Special Extras
Meals: If you have any special dietary requirements for your meals
at Convention, we can make arrangements with the hotel. Please let us
know if you require vegetarian, gluten free, avoid food allergies, or any
other needs. There is a section on the registration form for this.
You can also email our CBS/hotel liaison,
Larissa Williams, with specifics.
Banquet Choices: The Awards Ceremony banquet meal will be a plated
dinner. You have a choice of: New York Steak (fire
grilled New York steak with gorgonzola demi, served with mashed potatoes and
fresh seasonal vegetables), Grilled Salmon (oven broiled
salmon filet with lemon caper sauce, served with mashed potatoes and fresh
seasonal vegetables), or Chicken Marsala (seared chicken with
mushrooms and tomato wine sauce, served with rice pilaf and fresh
seasonal vegetables). If you require a vegetarian or special meal, please
mark it on the registration form and let Larissa known.
Side Trips: We will be doing a special side trip to
Monterey Bay
Aquarium on Wednesday before Convention. Pricing is separate and
individual, generally around $40. Do not include this money with
registration, but bring it with you to pay at the door when we're at the
Aquarium. We are also thinking about a baseball game on Wednesday
night, and another side trip on Friday, location to
be determined. Mark on the registration form if you'd like to go to
either.
Class Sponsorships: Putting on Convention is expensive!
Please help support the host club by sponsoring an Awards Class for $20.
Let us know which classes of the 2013-2014 show class list you which to
sponsor, and we'll put your name on special tags by that class during the
convention and you will be listed in the convention booklet as a proud
sponsor for the convention. And you'll have our greatest thanks! :)
CBS Airport Shuttle: The hotel does not have an airport shuttle,
so CBS is running our own
regular pick-up and drop-offs at the San Jose International Airport (within
reasonable time frames). When you have reserved your flights, contact our CBS/airport
liaison,
Nelson Snook, and we will coordinate the schedule.
