      The 2015 convention of the National Federation of the Blind will take

place in Orlando, Florida, July 5-10, at the Rosen Centre Hotel at 9840

International Drive, Orlando, Florida 32819. Make your room reservation as

soon as possible with the Rosen Centre staff only. Call (800) 204-7234.

      The 2015 room rates are singles, doubles, and twins, $82; and triples

and quads, $89. In addition to the room rates there will be a tax, which at

present is 13.5 percent. No charge will be made for children under

seventeen in the room with parents as long as no extra bed is requested.

The hotel is accepting reservations now. A $95-per-room deposit is required

to make a reservation. Fifty percent of the deposit will be refunded if

notice is given to the hotel of a reservation cancellation before June 1,

2015. The other 50 percent is not refundable.

Reservations may be made before June 1, 2015, assuming that rooms are still

available. After that time the hotel will not hold our room block for the

convention. In other words, you should get your reservation in soon.
