Official Announcement - Rendezvous 2012

[Merlin the Elder]

I was actually being somewhat facetious, Lady Spicer  but, Nim and I have gotten to where we prefer taking the extra time.  We're also still miffed about having the TSA stealing things from our luggage. I won't put up with the aggravation of flying anymore.

[Lady Spicer]

I always forget about the thievery these days!

So is the countdown on for you 2?

[Merlin the Elder]

Let's see... which countdown? Several in progress at the moment: Scarby Open Weekend, Scarby RenNew Weekend, Scarby Close Weekend, OkRF & Spirit of Magic tucked in there somewhere between 2 and 8 of Scarby, then there's RenDezvous which is, by the way, a mere 241 days, 8 hours, 55 minutes, and 45 seconds away...

[Molden]

...and counting! 

[Lady Spicer]

Well, I am working on the countdown to your renewal!  Any more news for us peeps attending?

[Lady Spicer]

Happy Day!

Got a note today about the need to use expiring points from my US Bank Flexperks rewards (they ended the program).  Had enough points in there to get 2 airline tickets to NC at $350 and a free rental car!

So excited to have things falling into place for this fall!

Now to see if there is a way to get our hotel for free.

Well done! That's quite a deal!

Looking at the Hilton site, the Cornelius NC Hampton can be had for minimal HHonors points... 15 minutes from faire, but it would mean "free" lodging for the weekend, and still have plenty of points left for other trips.  It's a few minutes further away from the pub, but that's fine...   Anyone familiar with the area? Anyone else planning to stay there?

got ya in the other thread, but for those following this thread, the area is safe and the usual mixture of hotels, fast food and small shopping areas you would expect off an interstate exchange. Its a nice central locatoin that will get you anywhere you wish to go in a nice easy drive. If its available for the points I would suggest you go for it!

So... Molden & I have been working with a local artisan to design and create this year's Rendezvous pin! 

Tada... the finished product!  The pin is 2 1/2" X 3".  The pins will cost $10 and can be picked up at CRF.  A donation will be made to the Hounds of East Fairhaven for each pin purchased.
