[Ct-nfb] Message from Diane McGeorge Regarding 2016 Washington Seminar Reservations

[Edward Shaham]

This message is to advise you all that Washington Seminar will be held
January 24-28, 2016, with the Great Gathering-In taking place on Monday,
January 25. Additionally, I wanted to inform you that I will no longer be
managing reservations for this event. With the Holiday Inn Capitol's
progressive policy changes and renovations having been completed, it seemed
like a natural progression that we turn the reservations over to the hotel.
We no longer need to document special requests such as smoking or
non-smoking rooms, refrigerators in rooms or requests for rollaway beds
since the rooms now have queen beds and can no longer accommodate rollaways.
The reservation process has become very standard, requiring check-in and
check-out dates only, just as you experience with national conventions. This
process will allow you to have full control of your reservations and any
changes you need to make.

 

You can now reserve a room at the Holiday Inn Capitol (550 C Street, SW,
Washington, DC 20024) for Washington Seminar for check-in beginning
Saturday, January 23, 2016, check-out Friday, January 29, 2016. The rate is
$184.00 per night. This rate does not include DC sales tax, currently 14.5%.
You may begin booking directly online by using our
<http://ichotelsgroup.com/redirect?path=rates&brandCode=HI&regionCode=1&loca
leCode=en&GPC=N9B&hotelCode=WASSM&_PMID=99801505> reservations link. You may
also make reservations by calling (877) 572-6951 and referencing booking
code N9B. Credit card information is needed at the time of your reservation.
The individual cancellation policy is 72 hours prior to the date of arrival
to avoid a one night's room plus tax cancellation charge on the credit card
provided. Please call (877) 572-6951 and reference your confirmation number.
Please obtain a cancellation number when cancelling a reservation. The firm
deadline date to make a reservation is Monday, December 21, 2015.
Reservation requests received after the deadline date will be subject to
availability and prevailing rate. 

 

If you wish to hold a special meeting during the Washington Seminar, please
email Lisa Bonderson at  <mailto:lbonderson at cocenter.org>
lbonderson at cocenter.org just as you have done in past years. She and I will
work with the hotel on the assignment of those meeting rooms. To ensure that
you get the space you need, please let us know of your meeting space needs
by December 10, 2015.

Lisa and I will always be available to help you with any problems you might
experience with this new system of booking of your hotel reservations, but
we have worked closely with the hotel staff and they are looking forward to
working with each affiliate or group wishing to make reservations.

See you in Washington!

Diane
