Team Dinner

MESSENGER

*** Due to the devastating floods in Boulder and our foothills, the Messenger Team Dinner, scheduled at the Gold Hill Inn has been moved to the Boulderado’s Mezzanine. ***

Thursday, Oct 3
6:30 pm
Dinner $59 (plus $4.24 Eventbrite ticket fee). Price includes dinner, tea and coffee, tip, and tax. Cash bar for other beverages. Dinner will be a buffet. Clarify special dietary needs during registration.

There is only one road accessible into our mountains, and they are currently restricting bus travel and can’t tell us when it will be allowed again…as well, the already lengthy bus trip would have been even longer. So, we moved our dinner to the Hotel Boulderado’s Mezzanine. It is lovely in it’s own right and you’ll be on site already so it’s more convenient. We are ordering one of their better buffets (to make up for the change) and those who registered special dietary needs will be taken care of as well. Still a cash bar.

Registration closed last Friday. However, we will open up registration again through this Wednesday, 25th in case some of you want to change your dinner status. Hopefully, more will join us. But, if you want to cancel instead, you will need to email Laura Bloom to process your refund (laura.bloom@lasp.colorado.edu).

Register for the team dinner through the Registration page.
