OK - First of all - I will post an update on the current registration list soon. I haven't been on the computer much recently, and I need to get caught up on e-mails to see if we have any new registrations.

Secondly, we have had a few cancellations now, but I have told the members that the registration fee is non-refundable (as stated in the original thread), unless we have an overwhelming number of registrations that flood in here at the end, and we have enough leftover to be able to give them a refund after all. Of course, that's what I'd like to do (I don't want people to just be out the money), but I can't say yet if that will be possible (it's not looking good). As an alternative, I've given members having to cancel an option of selling or donating their registration to someone else. That way, I don't have to worry about having enough left at the end to process refunds, but hopefully no one will be out any money either if they can't come to the meet-up. Admin/YT has no financial responsibility for the meet-up.

Thirdly, we do have a minimum food and beverage fee we owe the hotel for the meet-up. At this point, we almost have this fee covered, so I'm not too worried about it at this point. Registration and vendor sign-ups have both been lower than anticipated, but I think we'll be ok financially, so thank you very much for your concern (I love you all), but I think we'll be ok. Everyone has been so generous with donations for the raffle and goodie bags, and I so appreciate that! Otherwise, I was going to have to figure out how to buy things for the raffle and bags, so it's a relief I don't have to cover that cost.
