MISSION: TEXAS IN AUGUST!

Why in the world would anyone want to book a trip to Texas in August, the HOTTEST month of the year?

Here's 3 HOT reasons why:

• We're hosting a LIVE BLAST class, starting at 3 p.m. Tuesday, August 9th through 3 p.m. Friday, August 12th.
• We're hosting a BLAST Reunion starting at 6 p.m. Friday, August 12th through 9 p.m. Saturday, August 13th.
• You'll enjoy face-to-face interaction with Shannon, other BLAST class members (past & present), and hear best-selling author Fred Stoeker (Every Man's Battle) share his heart about hearing the voice of God as you write & speak!

We've booked one of the newest & nicest hotels in Tyler for both the LIVE class and the Reunion. The Hilton Garden Inn amenities include:
* an onsite restaurant * indoor heated pool and spa * complimentary covered parking
* an adjacent jogging trail * state-of-the-art fitness center * complimentary 24-hour business center

Individual rooms include:
* refrigerator * microwave * coffee maker * complimentary wireless internet * Garden Sleep System beds

Located at 220 East Grande Blvd, Tyler, TX 75703, the Hilton Garden Inn has reserved a block of discounted rooms for us, offering a special rate of $89 per room (vs. their standard $139 per room, a savings of $50 per night). Click here to view more information about the Hilton Garden Inn.

Reservations can be made directly by calling 903-509-1166 and must be received by the hotel no later than JULY 21. Be sure to mention that you are with Shannon Ethridge's BLAST event to receive this special rate!

To make your visit as pleasant and affordable as possible, current BLAST participants Sharon Cox and Jennifer Hilton will serve as your event hostesses. They can help you with things like:

• Arranging a ride to/from Tyler Pounds Regional Airport if you prefer not to rent a car
  (if you choose to fly into Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport, you will need to rent a car for the 2-hour commute to Tyler)
• Stopping by a local grocery store on the way to the hotel to pick up food items which can be kept in your room to cut down on eating expenses for those who prefer not to eat out every meal.
• Connecting you with another same-sex BLAST participant to share a hotel room and cut down on lodging expenses.
• Addressing any other questions/concerns you may have!

Although travel, lodging, and dining expenses are your responsibility, there is NO additional cost to attend the LIVE class above and beyond what you've already paid to participate in BLAST. In addition, spouses participate in the LIVE class for FREE! (No children please, as each of the sessions are being video recorded.)

The cost to attend the BLAST Reunion will be $89 per person, but will include dinner on both Friday & Saturday nights.

Please RSVP for either the LIVE class, the Reunion event, or BOTH as soon as possible by emailing Sharon Cox at coxfam2@juno.com or Jennifer Hilton at jh3231@gmail.com.

We look forward to seeing many of you in Texas! And we promise to try to keep you as cool and comfortable as possible! :o)
