The 2010 REPA Convention commences on November 7, 2010, at the King and Prince Beach and Golf Resort located on St Simon Island just off the coast of Georgia...

We have finalized the Registration Form, its Instructions and the Golf Signup form. They are now available for Downloading on the Registration page of this website.

Of course they will also be in the summer issue of REPArtee,
still set for mailing the first part of July...

However we thought you might be interested in some photos of our Convention location so have placed some below for your enjoyment!

Folks….

This message contains two items about the upcoming REPA Convention…

First we were requested to put the Agenda for the Business Meeting out prior to the Convention, so as to let those attending know what will be discussed… Of course additional items can be added under New Business (#12) at the meeting (2/3 vote required)… At any rate here it is below (note: due to being in the body of the text it may lose some of its alignment)…

Following the Agenda will be a message from Convention Chairman Jim Gardner concerning another matter.

The following message from Convention Chairman Jim Gardner was approved by REPA President Bill Moore…

Conventioneers & Revelers at the K&P,

Just a heads up for all of you who enjoy visiting at the Cocktail Reception each evening:

In order to keep within budget, we are introducing a Host Bar/Cash Bar for all Cocktail Receptions. We will institute a two (2) drink Host Bar limit per attendee each night. Each attendee will be given two coupons for each night (in your registration package). If you want additional drinks, they will be available at our negotiated reduced rate for bar brands. Of course, for those of us with exotic taste, the prices will be at regular hotel bar rates.

If you don’t use both your tickets, you can barter them to a friend who wants more than two drinks.

The Black Market potential for drink coupons will be minimal as the drink coupons will be colored-coded per night, but can be used as long as the bar is open that night. LOST COUPONS WON’T BE REPLACED.

We have an obligation to keep our REPA convention expenses within budget. With our numbers dwindling and costs going up, this seems to be one of the easier ways to help keep us within budget and ensure our convention covers its own expenses with minimal impact on each person’s pocket.

If you have any comments or suggestions, please give me a call or email.

Jim Gardner
REPA Convention Chairman
