<p style="margin:0in"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">To reserve your room, call the hotel at 303-925-0004. You will need to press 0 for the hotel front desk. We are not using the Marriott call center this year due to some issues
on their end. The front desk has been advised that they are to make your reservation for you. If there is a problem with this method, ask for Rachel, Monday through Friday, 9am to 5 pm. You must mention that you are with the National Federation of the Blind
of Colorado. If they cannot find our block under our full name, try asking for NFB. If this still doesn’t work, please contact Lisa Bonderson, at 720-948-4408. You may also reserve your room using the following link, although the Marriott reservation website
is not very user friendly. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
