YT Members and Vendors donate prizes to be raffled off. Each prize will have a container in front of it at the meetup in which attending members can place their raffle tickets. This will allow members to essentially "chose" which prizes they want to try to win.

The proceeds from raffle ticket sales will go towards the cost of the meetup. Any profits will be donated to a non-profit Yorkie Rescue.

Let me check back with my connection at the Hotel. From what I understand, there should definitely be rooms available for Thursday night. Did you try to book through the website or over the phone?

There is not a requirement that dogs be spayed or neutered to attend the meetup. We do ask that everyone is responsible about keeping an eye on their dogs behavior and remove them from any possibly harmful situations.

I hope you can make it - we'll be there!!!

Jodie, you are such a big tease. I was so disappointed that my leg injury prevented me from attending last year - but come July I'll see you in Alexandria.....

For real - a pj party in the ballroom? I love the idea -- fun fun fun

Jodie is right.... the PJ party was one of the funnest parts of the meetup!
and it was just heaven to see so many cute yorkies in pjs snuggling in thier favorite blankies

I just spoke with my contact at the hotel. I guess they are having an issue with their reservations system regarding booking our rooms for Thursday. It has been fixed again and now Thursday should show availabilities. Please let me know if anyone continues to experiences difficulties! Thanks!
