Dear SAGE National Coordinators and Friends, (click for the brochure)

It is now OFFICIAL!

We are pleased to announce that the 2011 SAGE World Cup will take place in Buffalo/Niagara Falls from 22-26 July, 2011. The host will be Canisius College in Buffalo (http://www.canisius.edu). A brochure is attached with a general outline of the four-day schedule, along with a list of our sponsors.

As each country makes its plans to participate, please bear in mind that:

1. SAGE will pay all lodging, meals, cultural outing to Niagara Falls, gala award banquet, and ground transportation to and from the airport for EACH OFFICIAL SAGE TEAM DELEGATION starting the evening of 22 July, and ending after breakfast on the morning of 26 July.
2. An official SAGE TEAM DELEGATION consists of up to four people (e.g., three students and one adult ally).
3. Each country may choose to bring two delegations: an SRB champion team and an SEB champion team. In other words, SAGE will pay for a total of eight people per country, if they bring one SRB team and one SEB team. If they bring only one team, SAGE will pay for up to four people maximum.
4. SAGE will pay all lodging, meals, cultural outing to Niagara Falls, and gala award banquet for each the SAGE Continental Coordinators and National Coordinators, starting the evening of 22 July, and ending after breakfast on the morning of 26 July.
5. We encourage countries to bring larger delegations, bearing in mind that any delegate/guest who is not part of the official delegation of four people (e.g., an “overflow” delegate) must pay a fixed fee of $500 per person prior to checking into their sleeping rooms (there will be no pro rations per day). This fee will pay for all, meals, cultural outing to Niagara Falls, gala award banquet and ground transport to and from the airport.
6. To help you secure visas, SAGE Global will author one generic letter per delegation inviting your country to participate.

The SAGE Global home office would like to thank Peter Eimer, SAGE North America Continental Coordinator, for helping us to secure the venue for this year’s event. We would also like to thank Canisius College, along with the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, for agreeing to host what promises to be a most spectacular event!

Have a great day/evening.

Sincerely,

Curt
