$100 dollars gets you a fun weekend with your Pontiac Family!
$100 covers: the cost of the house rental, all food and non-ABC beverages for the weekend, all paper products, linens etc.
Jamie Gordon MUST know by Wednesday, November 2 if you are participating
$50 deposit by November 15. The balance will not be due until March!
VERY IMPORTANT: We book the house based on the number of people who sign up - SO: once you sign up and I book the house - you have committed to either going or still paying your portion of the weekend even if you end up not being able to go.
There will be an envelope on the bulletin board just inside my room on the right of my door when you come in - labeled "beach" if you would like to bring a check- please make out to me - No Social Committee money is used for this event - all money goes directly to a separate beach account.
