- Click the “attend” button on the OCSJ MeetUp site. A necessary step for messaging information to attendees, and so that the leaders and participants can see who is going.
In past years, this has been a very popular trip. We have had more members who want to attend than there are rooms available. Thus, to be fair to everyone, rooms are on a first come, first serve basis, therefore you should act promptly. Last year all the rooms were taken in the first 2 days or so.
You cannot reserve a block of rooms or a room for someone else. Each club member and Roommate combined is only entitled to reserve one room total.
If you do not have a valid reservation, you are not permitted to participate in this club trip. Do not try to contact the hotel to make other arrangements than the above.
Please take your name off the "attend" list, if you are unable to get a Chalfonte reservation.The only type of rooms and cost is as below:
A. Room for 2 with 2 beds and private bath. $700.01
B. Room for 2 with 1 bed and private bath. $617.99
C. Room for 1 with 1 bed and private bath. $424.01 note: 2 people cannot stay in a single room.
The above costs include 2 breakfasts and 2 three course dinners.You cannot have any additional people stay over in your room or at meals.
The hotel is completely nonsmoking, and no outside alcohol is permitted.
There may be an option to extend your trip. Just ask when you make your reservation.We realize the above instructions are long and detailed but they are necessary in light of the questions raised by participants in prior years.
Thanks for your participation.
