IMPORTANT -- PLEASE READ: Georgeann asked me to advise participants about the Flying Flags GROUP reservation policy:

1. Your credit card will be charged for the first night of your stay AT THE TIME YOU MAKE YOUR RESERVATION. The balance will be charged when you arrive and check in.

2. In addition, you must cancel two weeks prior to the first day of the rally (on or before Thursday, September 20, 2007) to receive a refund of the first night's charge.

If you have any questions about the reservation policy, be sure to discuss them with Georgeann when you call her.

************************************************************************************************

As I did last year, I am fronting the group deposit to hold a block of premium sites. My deposit is subject to Flying Flags' cancellation policy and is therefore for a limited time.

To assure I receive my refund of deposit money, I will cancel the hold , and release any unreserved sites back to the park, within the terms of the Flying Flags cancellation policy.

Reservations made after I cancel the hold, or after the entire block of sites is reserved, will then be subject to availability and parking with the group will not be guaranteed.

To assure you secure a site with the group, please make your reservation with Flying Flags, ASAP.
