If you have been trying to make reservations for the 2025 NFB of</span><br><span>California Convention for the weekend of March 14-16 2025 and have been having trouble, or if</span><br><span>you are planning to make reservations at the convention hotel, yu need to read this!</span><br><span></span><br><span> First, remember that in order to secure rooms at the convention rate of $159/night plus</span><br><span>tax, you must make your reservations before February 21, 2025.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Next, because of the wild fires, the national reservation desk is unable to make reservations</span><br><span>for our room block. To make reservations, please call Jared Sanchez at the Doubletree directly</span><br><span>at: 714-383-7011. Most likely, you'll get his voicemail. When you get his voicemail,</span><br><span>leave yur name, phone number, the fact that you're reserving rooms for the NFB convention, the</span><br><span>dates and number of rooms you want to reserve. Then, if yu don't hear back from him, be</span><br><span>persistent about calling him back during business hours. I strongly discourage you from</span><br><span>leaving any payment information on his voicemail. If yu don't get Jared directly, yu don't</span><br><span>have a reservation!</span><br><span></span><br><span>Hopefully, this situation will be resolved soon and the national desk will be able to take our</span><br><span>reservations again.</span><br><span>In the mean time, the number, once again, is:</span><br><span>714-383-7011 and our contact is Jared Sanchez.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Sincerely,</span><br><span></span><br><span>Brian Buhrow, NFB of California board member.</span><br><span></span><br><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NFBC-Info mailing list</span><br><span>NFBC-Info@nfbnet.org</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbc-info_nfbnet.org</span><br><span>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBC-Info:</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbc-info_nfbnet.org/rstigile%40gmail.com</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
