[Ponte Alto] Blackstone Raid

[KM]

Greetings!  This is another update for Blackstone Raid:

His Highness has requested the support of Atlantia in making a showing at
this war between the Midrealm and Aethelmark.  As the Expeditionary Corps,
we are helping to coordinate transportation, hotel, and meals, so that as
many people as possible can attend.

Blackstone Raid will be held at the Cedar Lakes Conference Center in Ripley,
West Virginia from April 24th-27th.

More information on the event itself can be found at
http://www.blackstoneraid.org/

For those who are interested in traveling together, we have arranged a
caravan to leave our area on Friday the 25th at 6:00 p.m, and arrive at our
destination just shy of midnight.  The meet-up location is Lemon Road
Elementary School (7230 Idylwood Road, Falls Church), which is the same site
that the Ponte Alto Sunday Social normally takes place.

(We can arrange a secondary highway-friendly location in Stierbach to meet
people, should there be sufficient demand.)

Regardless of your interest in caravanning, if you have room in your vehicle
for an extra person, or if you will need a ride to the event, please let me
know at dreadpiratekat at gmail.com <dreadpiratekate at gmail.com> so I can
coordinate those who need a ride with those who have a seat.

**There are still a few rooms available on site.  As of this morning, there
are 10 motel-style rooms with two twin beds each, and 9 hotel-style rooms
with two double beds each.  Dormitory bunk space must be arranged through
the event itself: http://www.blackstoneraid.org/

We are still recommending that everyone stay on site, as this is both the
most cost-effective and most convenient option.  To reserve a room, please
call the Cedar Lakes Conference Center as soon as possible at 304-372-7860.
More information on room styles and on pricing is available on their
website: www.cedarlakes.com<http://../WINDOWS/Temp/Temporary+Internet+Files/OLK167/www.cedarlakes.com>.
If you are looking for a roommate and have not yet found one, please let us
know so we can help.**

Alternatively, there are a few hotels in Ripley.  Please contact me if you
would like more details about those.

We are planning on sharing an off-board meal together on Saturday evening,
either in or near Ripley.  If anyone is familiar with the town and has a
restaurant recommendation, please speak up!

I believe that the Logistics Corps is currently hoping to have a central
pavilion, water, and perhaps some snacks available for any and all within
the Barony to enjoy throughout the event.  We hope that central location
will help facilitate communication throughout the weekend and ensure
everything runs smoothly.

For people planning to leave early Sunday morning, please join us for
breakfast!  This will most likely take place at 8:00 a.m. at the local Bob
Evans (3 Carter Point, Ripley).  If you are interested in breakfast or would
like to caravan back, please let me know.

As noted, my email address is
dreadpiratekat at gmail.com<http://../WINDOWS/Temp/Temporary+Internet+Files/OLK167/dreadpiratekat@gmail.com>for
any questions or comments.  I check this throughout the day.

Thanks,

Kat.
