[Nfbv-announce] Rooms for Convention

[Fredric Schroeder]

Hello all,

Please do all you can to attend this year's national convention 
in Detroit, and please think about others you might encourage to 
attend as well.  The main hotel is full, but do not let that 
discourage you.  Below is information from Fred Wurtzel about 
overflow accommodations.

See you in Detroit.

Fred Schroeder, President
National Federation of the Blind of Virginia

Hello,

The overflow hotel is the Marriott Courtyard.  It is connected to 
the
convention hotel by an over-the-street walkway.  The overflow is 
very
convenient, has a very nice restaurant and is connected to a nice 
shopping
area, in addition to the shopping in the main hotel.  People who 
stay in the
overflow, will not experience problems.  In fact, during heavy 
elevator use,
the overflow may be a little more convenient.

Michigan had our Spring board meeting last weekend at the 
convention hotel
Plans are coming along very nicely.  We are looking forward to 
hosting all
of you in July.  The facility is wonderful, the food is 
reasonable, the city
is full of great entertainment spots and everything is very 
convenient in
and outsid the hotel.  The march for Independence will be a 
pleasant and
memorable event with excellent surroundings including enjoyment 
of the
riverfront.  All and all, it will be a fabulous convention.  Get 
everyone to
register and come.

Please contact me if you have questions.  I will do my best to 
help.

Warmest Regards,

Fred
