northstar Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I hope he gets registered for the event as in previous posts, he was not registered and was donating the room back to event planners. Congrats Peter - Now come join us! Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VisionNWRider Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 hmm interesting. I'm cool with everything but how will this room be donated? I say just pull another ticket and call it good. Good luck to who ever gets the room. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOT2L8 Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Some clarification might make this more palatable for those having an issue. The purpose for requiring registration was to motivate people to get their registration fees paid. This is always a challenge for event planners. Typically people make their hotel reservations right away, and then wait until the last minute to pay their registration fees, often at the door. Because hotel reservations can be cancelled the day before, it leaves the planners up in the air. As of this morning 40% of those with reservations are still not registered. Are they coming or not? How many t-shirts should we order? In what sizes? We don't know. Along comes someone who wants to be a contribution - to a very worthy cause - but isn't coming to the event. Since I know he's not coming, I know not to order a t-shirt for him. No mystery. He's not leaving me hanging up in the air. So - to my mind at least - my purpose for requiring registration did not apply to him. Maybe I made the wrong call, but I seriously did not expect any blow-back. Since his post was 5 days before the drawing, it would have been helpful if those who object had spoken up before it was all over. I might have made a different decision.

Papillon Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yeah, I am disappointed I didn't win the free room, but I sure can't complain about the result. Make a wish foundation is a great cause. Way to step up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdn_rn Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Wow! Should I sign up for the rally so that everybody will be happy, or should I donate the registration fee for the rally to Make A Wish? Let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
