Look Who's Coming

Where? Toccoa, GA
462 Sonrise Way Toccoa, GA  30577-Georgia Baptist Conference Center
This address does work at maps.google.com. If you have a fairly new GPS or recently updated, it should find it, too. Or you can go to their website at toccoa.gabaptist.org and click on the Driving Directions link on the left. If your GPS does not recognize this address, just get to Toccoa, GA. Once you get to Toccoa, you should be able to ask anyone in town and they should be able to point you in the correct direction. This Center has been there for over 40 years. I (Donna) used to go there when I was growing up for Church Choir Festivals. If you get lost, call me, 803-338-1384. Put that number in your cell phone.

Lodging at Toccoa
Registrants have the option to be housed in the hotel style rooms at Toccoa. The rooms will have two double beds and a private bath. We encourage you to buddy up with a second person. (We can help with the roommate selection-write our Registrar.) This is a GREAT time for old friendships to be renewed and new ones to be formed. Meals will be served cafeteria style in the dining hall. Teachers may check in after 2:00pm on Thursday. Participants may check in after 4:00pm on Thursday. Linens are provided and I believe one small bar of soap. You will need shampoo and other toiletry items. No phone, tv, or internet in the hotel rooms. Wireless internet will be available in one room near the classrooms. One laptop will be available at various times if you must check your email and Facebook or bring your own laptop. Final checkout and key return is Sunday by 10:00 AM.

Costs
On Campus Lodging
On the registration, you will check which night(s) you will be spending on campus.
NEW: Each person coming to the conference center for our event, must complete a registration form individually.
(Teachers: Please select nights and Double or Single.)
NEW: We have "packages" for room + meals. 1 night includes 2 meals (Single=$98, Double=$75 each). 2 nights includes 4 meals (Single=$204, Double=$158 each). 3 nights includes 8 meals (Single=$304, Double=$235 each).

Room Choices
Double Room Package      or Single Room Package

Roommates: If you have selected a roommate, include on registration who they are so we can match you up.? If coming by yourself, we will be glad to help you find a roommate. Just write our Registrar. If you have specific conditions, like no perfume, prefer hot/cold room, you may want to consider a single room or find your own roommate.

Meals
On registration, you will check the boxes to show which meals you will be eating on campus. When you click submit on the form, meal costs will be calculated.
On Campus: If you are staying on campus, your room package "included meals" will be counted and then any other meals will be added. Only $10.50 will be added for the Banquet if that is one of your "included meals" with your room package. If you select less meals than your room package, we are not able to subtract any meal costs since we will be charged for them with your package so just come EAT!
Not Staying On Campus: If you are not staying on campus, then you will be charged individually for each meal you select.
Costs: $18 Friday Night Banquet, $7.50 Meals

There will be a "Commuter Fee" for those not staying on campus. It will be $10. (The Guild is covering the other $9.)
