If you have not made room reservations, you should contact the Marriott Marquis instead. There are plenty of rooms there, but it is my understanding that the room block at the Hilton is sold out. Again, that doesn’t mean you can’t get a reasonably priced room, it just means you need to make your reservation at the Marriott.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">To contact the Marriott, you should call <span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;font-size:18px;color:rgb(0,0,0)">877-622-3056 and tell the reservationist that you need to book a room as part of the NFB convention block. If you failed to tell them that you are with the NFB convention, you will not receive our room rate.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;font-size:18px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;font-size:18px;color:rgb(0,0,0)">In looking up the number for the Marriott on our website, I see it confirmed that there are no more rooms at the Hilton.</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;font-size:18px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;font-size:18px;color:rgb(0,0,0)">I hope everyone will get their room reserved as soon as possible.

There is an exit from the Marriott to the George, are brown on the second floor, and when you arrive at the Hilton, you will also be on the second floor. That will keep you from having to walk in the heat to get to the primary hotel. It is very walkable if you go through the George R Brown.</span></font></div><div style="background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);border-color:rgb(255,255,255)" dir="auto"><font size="4" style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif"><br></span></font></div><div style="background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);border-color:rgb(255,255,255)" dir="auto"><font size="4" style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif">See you at the convention.</span></font></div><div style="background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);border-color:rgb(255,255,255)" dir="auto"><font size="4" style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif"><br></span></font></div><div style="background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);border-color:rgb(255,255,255)" dir="auto"><font size="4" style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif">Norma Crosby, president.</span></font></div><div style="background-color:rgba(0,0,0,0);border-color:rgb(255,255,255)" dir="auto"><font size="4" style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif">National Federation of the blind of Texas </span></font></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;font-size:18px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="font-family:Lato,sans-serif;font-size:18px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"></span></div><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Norma Crosby, President<br>National Federation of the Blind of Texas<br>1600 E Highway 6, Suite 215<br>Alvin, TX 77511<br>(281) 968-7733<br><br><br>Sent from NFBTX Mobile</div>
