Dear parent,
Even though we cannot personally guarantee for your son or daughter's
safety and wellbeing during The Gathering, we can assure you that
we will do the best that we possibly can to insure that he/she will
have a great easter holiday and that he comes home in one piece.
We have 10 years of experience with parties like this, and our crew of
over 180 professionals in all ages will do their best to make the party go
like we want it to do. We have done this since 1992, and many of us
started back then as attendants before we joined the crew to be a
part of the organizers of the year's Biggest happening (with a big 'B'!)

The point of this document is to provide people with information they
need, to know what The Gathering is all about. We also like to stress
that we, during the pary, have information as one of our primary goals
for providing for our attendants, visitors and parents, in the best
way possible.

Before and during The Gathering, you are welcome to contact us if
you have any questions about the party. We have a reception manned 24
hours a day, and a 24 hour hotline for those who want to call us.

Due to practical reasons we would like all communication before the
party to go through email ( monica@gathering.org )

Even though we have no age limit, we strongly recommend that young
people under the age of 16 do not attend TG alone. Although you know
your children best, and are able to decide if your child should attend.
Older brothers and sisters or friends over 16 are ideal people to travel
to TG with. We urge familymembers and friends to choose a seat next to
each other. This can be done through partyticket.net after you/they have
bought a ticket.

You should provide him or her with a cellphone, so that you can get in
direct contact in case that is desireable. As an extra precaution, please
write down the ticketnumber that is printed on the ticket (or take a xerox
copy of it) so that we can locate your siblings in those cases where we
need to get in touch with them on your behalf. We need this to locate their
seat in the hall and providing us with just a name will make thing extremely
hard for us to help you.
