Countdown To Disney!!

Update from Mr. Maginn on November 9, 2009

I have some good news for those people travelling to Florida in doubles or singles. 

I miscalculated your final payment and that payment will now be lower!!!!!!!!!

I want to remind everyone of their total costs for the trip, which includes the $30.00 deduction due to the successful bottle and can drives:

            Single Room     $1,145.00

            Double Room   $   885.00

            Triple Room     $   765.00

            Quad Room     $   715.00       

Your final costs are as follows:

            Single Room   $270.00

            Double Room $135.00

            Triple Room   $140.00

            Quad Room    $190.00          

Please remember that the final costs do not reflect that one room with more people is more expensive than another with less.  If you add up all your payments, the total will definitely be the cost stated above.   I am very sorry for the confusion, but I have been assured by our treasurer, Laura Bacon, that these are the correct amounts.  The mistake was mine, and I am thankful that Laura caught it in time.  The final payment is due on Wednesday, November 18.  It is very important that your payment is on time, so we can take care of paying our Tour Company.

If your previous month’s payments were different from what was owed, your refund checks (for those people who paid in full prior to the price reduction) and/or adjusted payment slips, will be sent home later this week.

Credits earned from the fruit sale can be applied to your last Florida payment.

Please remember the following important upcoming meetings:
