Call 573-442-6400 during regular business hours on or before March 20 and use code 26NFBLAC and make it absolutely clear that you are with the National Federation of the Blind. They should quote a room rate of $99.00 a night plus tax (which comes out to just over $222 for two nights and $333 for three nights).
