OUR FEBRUARY SPOTLIGHT IS ON

TOPSYK

Topsy has been a member of our league since Feb 02, 2009.  Almost 2 years later on Dec 27, 2010, she started hosting for us.  She is a natural and we all love her style and humor.  She was kind enough to provide a short autobiography for our newsletter this month.  In her own words, here is topsy's story.

I've been married to my best friend for 28 years, we have 4 beautiful daughters and 1 adorable grandson. I've always loved animals, and have my own pet grooming salon. I generally work about 70-75 hours a week. When I'm not at the shop I can be found on the computer, usually while making bows or some other craft  (surrounded by my cats lol). I love to travel, but get homesick easily and can never wait to get back home. Another passion is cooking (when the kitchen is clean lol), and I love trying new recipes.

.

Before joining the Nutz 3 years ago I had never belonged to a league, and wasn't really sure what they were. After playing in the same room for several weeks I finally took the plunge and joined. Best decision ever besides deciding to host.

.

Thank you topsy for a delightful story.  On top of working up to 75 hours a week, tops hosts 6 tours a week for us including the weekly Bounty Hunter tours.

We are truly fortunate to have tops on the staff. 

 Next month we will have another Spotlight Story, if you are interested in being in our spotlight, please email me @ Nutz4Gin@gmail.com 

OUR NEXT LIVE TOURNAMENT

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO ENJOYING A LIVE TOURNAMENT AND A RELAXING YET ADVENTUROUS VACATION ALL IN ONE WITH ALL OF YOU

~ ~ PLEASE GET YOUR MINIMUM DEPOSITS IN BETWEEN NOW AND MARCH 5th  ~ ~

*

A BEAUTIFUL NIAGARA FALLS, NY  TRIP IS SCHEDULED TO BE HELD FOR 4 NIGHTS BEGINNING JUNE 11th THROUGH THE 15th. THE TRIP HIGHLIGHTS AND COST OPTIONS ARE BASED ON A MINIMUM NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS LISTED UNDER EACH PLAN. OUR IDEAL GOAL IS TO KEEP THE MEETING ROOM COSTS LOW AND TO QUALIFY FOR FULL CATERING.  THEREFORE, WE NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST 30 PARTICIPANTS IN THE HOTEL FOR DINING.  IF WE DO NOT MAKE THE GOAL, THE COSTS AND PLANS FOR MEALS WILL BE ADJUSTED DOWN  AS THEY WERE FOR THE TRIP TO ATLANTA AND CATERING WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE.

.

THE HOTEL IS BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE FALLS AND NIAGARA SENECA CASINO.  IT IS 25 MILES FROM THE BUFFALO NIAGARA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND 8.8 MILES FROM NIAGARA FALLS INT'L AIRPORT.  THE AMTRAK STATION IS 4 MILES AWAY.  UNFORTUNATELY THIS LOCATION DOES NOT OFFER SHUTTLE SERVICE. ANYONE FLYING WOULD HAVE TO TAXI TO THE HOTEL IF POSSIBLE PLEASE PLAN TO ARRIVE AT THE NIAGARA FALLS INT'L AIRPORT WHICH IS THE CLOSEST.

. 

YOUR RATES AND LENGTH OF STAY INCLUDE ALL BASIC ROOM CHARGES FOR 4 NIGHTS WITH THE FOLLOWING AMENITIES: indoor heated pool, hot tub, cable tv, wireless internet, in-room coffee maker.  PLUS YOU WILL RECEIVE A HOT BREAKFAST FOR 3 DAYS, AND A CATERED OR BUFFET DINNER FOR EACH NIGHT'S STAY, MEETING ROOM AND TOURNAMENT EXPENSES, ALL TAXES, SURCHARGES AND GRATUITIES.

ON WED, THE PLAN IS TO SEE THE CANADIAN SIDE OF THE FALLS. BOTH TOURS INCLUDE LUNCH IN A SCENIC RESTAURANT.  YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO TAKE THE TOURS. BUT, WE HOPE YOU WILL JOIN US.  THE PRICE OF THESE TOURS AS WELL AS GUARANTEEING THE BOOKING DEPEND ON A MINIMUM OF 10 PARTICIPANTS. REMEMBER, THE COST FOR THESE TOURS ARE EXTRA.

THURSDAY JUNE 14th - RELAX AT YOUR OWN PACE AND MAKE IT A MEMORABLE DAY AT THE CASINOS OR OTHER ATTRACTIONS, SHOPPING, ETC OR EVEN JUST A SWIM IN THE POOL AND REST IN THE HOT TUB. WE WILL MEET FOR DINNER AND FAREWELLS AT THE HOTEL OR AT THE THUNDER FALLS BUFFET AT THE CASINO INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKAGE PRICE.

.

IF YOUR BUDGET DEMANDS TO ONLY STAY 3 NIGHTS AND SKIP THE 4TH DAY AND NIGHT OF RELAXATION, PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR PRICING.

PLEASE PAY ONLY THE DEPOSIT AND NOT THE FULL AMOUNT UNTIL WE KNOW HOW MANY ARE GOING TO ATTEND.  IF THE PRICE NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED TO REMOVE CATERING, THE FINAL PAYMENT WILL BE LOWERED AS IT WAS IN ATLANTA. THE SITE SEEING TOURS WILL BE PAID SEPARATE.    

.

DO YOU WANT TO GO? I HOPE SO!

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, I HAVE ADDED A LIVE TOURNAMENT LINK ON OUR MAIN PAGE JUST ABOVE THE SHOUT BOX AND SWINGING CHIMP BACKDOOR.  YOU CAN CLICK THAT LINK ANYTIME TO MAKE YOUR PAYMENTS.
