STAR 2019 dates and venue
Patmo:
Registration usually opens up mid-December, today is the 7th. The final schedule is usually done several months before the start of STAR, which is over 6 mths. from now. Routes, etc. will be released much closer to the date of the event so that they can be checked and finalized. Hotel reservations usually open up when event registration does.
I suggest that if anyone has any questions or needs to contact anyone right now, and can’t wait until the information is posted up here and on the FaceBook STAR page, that they send an email to the EC...

[...And like Richard said, many, usually about half of those attending STAR are now arriving by Saturday - the day before the actual start...]
The last two STARs, Deb & I arrived on Friday and were surprised to see so many members trying to get the jump on the Saturday early birds!
STLTHMSTA:
Well, if you have the time, why not. I was thinking the same thing if my schedule allows as time gets closer. It's a one day ride for me (I could easily turn it in to 2) and have a place to stay waiting for me. :) TM

What are the questions? Maybe I can help here.
Also, as I think someone already said, the dates are listed as Sunday being the official start date with the following Thursday being the end date. The "close" of STAR is Wednesday night after the banquet of course, but the listed dates are always carried to the following day -- Thursday. And like Richard said, many, usually about half of those attending STAR are now arriving by Saturday - the day before the actual start.
By the way, the local team already has everything either done or already in the works. They are totally on top of what needs to be done! Yay!!! And kudos.

I had someone who wanted to contact the Star 2019 committee or coordinator so they could volunteer.
You stated "By the way, the local team already has everything either done or already in the works. They are totally on top of what needs to be done!"
So is the local team a secret! That the general membership is not to be aware of.
As a long time member I'd like to be aware of who is on the team and how to contact them.

It’s no secret that finding people to help out on many things is not hard to do. Most of the members are ready willing and able to help when asked.
However, gettimg someone to step up and say, “I’ll take charge” is a whole different story. Not complaining. People have honest and legitimate reasons for not wanting to be THE person. Believe me, I understand! But for that reason, we don’t have “A” committee. What we do have is some members, mostly local to the area, that have stepped up to help out in specific areas....routes, lunch, etc.....that need to be set up prior to the event. Dennis has been the Main coordinator of this so far. He would “the” person to contact right now. We will certainly need lots of people to help out AT the event and in the area closer to the time of the event, so additional volunteers are always needed and always welcome.
One thing we do need is someone to organize the raffle ticket sales AT the event. We will be sending out tickets to all members sometime in January, and people will be able to buy tickets when they register online prior to the event, but we will still need someone to help,coordinate it there, along with people willing to help out. Anyone interested in that can contact me. Pat Mogavero
But ANY member, long term or short term or brand new, can contact me via email or phone or PM anytime they want...not just about STAR either. I’m sure the other people in the club, no matter what position they hold, feel the same way.
