Vancouver Island 2010 Poker Run NSX & S2K

There has been some confusion on the accomodations at Mt Washington. Some apparently have been told that they don't know anything about our event and have been given a variety of different pricing. Also heard that someone was told that they had to book 2 night minimum. That is "nomally" the case up there but in our case all of this has been waived.
To stop the confusion I contacted Mt Washington Management again to have it all explained to me and I am going to cut and paste the response here:
============Start CUT================================

Hi Dave,
That's what I suspected. Pam De Boer does manage some private properties
at the resort, but she has a company called Peak Accommodations, which
is not related to Deer & Bear Lodge. Our booking company (managed by
Cathy) is called Slopeside. Both Cathy & Pam (different Pam) at
Slopeside are perfectly aware of the special rates & conditions that we
discussed. As long as your participants contact them, there will be no
problems whatsoever.
They are best reached as follows:
([email protected]) ([email protected]) or toll
free: 1-877-845-4499
Slopeside is "our" team that manages the majority of both Deer & Bear
Lodges. Please make your participants aware that there are also other
companies that have rooms & suites in these buildings. These other
companies do not offer these special deals. As mentioned, there are many
other booking companies around the resort as well. None of them are
affiliated and do not have these deals except for Slopeside.
Regarding your participant's comment about "double occupancy", he's
actually understanding the term backwards. The $119.00 quoted is for a
one bedroom suite, and the double occupancy means that up to two guests
may stay for that price. It's not $119.00 per person. Should they wish
to add a third guest on the living room pull out, for example, it would
be an additional $15 fee. Again, "Slopeside" will allow your group to
stay one night with no penalty.
As long as this contact info gets to your guests, there will be no issues.
Good luck & keep me posted.
Best,
Robb

============End CUT================================
Hope that clears it up. If anyone did book rooms and didn't get the deal, either cancel and rebook or contact the people above to see what can be done. Mt Washington is really working hard with us to make this happen so please if anyone got bad information, this is the latest word from them, and I appologize for any confusion but I didn't hear about this till just recently.

Just signed on Campus Honda of Victoria as a sponsor. :thumbup:

This means that we now have all the Island Honda Dealerships on line with sponsorship of our event. A big thanks to the Island Dealers :tipwink:

Campus Honda will be one of the Starting Checkpoints to help dispurse the start so we don't have a bunch of cars all in a row. The start will be staggard with two cars leaving every 5-10 minutes. Each car will go to either Campus Honda or another starting checkpoint to get their first cards..., then on thier way up the island to the next checkpoints. This is for two reasons, one is to get seperation between the cars so checkpoints won't be overwhelmed with cars (remember that this is thier regular Saturday business day), and to include all Island Honda Dealers in the event as they are all very eager to help out.

Campus has donated to us:
$500.00 cash donation
Some Service gift certificates in the $200.00 range
Some Parts gift certificates in the $200.00 range
Some other assorted goodies as gifts.

Thanks to Campus Honda and all the Island Honda Dealers.

So far the payment to pre-registration is at 17% and the event is one month away. We cannot pay for this event as we go because of the dinner and staff. I know I keep saying that. Please it is imparative that you get your tickets within the next two weeks. Please contact me if you are having any issues or can't make the event.
We have some wonderful prizes/gifts with thanks to all our sponsors. It truely will be a good time. Best of all it all goes to a great cause. Please purchase your tickets and help me to make this a success!

Im in for the Cruise on Sunday as I cannot make any other stuff Ill bring my buddy with his NSX too
 
Hey sorry to be a pain again, but participation is down on the poker run although we have lots of really great gifts/prizes and cash. It is my intention to attempt to send two less fortunate kids to summer camp but I can't do it without your help. Please at least take a read of the thread here and the web page http://vipokerrun2010.elocas.com. I need your help to make this a success. The entire event can be done in one day and you could be back in your beds by Saturday evening. OR you can stay up with us at Mt Washington resort as they have offered us a fantastic discount. Poker Run, Silent Auction, Awards Dinner, Evening social, brunch the next day and a cruz back to the ferries...., Great prizes, great sponosors, and best of all great cars and people.
Please if you can take a read and sign up, help out some less forutunate kids and meet some other people that respect thier vehicles the way you do.

I need you're help as this event is only one month away and dinner has to be paid in advance. $110.00 for driver and passenger and $75.00 for single driver. That pays for everything including dinner (ok not your room if you stay).

Help me to make this a success.

I want to offer this to anyone attempting to sell items here. I am more than willing to put up a ForSale table at the event. If anyone wants to bring some things over that they want to sell and have not, then bring them and I will allow you to put them on a table with your name and price. I will do this for free for anyone that wants the table, please just fire me a PM letting me know so I have an idea as to how many tables I might need.

If you sell your stuff perhaps you can throw a donation towards the charity...,

Anyway I thought it might be a good idea, that way people can see what your selling. If it is too big, take some pictures and put those on the table...,

good Idea, yes/no ???

The Honda Way will also be hosting a BBQ Friday July 23rd and Saturday July 24th for a donation (free to S2Ki members). They would like to be a gathering spot on both days for any cars coming over to the island. Plan to meet up with others at The Honda Way, have some food, get some service and come on over.

Mo on the S2Ki site is arranging the meeting spot working with Sokha so if you want any information or would like to have Mo setup a mini meet at The Honda Way either day so you can meet up and come to the island as a group, contact him or myself (Mo - Mo-S2K).

I will be building the schedule and all this weekend and will post it on the web site http://vipokerrun2010.elocas.com. Should have that done by Monday. I will post here when completed.

I have started printing off the tickets for the event...,

And special thanks to John and Donna (Mid Isle S2K) as they are assisting me in the maps.

One thing I would like to ask is we have the facilities up at Mt Washington till midnight. We need some music. Does anyone has a player that you can just plug an iPod into, so anyone that has an iPod can volunteer the use of thier IPod and that way we get a good variety of music.

Let me know if you can accomodate? I could always bring up my laptop and some speakers..., Anyway if anyone has something better and they are willing to bring it along. please let me know.

Thanks again everyone!!!

On a good note for you Islanders: Campus Honda just threw me 2 x $200.00 service department gift certificates !!!

Good Stuff !!!

5 more days to pickup your tickets.
 
People of the mainland. I have moved the dinner at Mt Washington up to 6:15. This provides plenty of time to make it back to Vancouver on the same day as the Poker Run so you can come over in the morning and head back that night. No need for a hotel.

Trips to vegas, trip for F1 race training, Dyno time, lots of sponsorship and prizes and gifts and CASH prizes as well.

If you can at all make it, please do help me and help the kids and have a great time.

I'm a little disappointed in the participation for this event from the mainland. We have almost as many coming up from Washington State as we do coming from Vancouver. Come on, one week left to sign up
 
Need a commitment by Tomorrow and money by Thursday for this event. Still have about 25% of you that have not contacted me back about this event. Let me know what is up.
 
Dave from Courtney Honda has just thrown in some Honda Jackets to go with the bluetooth units and the GPS units that he has already donated to us...,

Thanks Dave and Island Honda!
