Fellow Federationists:

      Time is running short to get your reservations in for Washington
Seminar.  Please see the following message which comes from Diane McGeorge
who organizes much of the logistics of Washington Seminar.  

      The time is growing closer than you might think.  Our 2009 Washington
Seminar will run from Sunday, February 8, to Wednesday, February 11.  Please
get your reservations in as soon as possible.  Our deadline for hotel
reservations is January 5, 2009, which is less than a week away!  

      Following is the information that I need to have to assure you of a
room at the Holiday Inn.  The address of the Holiday Inn Capitol is 550 C
Street SW, Washington, D.C. 20024.

1.      First of all I will need to have the names of the persons in the
room.  Please spell the first and last name of each person if you make the
reservation by phone.  You may do so by calling:  (303) 778-1130, extension
219, or e-mail (see below); 

2.      I will need to have your arrival date and departure date.  If people
are sharing the room and their arrival and departure dates are different
from yours, please be sure to indicate that; 

3.      I will need to know if you wish a smoking or a non-smoking room.
Also, if you have any special requirements, please advise.  For example, if
you require an accessible room, please include that information.  If you
wish to have a roll-away bed in the room, please let me know.  If you
request a roll-away bed, there will be an additional $15 charge per night;
and

4.      If you make your reservation by phone, and if you have an e-mail
address, please leave that address so that we may send you confirmation that
your reservation was received and processed.  If you have no e-mail address,
then please leave a telephone number so that I may call you back with a
confirmation.

      You may make your reservations by e-mail by sending your request to
Lisa Bonderson.  Lisa's address is:  HYPERLINK
"mailto:lbonderson at cocenter.org"lbonderson at cocenter.org.  Either Lisa or I
will send you a confirmation.

      The hotel rates are $154 per night for single, double, triple, or
quad.  There is an additional 14.5% hotel tax for each night.  When you
check in you must be prepared to cover at least the first night of your stay
with either a credit card or check; and then arrange to pay the balance by
presenting a credit card or writing a check for the remainder of the cost. 

      If state delegations will be paying for members with one check or one
credit card, please advise Ed Cruz in the Holiday Inn Capitol accounting
department prior to your arrival and he will make special arrangements for
your delegation.  It is also very advisable to supply to Mr. Cruz a list of
the names of persons your delegation may plan to cover.  

      It would also be advisable for you to supply me with the same list
prior to arrival so that we will all be on the same page and this will
lessen problems.  Mr. Cruz has always been very helpful. 

      Remember please, the deadline is January 5, 2009.  There will be a
number of special meetings during the seminar and you will want to watch the
NFB Website for special announcements.  The Great Gathering-In meeting will
be held on Sunday, February 8, at 5:00 p.m.  You certainly don't want to
miss that.

      I hope this answers all of your questions.  I look forward to seeing
all of you in D.C. in February.

Diane McGeorge
