ar Peace Corps Honduras Alumni and Friends:
An Organizing Committee h
as planned a Honduran RPCV 2013 reunion in Colorado\; dates are Friday\
, October 11 in Denver and Saturday and Sunday\, October 12 and 13 in Es
tes Park. The Committee is securing lodging by placing a $25 per room
deposit.
We need to gauge the likelihood that you plan or sincerely
hope to join us in October 2013. To this end\, we need to get a good han
dle on the number of people who will be coming and the number of rooms we
will be able to fill at the YMCA Conference Center. Based on response
s to date\, we have reserved the spectacular 100 room lodge called Longs
Peak. This lodge includes a lobby with fireplace and 6 conference rooms t
hat we can use as break out areas. We have also reserved another 40 roo
ms at the Center based on responses. Please note that this does not equat
e to a room reservation for anyone\, each person will need to register fo
r themselves. A website has been established for the event and will prov
ide you with firm room costs\, web links for making reservations in Estes
Park and Denver\, securing transportation\, description of activities an
d more. You can access the website at: www.
The 140 rooms required a $3\,500 investme
nt\; we used the money we received from people to date to cover this cost
. Please note that this money will not go toward actual room reservatio
n costs which means that you will be responsible for paying your room cha
rges in full. Instead\, this money will be used for administrative fees
needed to reserve a dining/party space\, a sound system\, projector\, t
ables/chairs and other costs for the reunion – we will provide a full a
ccounting for all these charges as they are identified. This is the reaso
n we are asking for a minimum $25 fee per person to attend the reunion. For those who a
re willing\, please send this money as soon as you are able. Please note
that while we don't expect a significant increase\, the $25 administrativ
e fee could be adjusted slightly (up or down) as plans become more firm.
You can send the aforementioned administrative fee by check to me at:
