Group Activity Contribution Fee: $1.00 per person. The accumulated fund will be used, for example, to purchase the Thank-You gifts for our Speakers, the administration fees PAYABLE to Meetup.com, a for-profit entity, for keeping our group on an ACTIVE status, etc!! 2. "YES" RSVPs: If you are NOT 100% sure of your attendance after RSVPed "Yes", please change your RSVP to "No" by 6:00pm on Thursday to give other members an opportunity to sign up. A change to RSVP "No" AFTER 6:00 pm is considered a "NO SHOW". A "CONFIRMED" yes by 6:00pm on Thursday is required to secure your seat at the restaurant, please note it on your RSVP. Otherwise, I have to assume that you're not coming. Please help me make it a pleasant event for you and our members with your cooperation!! Thanks!!!! Our No-Show & Crasher Removal Policy -- http://travel.meetup.com/21/boards/view/viewthread?thread=1906092&listpage=20 3. If you'd like to attend a full event, RSVP "NO" indicating "waitlist" and check often to update your RSVP once the space opens up. I'll try to secure more slots for you! :-) 4. Potential Event Crashers: This practice is NOT recommended, as it is NOT fair to those members who follow the RSVP rules. You might risk not having a seat at the event or sitting somewhere else in the venue away from the actual event!!! Also, I would not wish to find your name on the "Event Crashers List" on our Message Board either. So, please "WAITLIST" yourself!! I might be able to open up more slots just for you!! 5. Some great readings -- Enjoy!! http://travel.meetup.com/21/boards/view/viewthread?thread=2748270 http://travel.meetup.com/21/boards/view/viewthread?thread=2651494 http://travel.meetup.com/21/messages/boards/view/viewthread?thread=2937113 6.
