Post subject:	NECON 33: Letter from the Chairwoman
Good afternoon, Posting a Necon-related email that was just sent out by our esteemed Chairwoman. To re-emphasize the second paragraph, this letter was sent to ALL REGISTERED CAMPERS; therefore, if you registered and did not receive it (or don't see your name on the include attendees list), PLEASE CONTACT Sara Calia at [email protected] immediately. Also, for anyone who hasn't registered yet, there are still slots available, so again, reach out to Sara today and join the fun! ----- Dear Campers, You are receiving this letter because you have officially registered for Camp Necon. At the end of this email you will see the most updated campers list. If you know of someone that should be on the list and does not appear please contact me ASAP. Please read the following carefully as there is a lot of important information you don’t want to miss. Following are the directions to Roger Williams for those of you that will be driving. If you are flying in or taking a train or bus, please let us know. We’ll be more than happy to pick you up at the airport (T.F. Green) or at the bus station (Bonanza or Greyhound in Providence) or at the train station (Amtrak in Providence). If you need a ride from any of those places on Thursday or Friday, drop me an e-mail ([email protected]) or give me a call at (401) 365-5740 and we’ll arrange to pick you up. Please make sure you have contacted me before July 16 to ensure we’re there for you. Also with the increase in gas prices and our volunteers doing the pick up/drop off it would be appreciated if you gave them a few dollars for their kindness. Please note we will be doing runs throughout the day. We might not be able to get you as soon as you arrive but will do our best to make it in a timely fashion. Please look for someone holding a NECON sign at your pick up location. From Boston, Massachusetts and points north: Take Route 93 South to Route 24 South to Fall River. From 24 bear right onto Route 195 West to Exit 8A (Tiverton/Newport) where you will continue on Route 24 South for approximately seven miles. Take Mt. Hope Bridge/Bristol exit. Bear right off the exit and take first right onto Anthony Road. Bay Point Inn and Conference Center will be your first driveway on the right. From Albany, New York and points west: Take Route 87 to Route 90 East (Mass Turnpike). Take Route 146 South to Route 95 South to Providence, Rhode Island. Take exit 19 to Route 195 East towards Fall River/Cape Cod. Continue on 195 East to Fall River, Massachusetts. Take Route 24 South (Tiverton/Newport) for approximately seven miles. Take Mt.

If you need to give an emergency number out to the family, babysitter, etc. Feel free to have them call my cell phone at (401) 365-5740. I should be able to track you down. Also the # for the Roger Williams Security office is (401) 254-3397. We do our best to try and accommodate everyone with their requests for suite-mates, who they wanted to be near, etc. We have made room assignments. If you did not request to be with anyone specific and have since found someone you would like to share a room with please email me immediately as to avoid any confusion at registration. Please bear with us as it’s not a perfect system and we do try to make everyone happy. There are a VERY LIMITED # of rooms that would be available as a single for an increase in price. Please contact me at [email protected] The first thing to remember is that even though we are now at a hotel, it is not the Ritz. When you get there on Thursday, you will have clean linens (two sheets and one blanket) and two pillows on the bed and two regular sized towels and one washcloth. Housekeeping will come in and replace towels if need be but if you do not want your room cleaned until the end of the Convention please let the front desk know. The hotel does have Wi-Fi, a fitness center and an indoor pool! Check-In is NO SOONER THAN 2:00 p.m. on Thursday and we will close registration at Noon on Saturday. You’re more than welcome to show up before that, but if you do we’ll put you to work stuffing goodie bags. We’ll have breakfast on Friday morning at 8:00 a.m., before we head off for miniature golf (leave at 9:30 for a 10:00 tee time). This is the first official Necon Olympics event- if you plan on competing in this event please let me know so we can give the mini golf place an estimate of how many will be attending. There is a $5 fee to participate in this event. It will be followed by Darts (Friday night), Foosball on Saturday afternoon and Hi-Lo Jack (Saturday night). You can sign up for any and all events at registration. Several events have space limitation, so if you’re interested, please make sure you sign up early (registration forms will be available at check-in). Please be advised that all outdoor activities are weather permitting. On Friday and Saturday night, we will be having the signing, movies, etc.Authors, if you plan on bringing any books to sell at the signing please email me so we do not double our efforts trying to get books available for campers to be signed. Friday evening is also the annual Hawaiian Shirt contest, Necon Update, and Hall of Fame induction. Wear your best (or worst) shirt and compete against other campers for valuable prizes. You’re more than welcome to bring as much alcohol with you as you’d like. However, the hotel rooms do not have a fridge so you might want to bring a cooler along also. We have to ask you to keep the alcohol out of the artists/dealers room and out of the panel room and in the lobby. Our ‎#s are down this year so there will most likely be other guests not associated with Necon at the hotel. We ask that you keep all alcohol in the bar area or in the quad area. Speaking of the quad area for those that are new to NECON one of the things that many enjoy are the late night conversations, saugie roast and sing a longs in the quad area. You may want to bring a beach chair as seating is limited. Last year, our Legend this year -Chet Williamson won the NECON anthem, which you will see in this years program book. In camp style, many suggested that NECON should have a camp flag. All submissions will be put up at the registration desk and campers will vote for the official flag. So if you are crafty and creative make a flag! Many have asked if this is a talent or game show year. It is a game show year and I hear we are in for a real treat! * Please look for one more email from me when the programming has been finalized which I am told will be Sunday at the latest. As always, please feel free to call me. My cell is 401-365-5740 or send me an email at [email protected] if you have any questions.
