# HOTEL UPDATE

Now is the time to book your hotel room. Rocket City Furmeet will once
again be back at the Radisson Suites Hotel on Memorial Parkway in
Huntsville. Almost all of the rooms in the hotel are mini-suites,
meaning they consist of two separate rooms with closing doors between
and a fold-out sofa bed in addition to the regular bedroom. A few of
them are larger suites, but they're limited in number so get your
reservations in early. They also all have a bar-sink, microwave, small
refrigerator, and a second TV in the bedroom. The hotel has a choice
of double beds or Queen size beds, and also a choice of smoking or
non-smoking rooms. The RCFM reserve block price will be $69 per room,
per night, plus tax, for 2006, the same as last year.

To book your room, you can book online by visiting the hotel online at
http://www.radisson.com/rcfm or by contacting the hotel directly at
256-882-9400. More information can be found at
http://www.rcfm.net/hotel.htm

# DEALERS DEN UPDATE

RCFM's enlarged dealers den is now SOLD OUT! Guests at Rocket City
Furmeet this year can look forward to 31 tables of dealers in our new
and improved dealers den.

# PROGRAMMING UPDATE

The RCFM schedule is now up and online, and can be viewed at
http://www.rcfm.net/schedule.php. Our Magical Programming Jaguar is
still accepting last minute programming suggestions or ideas, so if
you've always wanted a chance to run programming at a convention, you
can contact him at jesterjaguar@gmail.com.

# PROGRAMMING SPOTLIGHT: 99% Virgin Fur

1:00 p.m. Dogwood Hosted by Alexander Katz, Chakawolf, and KO

This your first convention? Your first Furry con? Perhaps looking to
get more fun out of being here? Then check this panel out and learn
how to get more out of being here.

# PROGRAMMING SPOTLIGHT: Rant with 2

10:00 a.m. Magnolia Hosted by 2, The Ranting Gryphon

2 makes this look so easy doesn't he? Here is your chance to rant with
The Gryphon. Be sure to attend 2 Early 2 Rant this morning to get some
inside pointers unless you are confident in your skills on stage. Just
remember that 2 will be allowed to shoot you down for any bad rants.
If nothing else, get some feedback after your stint on stage from the
master himself.

# ART SHOW UPDATES

There is still space available in the Rocket City Furmeet art show. If
you have prints, pictures, drawings, paintings, etchings, sculpture,
or any other artwork you want to show and sell at RCFM, you should
definitely take a few moments to check out out website at
http://www.rcfm.net/artshow.htm for more information and contact the
Art Show Raven if you have any questions.

# CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS

It takes a lot of work to make RCFM happen and we all appreciate
whatever help we can find. We have lots of positions in the meet where
we need additional help, including security, gophers, morning furs,
and game masters to run roleplaying games. Oh, and did we mention the
rewards? Check out the website at http://www.rcfm.net/volunteering.htm
