[Bme-student] Supplemental info for BMES-please read ASAP!!! Let me know by Friday, August 10th

[Betsy Tedder]

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to send out the last email without proofreading
and checking spelling.
But, I have called the top hotels and the group rate rooms are already gone
(prices for group rates would have been:$189.00 for single, $199.00 for
double, $219 for triple and $239.00 for quad rooms)
As it stands now, in the hotel where the conference is(The Renaissance
Hollywood Hotel <http://www.renaissancehollywood.com/>), the rate per night
is a flat rate of $339.00, no matter now many people in the room, which
comes out to ~ 85.00 per night per person for 4 people in a room. Since
Aditee and I are the only girls who have responded, we both said we wouldn't
mind rooming with guys, so that cuts down on additional room costs(if any
guys don't mind 2 girls with them, please let me know). So, I was going to
reserve 3 rooms @ the Renaissance (so these wouldn't be CBS only rooms). The
cost per person, as I said, would be ~85.00/night, for a total of $255 for 3
nights per person, if 4 people per room, and as it stands, there are 12
people who have responded who are definitely going, which are:
1. Betsy Tedder
2. Changhong Zhang
3. Lee Sierad
4. Aditee Kurane
5. Jai Kutty
6. Kirk Pirlo
7. Tripp Mostertz
8. Tom Chuang
9. Dev Raghavan
10. Xiaofeng Cui
11. Honghai Liu
12. Scott Maxson
So, that could be 4 people per room for 3 rooms for 3 nights (Wed,Thurs,Fri,
come back Sat). Once we know who is rooming with who, since there are so few
of us, we can figure out who in each room we will transfer room reservations
and credit card responsibilities to (I'll take responsibility for the room
I'm in). This means that there is not going to be exclusively funded CBS
rooms, but we will look at the feasibility of funding individuals in any of
these 3 rooms(as I said before, if you have already made reservations and
need roommates, please let me know ASAP, as the amount that each individual
in that room is responsible for may be less than $85, as different rates may
apply). If you would like to be in one of these rooms(whether or not you are
expecting CBS funding or not), PLEASE let me know by Friday, August 10th so
I have a number in each room.
Once room arrangements are made, we will discuss the flight(I'm not really
sure now CBS wants to handle that situation now).
Lets get over one hurdle at a time though.
I hope this has not been too confusing, so please feel free to e-mail me
with any questions or concerns. We are just trying to be as time and
economically efficient as possible by trying to make group accommodation
arrangements.
Betsy
