Subject: Acoustic Getaway Report with Special Events Addenda to Board - February 2019

Board,

Registration opens on Valentine’s Day, 12:05 a.m.

Indications are that many members who would not attend Getaway under Camp Bernie conditions will attend Getaway at the new, more-comfortable, Stony Point Center site. However, we wary due to disruptions in date, place and price. This caution is being addressed with our strongest publicity outreach ever. The goal is to sell out as usual, but we are in new marketing territory We are considering ways to ensure that regulars do not get closed out if too many first-timers register early.

The Slambovian Underground, an acoustic trio subset of the Falcon Ridge headliners, will perform our Sunday Sundae - the final set of the weekend. Concert-only tickets will be made available. This may be a source of newcomers for the full weekend.

This link is for the report to the board. Please don’t share it.

A public link will be distributed when registration opens Then share it everywhere, all the time.
