UPDATES
Thursday announcements
April 14th, 2016
Great job today everyone. That was a lot of gymnastics, so tomorrow we will be taking a day off. Here are announcements:
1. Once you have arrived in your hotel room, please text me your room number. I will post this on the Facebook page and the website for your reference over the next few days. Make sure that you have also informed your roommates of your room number if not everyone has yet arrived.
2. For the WiFi, try using your own last name, as all the reservations are linked. If that doesn't work, use Lammers. If you're still having problems, you will have to contact the front desk.
3. Please do not use this page to make plans. We are trying to keep this page for important updates only. You can use Hashtag if you would like to plan other activities.
4. We have paid $150 in incidentals for each room in advance. Please keep your room clean and damage-free. Also, the mini fridge is NOT for storing personal items. That will also incur a charge.
5. There is a 24/7 party room in the hotel for NAIGC use. The Golden State Room is on the second floor. Alcohol is NOT allowed in the party room. There will be a $15 charge made by the hotel for every open bottle.
6. If you would like to go out tonight, MidTown Barfly is a 18+ dance club that is only a 10 min walk away. There will probably be a cover, so bring cash. The club is open until 2 am.
7. We will be leaving for the zoo tomorrow at 11 am. It will be a 60 min walk. If you would prefer to make other transportation plans, you are welcome to do so yourself. There is $11.75 admission fee. We will leave the zoo around 3 pm to head to Old Sacramento. If you would prefer to meet at Old Sacramento, text me tomorrow for specific details on arrival times. Lastly, we will be having dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory at 7 pm tomorrow.
8. If you have any problems, please text me at 847-804-8923.
