I have to send in an additional $1400 by May 22nd to secure our entries.  I have already paid $400, but as of yesterday's mail, I have only received checks from 17 guys: Burchard,
Clark, Coash, Dahl, Davison, Fox, Graham, Grube, Heffernan, Jennings, Ladd, Peterson, Quinn, Reilly, Sargent, Sheehan,  Wheeler.

Make check payable to:  Middlebury Alumni Lacrosse Club
Mail to:

3.  Make hotel reservation.  To get our group discount rate, you must reserve your room by May 13th.  I have reserved a block of rooms for check-in on June 28th and departure on July 3rd.  Call the Manor Vail Resort  800-950-8245.  Make sure you tell them you are with the Middlebury Alumni Lacrosse Club.

Our group rates are:
Studio Condo  $135/night
1 Bdrm/1 Bath $145/night
2 Bdrm/3 Bath $340/night

4.  Register/Renew your US Lacrosse membership.  You must be an active member to play in the tournament.  It is a heck of lot easier to just show your US Lacrosse ID at game time than to hassle with signing up and paying.   Call (410) 235-6882   or  download the membership form: http://www.lacrosse.org/pdf/renewltr_2002.pdf

5.  Make your travel plans.   Flights are much cheaper if you book them now.  Over the years, I have seen price swings of up to $200.  After you get a price try contacting the travel service recommended by the tournament organizers.  You might get a better rate.  Contact Eric Tilley at Moguls at 1-800-666-4857, ext. 129 or etilley@skimoguls.com
