Please read this message closely if you plan to attend the November 7th REPA Convention!

We have exceeded our contractually guaranteed number of rooms! However the King and Prince is continuing to honor the REPA rate of $125.00 (free parking) at this time. We do not know how much longer they will do this! Since the hotel is smaller than ones we are used to it is possible that they may run out of rooms at the REPA rate well before the start of the convention... Therefore we urge anyone considering attending the Convention to immediately call the hotel at 1-800-342-0212 and make their reservations!

Also we have placed an additional message concerning two matters on the Convention News page of this website... Please go to it via the Convention News button on the left side of this screen...

Follows below an important message for those planning to attend the November 7th REPA Convention... It is from Jim Gardner, our Convention Chairman

REPA Convention 2010 News Bulletin:

For those who want to come early to enjoy the King and Prince Golf and Beach Resort please make note of the fact that while the K&P is glad to offer REPA convention attendees the REPA rate for early arrivals based on availability, because our convention starts on Sunday we have run into a conflict with their long standing procedure for booking weekends (Friday and Saturday).

It seems that some of our members want to come in on Saturday, one day early. The King and Prince has a policy of selling weekend (Friday and Saturday)packages only. We have made a compromise with them. If you wish to come in on Saturday, they will book your room for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, but will put you on a wait list for early arrival on Saturday. When the convention draws close and they have not sold the Friday/Saturday packages out, they will call you and offer you the Saturday early arrival at the REPA rate.

Important Note: They will be happy to immediately offer you an early arrival for Friday and Saturday night at the REPA rate if you are willing to come two days early instead on one.

There is no conflict with staying one day late instead of two because it does not fall on the weekend.

Remember that early arrivals and late departures at the REPA rate is based on availability. Also remember that we are getting a great hotel at a fantastic deal in one of their most popular seasons.

Please let me know if you have any trouble.

Best Regards

Jim Gardner
Convention Chairman

Folks, we are pleased to report that the summer 2010 issue of REPArtee was mailed yesterday, June 30th, a day or so before our "First Week in July" promise!

We certainly hope all who have recently changed addresses or went to a summer home have given us their correct mailing address... It makes our life sooooooo much better!

Editor Jim

Great News!

For those with winter or summer homes and especially for your Editor!

Our Treasurer and Keeper of the Database, Jerry Frost, has been working on a program that will enable him to keep TWO (2) Address of Record for those needing same· He reports that it is now up and running. So effective immediately those with winter or summer homes (or any others who might have two addresses and who would benefit from this new program) should contact Jerry (or your editor) and give us the below information·

(1)Your primary Address of Record including telephone number and E-mail address if desired·
(2) Also your secondary Address of Record including telephone number if one there. This would be the summer or winter home for most folks· (3) Now this is very important so make sure you have it down pat! We need to know the Date you will be going to and returning from your secondary Address of record.

Jerry says that when the above is entered into the Database he will have the ability each time a publication mailing list is generated, twice a year on odd years and three times a year on even years (when we also mail the new roster) to have either your primary or secondary address printed on your publication. Now also remember, you have the ability to change any address or date any time you wish. Just contact either Jerry or myself with those changes. We
will enter the information and that will become your NEW primary and secondary Address of Record (along with the dates you go from one to the other) and remain so until you change it with us again· You can make the changes by telephone, US Mail (our addresses are in the REPA Roster and REPArtee) or E-mail·
