[NFBMO] URGENT! Hotel Rooms

Tue Feb 27 02:26:23 UTC 2018

I do not think a backup hotel is required at this point. We have at
least 21 rooms left in our block but folks need to make their
reservations so that we know, in advance what we are up against. If the
Capitol plaza cannot provide 50 rooms for Friday and Saturday nights
they would breach the contract and they are well aware of this. However,
after March 13 they WILL NOT hold our rooms.  By the same token if we do
not fill our block there are penalties assessed against the affiliate
so, for now, do not suggest any alternative.

Hello, Gene:

Thank you for the update. I have advised my chapter members of this
development. Do you think there is a possibility that some convention
attendees will have to book a room at an overflow hotel? If so, would
you recommend the Baymont?

Since not everyone reads the mailing list, I think that all of us
chapter presidents need to be able to give our members a plan B if they
can't find a room at the Capital Plaza.

Regards

Daniel Garcia, President, Kansas City Chapter National Federation of the

All rooms at the Capitol Plaza  with two beds are sold out! Read
carefully.

First, if you need a king bed you are fine but still need to make your
reservations right away.

Second, if you do not need the two bed room you have already reserved
Email me right away and we may be able to trade  you to a King room with
someone who needs a  two bed room who has not  made their reservation or
has already been assigned a king room (including scholarship winners).

My Email is escoulter at centurytel.net <mailto:escoulter at centurytel.net>
using subject Room Trade.

Third, if you have not made your reservations there are a limited number
of mini-suites available which have a King bed and sofa sleeper that
will be charged at the same $89.00 per night rate. Do not, I repeat do
not, use these suites unless you would absolutely require two beds be
respectful of your fellow convention attendees.

The deadline remains March 12 and as you can see will likely not be
extended as the hotel is totally full except for the rooms set aside for
us.  

If you get stuck with a king room you can also call the hotel after
March 10 and see if there have been any cancellations of two bed
accommodations.

The hotel phone number  is 573-635-1234. Make sure you state you are
with the National Federation of the Blind.

Thanks for heeding this message.

Gene

PS- less than 30 people have registered for convention and only 3 of 13
board members have registered thus far. So, I look forward to seeing
those registrations roll in.
