            Even if you do not take advantage of this arrangement, if you happen to patronize Publix Supermarket while at convention, please let them know how much we appreciate their cooperation! Publix Supermarket is located across the street from the Rosen Shingle Creek.

 

            The National Association of Guide dog Users has made arrangements with Publix Supermarket to deliver dog food to the hotels hosting the NFB convention. Please note that this special arrangement is only for dog food and no other items. Furthermore, only dog food normally carried by Publix Supermarkets will be available. You must order your dog food by 10:00 am on Friday, July 1 and pre-pay using a MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover credit card. The dog food will be delivered to the hotels around 3:00 pm on Saturday, July 2 and must be picked up at your respective hotel's bell stand no later than Monday, July 4 at 12:00 noon. Any product not retrieved by the deadline will be disposed of. This service is being provided free of charge as a convenience. The Rosen hotels, NAGDU, NFB, or Publix Supermarkets are not responsible for product not claimed by the deadline.
