Market/Dallas Update
Hello everyone
We've run into some speedbumps regarding the market trip that is scheduled for October 24th - 26th. Some information recently came into our possession regarding admission into the actual market. It turns out tours are only given on weekdays of the Dallas Market Center, and to get into the actual you have to be a buyer of some sort. We can't even begin to express our disappointment and we're sure all of you are experiencing a modicum of regret as well.
It's a definite wrench in our plans but we've come up with a few solutions such as traveling to network and meet contacts such as retailers and other fashion industry types. We're open to everything anyone has to say and ask that everyone please attend the October 7th meeting to express any thoughts, make suggestions, or ask questions. We are happy to address any concerns you may have.

(see you there)
Market Info
Dallas Market Trip
October 24th – 26th
Dallas Market Center
The Fashion Center is where the market will be located.
Parking garage is long walk so be prepared to walk.
Ladies it might be a day for flats, but that is up to you.
Where will we Stay?
We have several options for hotels.
To the left is the Hyatt Summerfield Suites. Assuming 8 people in 2 rooms, the nightly rate per room is $104. For 2 rooms including tax, the total will be $490.64 amongst 8 people divides down to a little over $61 per person.
Holiday Inn Dallas Market CenterThe Holiday Inn is listed at $104 per room per night assuming 8 people in 2 rooms. For 2 rooms including tax thru Orbitz, the total will be $501.68 amongst 8 people which divides down to a little under $63 per person.
Transportation
I hope everyone will have a friend. We thought it best that everyone carpool or take their own vehicles. Also, we think it only fair that those driving their cars and allowing others to ride with them should receive some gas money. That total will reflect, however, the number of people you take. More gas money for more people.
Where is everything?
Market to Hyatt – 1.41 miles 
Market to Holiday Inn – 0.44 milesWhat to Do in Dallas???
Galleria Dallas – 9.67 miles 
North Park Center – 8.44 Trip Totals and Information
• Deposit of $100 is due on October 7th
• This will most likely be all that you will owe for the trip
• After we know everyone that will be going, we will need to know your transportation situations by the 21st to allocate gas money. That will be the meeting after the 7th and the Tuesday before the trip.
• Reservations will be made on October 8th and 9th , therefore no deposits will be accepted after the 7th
