Hello Parrot Heads!!
The clock is ticking!
Daylight Savings Time is here! Spring is almost here! Be sure to book your
travel and register for the 25th ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MINDS!
I am going to run
through the contests you need to enter as we are closing on the April
1st contest deadline! YOU are less than three weeks away from someone
winning these awesome prizes! YOU should not miss out! Don’t delay! YOU must be
registered to win!
Registration &
Contests
Registration is going
VERY WELL this year. In fact it is moving at a rate not seen since the
20th annual when we sold out the event. Remember that we close
registration at 3,500 or on September 15th whichever comes first.
Don’t plan to wait too late in the year to book your reservation and get left
out. Also remember we have a great contest prize and the deadline is only days
away!
If you register
before April 1, 2016 YOU will be put in a drawing to WIN 2 tickets to see JIMMY
BUFFETT AND THE CORAL REEFER BAND in a city of your choice in the USA or Canada
during the 2016 tour courtesy of MARGARITAVILLE FOODS!! All you have to
do is register for the 25th ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MINDS 2016!!!
If you are the lucky winner YOU will win a pair of concert tickets and
access to a pre-show VIP party for any 2016 regularly scheduled Jimmy Buffett
tour date within the U.S. or Canada. The concert date must be selected at
least 8 weeks prior to the show or as soon as possible if the concert is
announced with less than 8 weeks notice. Yes I know there are shows in
April and we will work with you if you win!
Here is the link to
register for the 25th ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MINDS 2016:
I want to mention
several things. First you must be registered for MOTM to stay at the Casa Marina
during the event. This is checked monthly and tracked by our registration team.
Also in order to be in the Casa Marina room contest you must be registered
for MOTM to be in the drawing for the free room. Also to be moved from the
Reach to the Casa Marina you must be registered for MOTM before we will move you
over as vacancy occurs.
Given
you have booked your room at the Casa Marina by April 1, 2016 AND REGISTERED FOR
MOTM 2016 you
will be put in the drawing to win a FOUR NIGHT STAY DURING MOTM 2016 IN A TWO
BEDROOM OCEAN VIEW SUITE FREE!! Again, only the people who are on the Casa
Marina reservations list AND registered for MOTM 2016 by April 1 will be
eligible for the drawing. This is the fourth year in a row this prize has been
offered. Ask some of the previous winners how cool this is to have this awesome
suite right on the water in Key West during MOTM.
News
Many of you are
emailing me asking about the missing gift bag stuffing party link on the
registration page. Can you believe we filled the gift bag stuffing ballroom in
EARLY JANUARY? Sorry but we can only put so many people in that room! Want to be
on the wait list? Email our committee chair Teresa Burchwell at
tb62062@aol.com . If there are cancellations you will be
notified to help out with the party!
MOTM Entertainment
Schedule Update
Contracts, emails,
phone calls, and meetings are in process to finish the MOTM 2016 entertainment
schedule. Look for a MOTM schedule announcement sometime in April!
The Reach
Resort
Many of you are
asking about the Reach Resort and the wait list. Here is the best thing to do if
you want to be on the Casa Marina wait list. Here are the steps
below:
Register for Meeting
of the Minds 2016.
Book your room at the
Reach Resort. There is no special Parrot Head rate at the Reach. Our rate
is only valid at the Casa Marina.
Email our MOTM
Director of Registration Rick Fyffe at rjfyffe1@ymail.com
Put in the title of
your email "MOTM Casa Marina Wait List." Tell Rick you are booked at the Reach
and registered for MOTM. Rick will add you to the Casa Marina wait list in
the order in which you contact him.
We have to fill the
Casa Marina so we will work very hard to move everyone we can as cancellations
occur. We will be working down the order in which you reply to Rick Fyffe. Sorry
for any confusion but it is best to manage this list through Rick vs. contacting
the hotel.

the Reach Resort:
Until next time, I’ll
see you, down the road…
