Hello Everyone,

The members of the Florida Council of the Blind and its affiliate, Guide Dog Users of Florida are happy to announce that the 2011 Top Dog Workshop will take place from January 6 through January 9, 2011 at the Four Points by Sheraton Studio City located on International Drive in Orlando, Florida with room rates at $79 per night plus applicable tax of 12.5 per cent which is almost unheard of in orlando in season.  The facility is within easy access of the wonderful attractions that draw millions of visitors to this fascinating city throughout the year.  You will be able to incorporate vacation plans during your visit to Orlando as the hotel is offering convention rates for three nights before the event begins and three nights after its conclusion.  Reaching Orlando via plane, train or bus is readily achievable throughout the country.  Volunteers will be available to meet you att the airport, train or bus station.  You will be asked to provide us with your travel itinerary as soon as it is available in order for us to coordinate this service.  

We are offering five meals during the event, dinner on Friday evening, plated breakfast, box lunch and plated dinner on Saturday and plated breakfast on Sunday morning.  The meal costs are very affordable with a full breakfast for Saturday and Sunday morning at $15.00 each, box lunch at $15.00 and Saturday evening dinner at $30.  We are still in the process of choosing the meal option that we will provide on Friday evening; but it is our plan to keep the cost of that meal between $15.00 and $20.00.  When you register for the event, you will be able to choose the meals that you would like to purchase.  

in my next communication with you, I will provide instructions for both event and hotel registration.  We are in the process of providing excellent price points for tickets for some of the best Orlando attractions.  

The 2011 Top Dog Workshop program will be dedicated to guide dog related issues.  TheProgram Committee, consisting of guide dog users from around the country, will meet within the next couple of weeks to choose from the very wonderful program options that have been suggested to us.  It is not too late for you to add your program suggestions to the list.  Please e-mail me at the address found at the bottom of this message if you would like to suggest ideas for program options for this very exciting event.  

The Florida Council of the Blind and Guide Dog Users of Florida are very excited to host the 2011 Top Dog Workshop.  Should you decide to join us in Orlando in early January of 2011, you will leave us enriched and revitalized and ever more dedicated to the movement that has enabled us to access our world with magnificently trained guide dogs.  

I will be in touch soon with details about hotel and event registration.  In the meantime, mark your calendars and prepare to join us in orlando for the 2011 Top Dog Workshop from January 6 through January 9, 2011.  

Respectfully,
