The phone number I’d published on the website has been updated to reflect the central reservation line. When you call, NFB is the event code, but you can also just tell them you’re trying to get a room for the National Federation of the Blind of Virginia Annual State Convention.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you would rather not reserve a room using the online form, please call: 888-839-1775.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you continue to experience issues, please reply here directly to me, and I’ll get you squared away.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Remember, if you are with Project RISE, a scholarship finalist, or a special guest for whom we are making reservations, please do not make those reservations directly.

I just took 16 rooms off the block for our programming, so between that and the number of people who have already registered, the inventory will quickly diminish, especially for Thursday evening.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Questions?
