Come
to the East Coast in 2006!
For our 2006 convention, we will be returning to the Grey's eastern
home in Lackawaxen, PA. This will be the third time our convention
is held here. This year, we will be deviating from our normal operating
methods - rather than having our convention headquarters at a local
hotel, our hosts will be the Woodloch
Pines Resort, a full service resort. The resort offers meals
as part of their lodging packages, and offer many extracurricular
activities, such as swimming, hiking, bicycling, archery, and much
more. See below for details on how to make reservations at the Woodloch
Pines Resort.
Lackawaxen 2006 will be another first for the Society. We will get special tours of the Zane Grey Museum Home and Rangers will guide us on walks in the areas where Zane Grey hiked, hunted and fished until 1918. A tentative agenda follows:

Accommodations at Woodloch Pines

We will be staying
at probably a most unique and comfortable East Coast mountain resort
for families and groups very similar to ours. In June 2006 there
will be about 500 other guests at Woodloch
Pines (see, www.woodloch.com
for more photos and a gtourh). As you may recall from our presentation
in Utah last year, we will be able to encourage those other guests
at Woodloch to join our group and participate in activities like
the book sales, etc. Having all glocalh activities will give us
more free time to talk with each other socially.
But, the catch is that the other 500 guests are
families who have made a return reservation the year before and
keep doing so year after year. As soon as they arrive in June
2005, they will make reservations for June 2006. Thus, we need
to establish ourselves early to ensure rooms for all our Society
members.
Woodloch has kindly offered us the special opportunity
to make a tentative gno obligationh reservation before June
2005 for the Lackawaxen Convention in June 2006. It is especially
important to make reservations at the Woodloch
Pines gResorth as those rooms are scarce. The Woodloch Springs
gGuest Homesh (much like a large cottage with separated, individual
bed rooms and bathrooms) will be a bit more available after June
2005. These two types of accommodations and the options within
each type are described elsewhere in this presentation and at
the Web Site. My own preference is for the gResorth as definitely
the best value for money.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Convention activities and dining facilities are being
planned to be at the gResorth. As the gGuest Homesh are about
1.5 miles away, transportation from the gGuest Homesh to the gResorth
will be in your own or shared automobile, or by mini bus at a
few Woodloch designated times each day.
I encourage you to sign-up for June 2006 early,
as this gunusualh procedure will benefit our Society by ensuring
that our group gets the maximum number of rooms together at the
Woodloch
Pines gResorth.
Reservations

Simply, call (800) 453-8263 to speak with
a Woodloch representative.
Make your reservation for the gResorth (unless
you are sure you want to share a gGuest Homeh with other ZGWS
friends) and give the pertinent information requested. You will
receive a confirmation letter in due course. You can give your
$100 deposit at that time, or in the alternative, in March 2006
you will be automatically charged a gdeposith of $100 and receive
another confirmation letter. That $100, even if given at the time
of initial reservation, will be refundable up until June 2006
if you change your mind later.
In other words, Woodloch
Pines is offering us
the special opportunity to reserve rooms at the gResorth AHEAD
of the other people who will begin doing so in June 2005. If you
act now, this will ensure a core number of you get rooms at the
gResorth and will also open up more possibilities for other, newer
Society members to sign up a bit later or make changes later.
If you havenft missed a Convention in years and expect to continue
your consecutive record, please sign up now.
REMEMBER, this early, tentative registration
procedure will help make the advance planning for the 2006 Convention
a success for everyone.
If you have any questions, please feel
free to call Fawn Glasgow at Woodloch
Pines at the above number,
Colette Fulton at (845) 534-2664, or me, Henry Nardi, at (570)
296-4942.
Thanks, Henry Nardi
