Is this a retreat/conference. I am always game for a trip down to Savannah. Could you post the details. I may just convince some of my DS Divas to make the trip with me.
I've been feeling beachy lately, a day at Tybee may satisfy my sand cravigng til my cruise in May.
If you have hotel group rates, please post that info too.
Anybody else game for a road trip? We can make this our April Meet N Greet for the Board. It would be nice to have something down there , so the south GA people can participate for a change. Just too dang bad I can't pig out at Lady and Son's or Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House:-(

This is a very nice area with plenty of hotels and places to eat and near the outlet mall. We normally stay here to avoid the high costs of the River Street hotels.

Saturday 4-24-10 Meeting all day in hotel conference room. They will give the full agenda
when you get there. I am assuming they will have diffeent activities/speakers
Saturday Night 4-24-10 Savannah Smiles Piano Bar 10:00pm
Sunday 4-25-10 Lunch at Lady & Son's (Paula Dean's) - optional
Cost: from what I am reading it is FREE, but they have opened it up for donations to cover renting the meeting room at tthe hotel.
If anyone has more info on this please share with the board. I am really looking forward to it.

There is no cost for going. You do however have to pay for your hotel, and food while here Saturday we are hoping to set something up for people that live in the area as well as those coming - these rooms have a kitchen like set up, so people are welcome to make things, and we can have a Pot Luck Lunch and possibly dinner. (this will save on cost of food)
So far we have about 26 people planned on going, and 60+ people have no responded, although 50 or so have said maybe. So we are hoping and planning on a good turn out!
There has been word of a possible speaker - Dont know who or any details. I know they were trying to see if RUDY from Style tv would be able to come - Highly doubt it - but wouldnt that be FUN!
anyways - I will keep people posted as much as I can.
The details above given are all correct, the room is discounted from 108 to 89, which isnt bad and the rooms look nice!
But- as for cost, Food outside of the Hotel you have to pay for (Breakfast buffet free from hotel) and the hotel cost you have to pay for. But for the get together and the conference room, cost is covered, but donations are more than welcome!
Thanks!!
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE
