"***IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***
PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE END OF THE MESSAGE.
The planning committee for SHARK WEEK XVII in Eugene, Oregon has some important information to pass along to you regarding the event schedule. As you may know we were thrown a bit of a curveball by the host hotel when another event whose dates overlapped with ours ended up rolling into town. This resulted in a number of people being unable to secure rooms throughout the entire planned event and created a number of logistical challenges. Realizing that relocating to a different hotel during the week represented a major inconvenience, not to mention having people scattered throughout different locations, we sought to find a solution that would best meet the needs of the assembled group of attendees given the situation. After carefully considering a number of alternatives, the decision was made to move the event up by a week to avoid any conflict with other events in the area. This will provide us with a number of advantages, most importantly the assurance from our host hotel that we will be able to block out 100 rooms for the group throughout the duration of the week, thereby enabling the entire group to stay together in one location without the need to relocate.
THE NEW DATES FOR SHARK WEEK XVII IN OREGON WILL BE MONDAY, JULY 19 UNTIL FRIDAY, JULY 23. ALL RATES WILL REMAIN THE SAME AND THOSE WISHING TO ARRIVE EARLY ON SUNDAY, JULY 18 WILL BE ABLE TO BOOK THEIR ROOMS AT THE SAME RATE.
We realize and understand the impact this revision might have on those of you who have already mapped out your plans, so we wanted to alert all potential attendees to the change in a timely manner so you might have sufficient time to alter any plans already laid out. We believe this solution represents the optimum resolution to the conflict that arose due to other events in the area and it provides a better chance for more parties to assemble in one location rather than being forced to scatter and move.
Unfortunately, the host hotel is unable to transfer existing reservations from the old dates to the new dates. Therefore, all existing reservations have been cancelled, and it will be necessary for you to rebook your room using the new link (which will be made available later today, per the host hotel) or by calling the hotel and rebooking your room over the phone.
Sincerely,
2027 Road Glide National Rally Hosts"
"***2ND IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT***
We will not be able to book reservations for the new Shark Week dates until tomorrow, either by link (to be provided) or by phone until tomorrow, per the host hotel. Their computer system has to run its course, which will happen after midnight tonight and then tomorrow we will be able to book rooms. Thank you one and all for your extended patience and understanding. Looking forward to seeing all of you in person at Shark Week XVII in Eugene, Oregon."
