I gave mis-information on there being transport back to NJ and to the dinner. There will not be. I am sorry if this caused any inconvenience. As far as hotels, I missed out on Mayflower rate also but reserved my room at The Welington (HYPERLINK "http://www.wellingtonhotel.com"www.wellingtonhotel.com). We need each registered "walker" to email shirt sizes to HYPERLINK "mailto:[log in to unmask]"[log in to unmask] Jim will be posting the shirt design on HYPERLINK "http://www.yopa.org"www.yopa.org whem done.

The price is now $239. For those of you who do not have rooms yet my secondary recommendation, based on quality proximity and price would be THE MAJESTIC ($149.99) .It is on the list of hotels for YOPA Hotels.com. Links again are listed below. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you make reservations, hotels are going fast and prices are rising as rooms are booked. Once you have booked your rooms, please E-mail Tom Berdine, and let him know where you are staying so we may contact you if necessary. You can also simply respond to this post.

Please let Carrie Dean know - HYPERLINK "mailto:[log in to unmask]"[log in to unmask] as soon as possible if you will be attending. Most current info I have on time is 5:30pm but Carrie will confirm that. GALA GUESTS and Unity Walkers There was some misinformation put out regarding the transportation to and supposedly from New York on Saturday from the Mariott hotel in Somerset. Here is what we are doing. I am assuming if you are flying that you will be coming into Newark Liberty Airport as suggested. The only way to get from Liberty to Somerset Marriott is by cab or limo. Fare is $49. I want to try to arrange shared transportation, but I can not do this without your flight info. Please E-mail me ASAP with the date you are coming in, airline, flight number and arrival time. If we wish to go it on your own cabs are plentiful at the airport. There will be van service at the somerset Marriott to and from the gala Friday evening. On Saturday morning a bus will take everyone who is doing the unity walk into Manhattan. Once in Manhattan there will be no supplied transportation back to the mariott. This info was a mistake in previous posts. It was assumed as last year that everyone would go to manhattan and stay until they were to return home. There is mass transit between Somerset and New York but it requires train changes and is a bit of a hassle. For info go to HYPERLINK "http://www.njtransit.com"www.njtransit.com. Getting from New York to Liberty airport is easy and cheap and the web site with all the info is a really good one. It can also help you with getting to Laguardia or Kennedy. Web site is HYPERLINK "http://www.panynj.gov"www.panynj.gov Looking forward to seeing all of you. Gina --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
