***********2018 CON FEES: *********************************
Wehave tried hard to keep pricing low over the years but we do havesome pre-convention expenses to meet. For that reason we will try towork with a Graduated scale for the convention fees. If you prepayby July 31. you can lock in the 2016 Convention price.
***$130 per person Through July 31, 2018 ***$140 through August 31, 2018, ***$150 after and at the door.
***$220 for two adult family members (^a couple or a parent with a child18 yr./older or ^other adult relatives) ThroughJuly 15, 2018 ***$230 through August 31, 2018, ***$240 after 8/31/18 and at the door. ***“Teen” 13-17 years (with paying adult): $50 ***Kids 12:& under: FREE
Feesmay be prorated for those attending only a portion of events, but,since our main expenses involve the Party the following fees willapply:
***ReunionParty Only (All day Saturday): $100 per adult; $170 per familypair; $40 per “Teen” (13-17yrs) ThroughJuly 31, 2018 $110 ($50 teen) through August 31, 2018, $120 ($60teen) after and at the door.
Unfortunatelythere will be no financial aid is available through the“In-Your-Pocket” Fund (started by the Hays family in 1993) thisyear, which allows some people to pay certain expenses at a laterdate, interest-free (cannot cover hotel or transportation). Thereare simply no funds to subsidize anyone this year.
Thereare a few people who attended but have not paid for the 2016convention. Vicki is going to get me a list and I will be contactingthem to work out some kind of repayment if they wish to attend thisyear.
Inlieu of the IYPF, we will make available a payment plan or creditcard payments, via square or paypal or if you wish a check. You canhave the option of initiating payments by the July 15thdeadline to lock in your earlybird rate and make 3 payments in July,August, and September.
Iwill need an email, method preference and you will be invoiced viapaypal or square or given an address to send payments..

HOTEL:We will be back at the Aloft El Segundo
Thereare roomsat the Fairfield Inn (main bldg. of old Hacienda Hotel) available at$149/night and the Aloft (South Tower of old HH) ---which is nextdoor and where the Con Suite and Party will be--- at $159/night, forking single or two queen beds. The Aloft does not own any roll awaybeds so that it not an option. Please also note that The Aloft isholding its 2016 price for our rooms.
Aword to those who smartly shop around, Certainly, you're free to staysomewhere else, but do compute your travel back-and-forth and yourconvenience when deciding. Also PLEASE do let me know if you'll belodging elsewhere, so I block just the number of rooms we need. We'llpay a penalty for not filling all the rooms I save in a block.
Forthese reasons, I'd greatly appreciate a Really Quick Note with thefollowing info. This is NOT a commitment here, but I'm worried Iwon't block enough rooms.
