The Dodger game ticket ordering has gone LIVE so now is the time to order your tickets if you want to attend.  
 
IMPORTANT:  Please read the entire email below.  If you have ordering questions, please contact the person (Mike Murphy) listed.
 
As a result of your responses to our survey, we now have almost 400 club members and guests that want to attend the District 5240 Dodger/Giants game social on June 20, 2019. Here are some important details that you need to communicate with your club members:
  1. The Dodgers only have enough space for 241 guests to attend the banquet. As a reminder, the cost is $75.00 per guest which includes a dodger dog, drink, salad, bag of chips and baseball game seat ticket. The banquet and game seats assigned to our group are in the loge section behind the Dodger dugout of Dodger Stadium. The first 241 club members and guests combined that enroll will be able to attend the banquet.
  1. The first 150 club members and guests that sign up for the event are also entitled to participate in a group photo behind home plate on the Dodger field right after batting practice.
  1. The balance of the club members and their guests that sign up will be able to attend the game in the loge section of the stadium and right across from where the banquet is being held. Those ticket prices are $55.00 each and are better seats than the ones being assigned to those who are attending the banquet.
  1. Our district and its clubs will be recognized during the game on the big board.
  1. All club members and guests are requested to wear a Rotary hat to help our district promote rotary.
  1. Each club is requested to have one member attending the event use their cell phone to take photos and videos to do facebook posts to their club, group and the district Facebook pages. All club members are asked to like these posts on Facebook and post comments to promote our event and Rotary.
  1. Bus service is being provided by Pacific Coachways. The cost to ride the bus if $25.00 per person. Each bus holds 50 passengers. We have one bus reserved and will add more as needed with additional reservations. The buses leave the Best Western Thousand Oaks Inn at 3:00 p.m. sharp. It is advisable to confirm your arrival with the hotel but not check in until after you get back from the game to save time. The hotel information is on the website and all club members and guests wanting to make reservations with the hotel are asked to contact it directly. Mention “Rotary” for your discount prices.
  1. We will all meet at the Best Western Thousand Oaks Inn at 2:30 p.m. Parking is available in the hotel parking lot for all club members and guests coming to the hotel to meet and greet before the game.
  1. The game starts at 7:00 p.m. The buses take all of their passengers back to the Best Western Thousand Oaks Inn after the game.
  1. For those not going to the game by bus, you should go to Dodger stadium and park close to the loge section of the stadium. We will supply more detailed information later about where everything is located so everyone is on the same page.
Finally and most importantly, the district website will have up and on its home page starting on Wednesday April 24, 2019 starting at 9:00 a.m. a link where club members and their guests can start signing up for this event. The site is operated by club runner and only two can sign up at a time. Club members should pay for themselves and all of their guests so that we can trace the club members to their guests for banquet, game and bus ticket distributions later. Once again it is important that we are able to trace club members with their guests. So all club members should pay with their credit cards so we can do a proper accounting.
 
 
We are pleased, honored and excited about the level of enthusiasm the clubs and their members have shown for this event. It is the club members who have made it a great and successful event.
