[NFBV-Announce] 2026 NFB of Virginia State Convention Hotel Status

[Stewart Prost]

Greetings all,
Let me first start out by saying that this convention may very well be the
largest convention the NFB of Virginia will have.  This has resulted in
some "growing pains".  Unfortunately, the Crowne Plaza overbooked and
oversold our room block on Thursday, October 22 by 12 or 13 rooms.  For
those of you who booked early, you are in good shape!  (As the saying goes,
the early bird gets the worm.)  If you booked your room on or a little
before the deadline of September 29, you will be moved to another hotel.
This is based on who were the last to receive a confirmation from
the hotel.  I am working with the hotel to determine which rooms will be
moved to the other property.  Here are the details on our overflow hotel:
*Courtyard by Marriott Dulles Airport Herndon*
*13715 Sayward Boulevard*
*Herndon, VA 20171-6305*
*Phone: 571-643-0950*

This property is about 1.8 miles from the Crowne Plaza.  The room rate will
be the same at $125 per night plus tax.  There will be complimentary
shuttle service between both hotels during our convention.  Those who end
up moving will have the choice of moving back to the Crowne Plaza on Friday
or staying at the Courtyard.  Those who will move shall be notified by
email in the next day or so.

If you have not yet made a hotel reservation and wish to join us, you are
in luck!  There are a limited number of rooms at the Crowne Plaza for
Friday and Saturday nights.  Please email me ASAP with your name, address,
phone number and email address.  My contact information is below.  These
rooms will be available on a first come first serve basis.  Once there
gone, they're gone!

Additionally, we have rooms available at the Courtyard for all three
nights.  You can make reservations directly with the Courtyard by
calling *1-800-960-4913.
*When making reservations, indicate that you are with the NFB of Virginia
to get our special rate.  You will have to guarantee your room with either
a one night deposit or a credit card.  *The cut off date for room
reservations at the Courtyard is Monday, October 12.*  After that there
still may be rooms available if space is there. *If you need to cancel your
reservation with the Courtyard, please notify the hotel to avoid either you
or the NFB being charged one night's room and tax.  *

Finally, if you have a confirmed reservation at the Crowne Plaza and are
not able to come to the convention, instead of just canceling the
reservation please let me know so that we may be able to transfer the
reservation to someone else.  Also, if you have a problem with room
reservations, please contact me and I will see what I can do.

*I look forward to seeing all of you at our convention!*

P.S. Don't forget to register for the convention!  You will get breakfast
every morning before the General Session, be able to attend Friday night
Hospitality, and be in the running for some great door prizes!   Early
registration ends October 15.
