Wow…

What an amazing turnout we had at our Equipe SF Welcome and Registration Party  this past weekend!  To all those who joined in the festivities at The Café, thank you for supporting your fellow teammates and potential teammates with such an enthusiastic showing in both numbers and in spirit!  Not only did we get a chance to meet each other up close and personal, but many of us began to develop new friends, and some even started new teams to add to the ranks of Equipe SF.  Our family is growing and we're definitely Catching the Montreal Feeling!

Grand Prize Winner

Kathy Fleming , an Equipe SF member and Outgames registered triathlete from San Francisco, was our Grand Prize Winner, and took home the free Air Canadal round-trip ticket to Montreal.  Felicitation!  Congratulations, Kathy!  Of course the camaraderie and fun that we all enjoyed Saturday night made EVERYONE a winner, and we hope to continue in that winning spirit right up to and through the 1^st World Outgames Montreal 2006!

Registration Promotion Deadline Approaches

There's still time to save $118 on Outgames Registration Fees!  For those of you still on the proverbial fence, NOW is the time to get off that firm, supple butt you've been sitting on and get thee to a computer.  You've got less than a week to take advantage of the Equipe SF guaranteed 40% off group discount that we have secured for our members.  The deal ends Monday, October 31.  No trick, all treat!

Remember, you need to 1) pay-in-full before the deadline (total comes out to about US$150 with the discount), 2) check the "Yes" box when asked if you will share your info with our local city team, and 3) use our Equipe SF Event Code/Member Affiliation number 3445 in the "My Finance" section of the secured Montreal2006.org website. This will lock in your savings and allow us to validate your submission. 

People on sports teams within Equipe SF (eg., softball, volleyball, etc.) will need to get 4) a special team code from their captain, who must register first to generate the team code number.  This team code number is different and separate from the Equipe SF Member Affiliation Number used in the "My Finance" section of your online registration.  The team code merely groups all your teammates together so you can be identified as such within your sport/event grouping.

Coming Up Next

Equipe SF still has lots of exciting plans between now and July 29, 2006 when we all march into the Olympic Stadium together.  Stay tuned for more on:

• Team development in softball, basketball, volleyball, and bowling, including all-women teams!
• More intimate Informational Parties (with some fabulous prizes of course!)
• Equipe SF team uniforms – FABULOUS!
• Equipe SF team trading pins - It's all about the accessories you know!
• Special Travel Packages – Will you be the first to see the debut stage production of Lord of the Rings in Toronto before the Outgames?
