GREETINGS from Vicki Werkley!
Thanks for all your patience, everyone. This will be really bare bones for now (I'm s'posed to have more info next week). There's an unlikely possibility this event may need to happen the following weekend (Oct. 13-15), but I'll know about that in a few days.

Briefly . . . the place we knew and loved as the Hacienda Hotel is now still in the process of being transformed into TWO essentially "brand-new" hotels! There'll be many changes, which I'll detail in an upcoming post.
$$$$
Yes, as you've guessed, the rates will be a little higher, but Liam Thorpe (Sales Director) and I have been working to get the best deal possible. And now the room price includes a full breakfast buffet! Also, for you flyers, the 24-hr airport shuttle is still free!
Likewise the overall SFC Con Fee (primarily Party event space + Food) will probably have to rise a bit also. As always, I'll do my best to arrange as affordable an event as possible.
We plan on our other traditions: a Friday-night Pizza Party, commemorative T-shirts, the 12th biennial BookNight, and a small charity auction to sponsor our rescued mustang Cachuma Star at the Wild Horse Sanctuary.
It'd be very helpful if you'd bump an email back to me saying "YES/NO/MAYBE I'll attend."
This isn't a commitment. We just want to know how much catering to invest in and how many rooms to block at our better rates.Unfortunately, I won't be able to take time ro respond. I'll just hit REPLY and put THANX in the subject line so you'll know how much I appreciate your finding the time to let me know.
Please make sure all Con-related messages have SFC somewhere in the subject line. Thanks!.
If you have pressing questions---especially if Its something I should deal with in the contract negotiations---try calling me. ALWAYS leave a message if you get the machine, cuz sometimes I just can't get there before it clicks over.
Please spread the word, so all StarFolk know "It's ON!" for 2016. This MAY have to be the last full-fledged SFC, tho some folks have been talking about continuing with smaller gatherings..
Liz Turner will post this message on Facebook for me.
Remember, I don't text, IM, or use any other social media.
Must dash.for now---
