We have had a good response to our "meetup" for Yosemite.  Sy Gelman has reserved a block of rooms for us at The Yosemite View Lodge in El Portal.  We are booked under The Villages Camera Club and please make sure to mention this when you make your reservation in order to get the better price.  Mountain View rooms are $174.00 plus tax and River View rooms are 211.00 plus tax.  Dates are October 8th and 9th.  The rooms will be released if not booked 30 days before arrival.  You will be charged a penalty of $7.50 if the reservation is cancelled at any time and gets higher if cancelled within 7 days of arrival.  I will send out more info, and a schedule (including free time).  All rooms have a small refrigerator and a small microwave.  The phone number is 209 379 2681.  Each party is responsible for making their own reservation. If registering a guest, see "guest" section on main web page for liability information.  Really looking forward to this event.
