(The email we are sending it to, is the one that is currently registered with S2ki.com. Do not change your email now, or else you will not get your mail)

ON A GIVEN RANDOM DAY (WED March 4TH, THURSDAY 5TH, FRIDAY 6TH or SAT 7TH) YOU WILL RECEIVE A 2ND EMAIL, THIS WILL BE STEP #2 THAT REQUIRES YOU TO EMAIL US, THIS IS HOW WE FILTER THE 700+ LIST. You will have 24 hours to email us back with a few pieces of information.

ONCE WE RECEIVE YOUR NEW "FILTERED" INTEREST LIST, YOU WILL GET A 3RD EMAIL FROM US (in 24hrs or less) WITH A SPECIAL LINK AND SPECIAL PASSWORD TO REGISTER.


HINT: CHECK YOUR MAIL DAILY IN THE MORNING, HAVE YOUR FACEBOOK READY, HAVE A CHECK BOOK READY, HAVE YOUR VIN# READY AND HAVE A STAMPED ENVELOPE READY. FOLLOW THESE STEPS AND YOU WILL GAIN 30% ADVANTAGE OVER OTHERS. THIS IS A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, WE WILL SELL OUT IN HOURS, NOT DAYS.


T-SHIRT DESIGN IS COMPLETED:





We are almost done with our credentials/ticket design: Here is a sneek peak: (Subject to change at anytime)(99% done)





Just added another Sponsor:



Q&A:
1. Why Facebook?

a. Able to communicate to over 400-500 people on 1 press of a button.
b. Able to tell who has read their Facebook on 1 press of a button.
c. Ease of not BCC:CC 400-500 people on an email, and replying the same questions via email 500 times.
d. Maps, Locations, Waviers can be issued to on 1 press of a button, instead of 500 emails/BCC/CC
e. Give us the ability to disqualify any participants at anytime with a "defriend" option, instead of searching 500 emails names and deleting from BCC.
f. Signup for Banquet Dinner, Brunch and other activities via your post., instead of opening 300 emails for the banquets, another 300 for Brunch, putting everything on an excel sheet and re-email to confirm. No. This is not going to happen. Once you reply, we will put you in another PRIVATE Group.

Ie: Facebook Group HC3 (ALL)
FaceBook Group HC3 Dinner Only
Facebook Group HC3 Brunch

3 separate groups will not ANNOY those who are not participating in certain groups. How annoying is it to receive an email about things that does not pertain to you? That's called Spamming, and we are not going to do this, or have the time to email 400-500.

2. Can I use my friends Facebook:

- Yes you can, but you are going to BOTHER your friend every week. Every week or so is a NEW update. One week can be banquet registrations, one week can be Brunch Registration, once week can be Hotel Registratiom, another can be maps, another can be Waivers, another can be Meeting locations. Then you would have to go to your friends house, and print all the info out every week. If this is something you and a friend can do, then yes is the answer. Every signups will be based on 7 day or less. Miss the deadlines, you miss it. We do not have the man/woman power to adjust and cater to each person. This will be a 400-500 people event. Should they hit the wrong button and share this info with non registered HC3 attendees, we will "de-friend" them. That means no refunds. You lost your ticket. This event is funded by you, so we do out best to keep secrecy and eliminate gate crashers in from of our home turf. Please be Understanding.

- I suggest, EVERYONE has their own FB account. It is 20 mins to setup. Just need a real email, and all fake names, date of birth, whatever you are afraid of, put down fake info. Set your notifications on to US, and you will never mess a step. You can save all maps and waivers on your phone. No need to print maps, address, locations. etc. Easy as 1-2-3. If you are more paranoid, setup a fake EMAIL. MikeFAKEEMAIL@yahoo.com for example, and setup your Facebook as MIKEFAKEEMAIL.com. Everyone should have a spam account anyways. This was you can delete everything after all said and done in Sept. However, if anything exciting happens in the future, this is the way of contact.

3. Upon registering, do I need to state the name of the passenger or can I add on a passenger later?

- Upon registering, you WILL have to REGISTER a passenger even if you don't know who you are going to take. We will NOT allow add-ons after your registration Period. Yes PUT on a name, even if you are unclear. We understand things happen, divorces, breakups, or illness. You will have a window of opportunity to change your passenger's name. The window will be 7/15/15 to 7/31/15, HOWEVER you will not be able to change your passenger SHIRT SIZES. By April or May, this has already been printed already. You will still receive what you originally Ordered.

4. I am an Homecoming Alumni, I do not have an S2000 anymore, can I attend to see my friends and family?

- Yes, you may. You will have to register like everyone else, pay the same fees, however you may NOT park in the designated S2000 Parking lot. We will have a special parking lot for Media and Non S2000 owners.

5. I have friends and family who has no history/relationship with Homecoming, or I have 2 people that I would like to invite, but my car only holds one passenger, or my wife and kids would like to come but they would like to join me at the festivities. Can you help?
- This is based on first come first serve, if spaces are available, case by case. Rules are not set in stone, but we can assume wife/children applicants will supersede friends applicants. You will have to register them like everyone else, pay the same fees, eat or not, and shirts will not be availible to them since they have been ordered. Again, they may NOT park in the designated S2000 Parking lot. We will have a special parking lot for Media and Non S2000 owners.
We will have a special PASSWORD to register them, and this again will be announced on FB.

6. Are tickets transferable? Refundable?
No. Your VIN # will match your name, your passenger name and ID on our master list. Even if you miss the event, we will still mail you your Shirts etc.

7. .....

1. Hired Tech Team- almost done setting up registration protocol (95% Completed)
