NFB Convention!

The 2002 Convention of the National

Federation of the Blind will take place in Louisville, Kentucky, July 3-9. We

will conduct the convention at the Galt House Hotel and the Galt House East

Tower, together a first-class convention hotel. The Galt House Hotel, familiarly

called the Galt House West, is at 140 N. Fourth Street, Louisville, Kentucky

40202. The Galt House East Tower, or Galt House East, is at 141 N. Fourth Street,

Louisville, Kentucky 40202. Room rates for this year's convention are excellent:

singles, doubles, and twins $57 and triples and quads $63 a night, plus tax.

The hotel is accepting reservations now. A $60-per-room deposit is required

to make a reservation. Fifty percent of the deposit will be refunded if notice

is given to the hotel of a reservation cancellation before May 29, 2002. The

other 50 percent is not refundable. For reservations call the hotel at (502)

589‑5200.

Rooms will be available on a first-come,

first-served basis. Reservations may be made to secure these rooms before May

29, 2002, assuming that rooms are still available. After that time the hotel

will not hold the block of rooms for the convention. In other words, you should

get your reservation in soon.

Our overflow hotel is the Hyatt Regency

at 320 W. Jefferson Street, Louisville, Kentucky 40202, phone (502) 587‑3434.

Those who attended the 1985 convention

can testify to the gracious hospitality of the Galt House. This hotel has excellent

restaurants, first-rate meeting space, and other top-notch facilities. It is

in downtown Louisville, close to the Ohio River and only seven miles from the

Louisville Airport.
