As is the case every year, we have once again arranged for exceptional room rates. Unlike in years past, the same enviable rate of $99 per night applies to singles and doubles as well as triples and quads. Hotel and sales taxes are 13.38 percent and 8.25 percent,
respectively. The resort fee (normally $37 a night) will be waived for NFB convention attendees. However, fees for internet access, local and toll-free calls, and fitness center access may apply. To make reservations for the 2019 convention, you can call the
hotel at <a dir="ltr" href="tel:877-632-7800" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="48">877-632-7800</a> after January 1. The hotel will take a deposit of the first night's room rate for each room and will require a credit card or a personal check. If you use a credit card, the deposit will be charged against your card immediately. If a
reservation is cancelled before Friday, June 1, 2019, half of the deposit will be returned. Otherwise refunds will not be made. For first-timers, you can apply for the 2019 Kenneth Jernigan Scholarship Fund to help you with the cost of attending the Convention.
Please reach out to me if you would like to apply.</span></p>
