.
This is certainly going to be an historic weekend. THANK YOU ALL for being a part of it, helping where you can and committing the time, effort and expense to be there!
Like we keep reminding ourselves when things get a little hectic, "this is for John!"
take care,
Tom

TUESDAY, MARCH 8 - Our contract requires us to pay for 100 banquet dinners by March 9th. We are able to add banquet reservations until April 2nd but will only do so upon receipt of payment.

If you have not submitted your payment yet, please do so ASAP. OR email us and let us know when we might expect payment. THANK YOU!

(PAYMENT INFORMATION BELOW)

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9Our group discount room rates must be reserved by March 9th. (see note above) As we get closer to the event date the Resort requests rooms back from our ‘reserved block’ then they put the room rates back up to regular prices. Remember to ask for the Sasquatch Summit’ group rate.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4 – Last chance for colour t-shirts! Falling Rock Productions of Pocatello, Idaho (owned and operated by bigfoot researcher Brandon Tennant) will be producing the commemorative t-shirts. Shirts are $22. Follow the link below and move the cursor over the color boxes to see the names of each shade. We can take special colour orders until Friday morning (March 4nd) at 11 a.m. Pacific. After that, colour choices will be black, white or grey. Pre-ordering and pre-payment is encouraged and will guarantee your size will be available; there will be a very limited number of t-shirts in limited sizes at the event.

RIDE SHARING: This is a great opportunity to get to know other bigfoot enthusiasts better! Two of our speakers and one VIP Guest will be seeking rides from Seattle International and Bellingham Airports in Washington. There are also a few out of state attendees seeking to make arrangements for rides to Harrison Hot Springs from the Seattle airport as well. Thank you in advance if you are willing to share the trip – and share the cost of the trip, too! Normally we wouldn’t encourage you to pick up hitchhikers, but this IS for John Green! Please email Tom Yamarone - tyamarone@pacbell.net . THANK YOU!

Keep checking the website for updates. We are looking forward to seeing you in April!

Lesley.
