Today is the last day to book your hotel room before the unclaimed block of rooms is release back to the public.

This is for the 11th annual Member Gathering, which for 2013 is being held in Colorado Springs, CO - USA, June 27-29, 2013.  For those of you that are not familiar with our annual Gatherings, this is the one time each year we "officially" meet as a group to share experiences during road trips, meals, shopping, sightseeing and just hanging out.  We always have a great time. There are always many stories to tell when it is over. And we never leave hungry!  Even if you have never met anyone from C3VR before, you need to come to a Gathering. Everyone has always had a "first Gathering" and everyone is always made to feel as if they've been there for every one before that!

Every year we move the location of the Gathering to give folks across the country the chance to attend a Gathering that is close to their home.  This year we are in the "Western Region" of the country.  There are 226 C3VR members from the various states there: Colorado: 14, Kansas: 8, Oklahoma: 8, Texas: 62, New Mexico: 3, Arizona: 17, Utah: 4, Idaho: 2, Washington: 27, Oregon: 14, California: 64 and North Dakota: 3.

We currently only have 27 people signed up to attend this gathering. That's it! Only 27!  And many of those folks are not even from the states listed above.  We need a big presence of folks from these states to represent your region!  Next year, we'll be back in the East, and it will likely be too far for many of you to travel. So take advantage and do it this year, or you won't have the chance again until 2016!

This year's agenda was put together by a member who lives in Colorado Springs.  It is great agenda packed with lots of exciting and fun stuff to do! Here's a list: Pikes Peak Cog Railway; Lunch at Garden of the Gods; A tour of the US Air Force Academy; Dinner at Iron Springs Chateau; Cruise to Cripple Creek; Bishops Castle; Rudy's BBQ; Casa Bonita; Shelby American Collection Museum; Savelli's Italian Restaurant, plus all the driving around to get to these great places!  

A full description of the agenda can be found on our signup page.
A link to hotel reservation information can also be found on our signup page.
Registration for the Gathering is Free, however, some of the agenda items require a pre-payment that you'll have to send to one of our Members by June 1st.  Details for that can also be found on the signup page.

Please, don't miss this event!  We want to pack that hotel full of C3VR folks and the lot full of Vettes!  (That being said, you are NOT required to bring your C3 or any Vette.  We just want YOU to be there!) I'll be in a 4-door rental car, since I'm flying in to attend.

One more important point:

There is high demand for rooms in Colorado Springs the weekend of our Gathering. We can reasonably expect that once the unused rooms are unblocked (tomorrow), they will be snatched up by others pretty quickly!  Our goal was to have the entire hotel filled with C3VR members (46 rooms). There are currently only 22 rooms claimed.

With that in mind, if you are currently unsure if you can attend but know you would like to - Book your room right NOW, just in case!  If you later have to cancel, you can do so up to 72 hours before your arrival without penalty.  That being said, I was asked to tell you that if you must cancel your reservation, please try to do so as soon as you know, but no later than June 1st. This is a courtesy to the hotel so they aren't stuck with a bunch of open rooms 3 days before we arrive.

You also do not have to pre-pay for the agenda items until June 1st.  So you can book your room right now, then figure out if you can make it or not by the end of May. Then either send your pre-payment check or cancel your room by June 1st.

I hope this all makes sense. I just want to make it as easy as possible for as many members as possible to be there!

If you have any questions, please let me know by replying to this post.

Thank you for your support, and I hope to see you in June!

Adam, if I'm not mistaken, our Gathering should be in the Midwest next year as we had it in the East last year in Charleston, SC.

You're correct. I probably should have thought about that more before I wrote it. However, I am correct that it will not return to the West until 2016.
