Email sent to NVE4 registered members

[Herrsss]

Howdy everyone,

As we all know, the U.S. and the world are experiencing an unprecedented period of "social distancing" and, of course, Viper Owners are not immune. The VOA has moved deliberately, carefully, and strategically to balance the needs of the club, its members and the greater community. Rapid developments over the last several days in Federal, State and Local governmental guidance has made a large gathering of people traveling from all our regions impossible for late-April. Because we have been working behind the scenes with an eye toward risk for our members and club for several weeks, we can now present the total picture.

NVE4 in Miami & the Keys, Florida has been rescheduled to next year: April 28 to May 1, 2021

The host hotel and track have agreed to this date change with no cancellation penalties or change fees!
Some of the smaller venues and activities will be able to provide refunds or carry-over payments to next year as well.

We have made it really easy for you!


You are already paid up!


Your space is reserved and not at risk of losing it when registration opens again this fall!


Your reservation for the Friday Legends dinner has been automatically saved for next year!


We are working with the hotel to change your reservation dates to next year so you don't have to worry about that!



Other reminders:
- Don't forget to cancel your caravan lodging reservations,
- Don't forget to cancel your travel reservations,
- The airlines are waiving cancellation and/or change fees right now,
- If your shipping via Passport or any other carrier please let them know you are cancelling.

We are thrilled to be able to present a clean solution to this unprecedented sticky situation with no detrimental impact to the members or the club but if you have any questions about the changes please reach out to your regional president. If you are unable to attend in 2021 please reach out to beth.sewell@driveviper.com.

Going forward our NVE schedule will now be held on odd number years starting with NVE4 in 2021.

We look forward to getting through the current situation and we wish all of you and your families a safe and healthful next several months.

Sincerely,

The Viper Owners Association

[TA Two Oh]

Well done. You've made the best of a tough situation. Thank you for all your hard work on this!

[Loud]

Great job, Beth and team.

[Bryan Savage]

I think this is the best plan. Now I can extend my diet for another year!!

New 12 day format?

Oops sorry about the finger flub - you can't copy paste into your posts so I had to retype the entire email!

[kblake905]

Well thought out, postponing till next year gives everybody a full year to schedule. After all this is over members will be more than willing to get out and about again!
Coming from Canada this would have been a problem as they have just announced they are closing the border! Very extreme measures!
Stay well until next year.

[Larryskillzs]

So glad to read this.

Wife's employer just instituted a travel ban for all employees until further notice.

Looking forward to 2021

[ViperSRT]

Excellent decision and great work in postponing rather than cancelling.

[braunstein82]

Awesome. Thanks for making this decision. I'm sure it was difficult and time consuming. Also that it will continue to be time consuming. I can't imagine the stress it has caused you all. Can't wait for next year.

[braunstein82]

BTW I never got the email. Even checked the spam folder.

[Mopar Boy]

New 12 day format?


Got all excited about that! Was like wait a year and gain 8 days of party! :D:D

Good call on everyones part. Hard choices, but the right ones.

[GRNBGON]

Thanks Beth and the team for all your hard work. Great that it is rescheduled rather than canceled. Maybe there can be some Bucket Lists for later in the year. (Lobster Roll???????) (TOTD????)

[GRNBGON]

I too have not received the email. Even checked the spam folder.

[Herrsss]

I got a bounce back when I sent it to your email and when i researched it your email address was input wrong in the registration form so i corrected it and resent it earlier - did you receive it?

[Jaxram]

Great job, Beth and team.

I appreciate the thought and effort that went into the decision.

[Herrsss]

I appreciate the thought and effort that went into the decision.

Thanks everyone - we really appreciate your kind words and support.

I have not received any bounce backs so let me know if you didn't receive the email and i'll try again.

Nice.. well done

Genius!

I was in the travel biz for 33 years, so I know this was not a simple accomplishment.

Those intending to re-book individual air and hotel might find difficulty booking more than 364 days out. For several reasons, Computer Rez Systems / Global Rez Systems almost universally cannot look or book past 364 days ahead.

[ACR Steve]

Great Job to Beth and all the great volunteers . The party will be bigger and better next year. We all appreciate your hard work

Both MAMBA MEMBERS ! [MAMBERS] .... reverse discrimination conspiracy theory....

[JimACRe]

I cancelled my hotel reservation the day the NVE4 re-schedule email was sent out to everyone. I contacted the Hilton Miami Blue Lagoon today but they said they cannot reserve a room until the beginning of May, 2020. Like Jon B mentioned above it has to be within the one year window.

That's old news - all registered members received their emails!

They are building us a new link to use to make your reservations and we'll send it out when it's live. Yep, have to wait until the end of April to make them.

[BSLSK]

Any confirmation from the Hilton if they will push back our reservations until next year for those who didn't cancel yet? Not trying to rush you guys, but just crossed my mind this afternoon.

[ViperSRT]

Any update?

There are a lot of people who cancelled the hotel the day of your email cancellation, we would love to receive the reregister link For the hotel.

[Herrsss]

Howdy everyone!

I sent an email out a couple days ago to all registered attendees with the new hotel link so ya'll can make your reservations. If you did not see it check your spam folders or let me know and I'll send it to you again.

We'll be opening registration in early October for the remaining spots available so plan your vacay time and budget now so you can join us!

[98intrigue]

Thanks, Beth. Were there only Double Queen rooms blocked? That was the only available room when I booked last night.

[BSLSK]

Thanks, Beth. Were there only Double Queen rooms blocked? That was the only available room when I booked last night.

I believe so. That was the only option we had as well.

[LATAMUD]

I got a King just now

[98intrigue]

Interesting. I booked a 2 queen bed room for 4/26 - 5/2 and it’s $159 per night. If I change my dates to 4/26 - 5/3, all rooms show available but the same 2 queen bed room is $220 per night.

[JonB ~ PartsRack]

Its called "Yield Management"

Make 2 bookings.............put # 2 in companion name.

[OTHER SNAKE OWNER]

I just reserved a King for 2 adults, not a lagoon view though. For dates 4/27 to 5/2 at $159 per night

[ViperPete]

We didn't cancel anything. Did not receive the email either. Are we automatically booked at the hotel for the appropriate nights?

[Herrsss]

No the hotel cancelled all reservations and created a new link. There have been a few issues with it but I think they've worked it out. I'll send you the link separately.

[Herrsss]

I believe so. That was the only option we had as well.

They have kings available. They are operating with a skeleton staff so it's been interesting getting all the kinks worked out.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jon - that's exactly what I had to do. Booked a King bed for Monday and then dual Queens w/lagoon view Tues-Sun since no Kings w/lagoon view were available.

Glad to help. 33 years in Airline/Travel Biz, til Viper made me retire from "Travel." Now, GLAD I DID!

[kblake905]

Hmmm
I did not receive (or can't find) the link either, could you resend.
Hope things are normalized by then. Hopefully the talk of a vaccine comes to fruition. :Canada:
