The 2012 RRRoundup will be unlike any event previously - bigger and better than last year's even!
 
This year's event will take place in Tulsa, OK on March 16-17, 2012
 
ADDITIONALLY - the gathering will be
available for you to participate from home if you aren't able to attend
.For a small fee, those who can't physically be at the event can participate from home as they will be given access to all the educational materials, live chat interface with the event and live viewing of all the speakers and demonstrations. There are even a few activities and door prizes planned ONLY for those participating fromhome.
 
With a focus on research and rescue needs, this gathering will put strong emphasis on data collection and research planning. We have been hard at work for many months planning this gathering and assure you that you will want to be a part of this event.
 
 
Details will be revealed as we are able to confirm them. But, we wanted to give you this information right now so you can begin or continue your plans to attend knowing all the options available to you. We will post hotel information, FAQ and other exciting details in the next 4-6 weeks.

RRRoundup Attendees booking with the SUGAR Group's group rate will enjoy the following benefits:

* A one time PER STAY pet fee of $50

* EACH room features a full kitchen and a living area

* High speed internet

* Complimentary hot breakfast

* And for those arriving on Thursday, there will be complimentary dinner and drinks as well.

When booking, it is NECESSARY that you book with the SUGAR Group's room block or you will be charged additonal fees. You may book your room by contacting the hotel at the number listed above. It is best if you ask for Narmeen Shaker to ensure that you get the special rates we have negotiated.

Reservations MUST be made before March 1, 2012 to guarantee these rates.

* We realize that this room rate is higher than our previous RRRoundup rates. However, these rooms are large enough to allow for you to join with several other people to share the room costs. We have a few cots available if you really want to add more people to a room. Each room has the number of beds you book AND a sofa - and many of them are sleeper sofas. So, find some roommates and come join us!!!


*** Please note that you might be able to get a better room rate by booking through their website. HOWEVER, if you do this, you will have to pay in advance and the payment is NON-REFUNDABLE. Additionally, if you book outside of our block/group rate, then you will be charged their regular pet fee (if you have gliders with you), which is $75 per day. Please make your own judgment about what is best for you, but if you do book through their website, please make sure you let Val know.

Thursday night Glider Food Night

Thanks to a generous donation by Wombaroo Passwell and The Pampered Glider, we are going to offer a special glider feeding night on Thursday night for Tulsa Attendees.

We will be discussing and demonstrating Australian ways of feeding gliders and giving some of their ways a try.

All food for gliders will be provided by Wombaroo Paswell.

Consult your schedules in your arrival/registration packets for time and location.

Kingdom Kritters to host Saturday night dinner
 
Kingdom Kritters will host a finger food & chip/dip dinner in Val’s room on Saturday night following the conference and vending. This will be an informal time for everyone to unwind and enjoy some yummy foods without having to go out.

Currently on the menu are mozzarella sticks, southwest eggrolls, chicken queso bites, meatballs, chips and dip. New items will be added to the menu closer to the conference date.

Price of admission to this dinner is one NEW cage item donated to Kingdom Kritters Rescue and Sanctuary. You may donate a pouch that you won in pouch bingo and don’t want, or an item you purchase from a vendor or you may bring a pouch, hammock or toy to the gathering with you. We are not picky, so long as they are safe and new. All donated items will be designated for rescues who need a new home and will go home with them when they leave Kingdom Kritters.

Hope to see all attendees there!
