Dallas Site of 2006 NFB Convention
The 2006 convention of the National Federation of the Blind
will take place in Dallas, Texas, July 1 through 7, at the Hilton Anatole Hotel
at 2201 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75207. Early this year the Wyndham Anatole
property in Dallas became part of the Hilton chain. Because of this transition
you should make your room reservation with the Hilton Anatole staff only. Call
(214) 761-7500.
The 2006 room rates are singles, doubles, and twins $60 and
triples and quads $65 a night, plus a 15 percent sales 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 June 1, 2006. The other 50 percent is not
refundable.
Rooms will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Reservations may be made after June 1, 2006, assuming that rooms are still available.
After that time the hotel will not hold our block of rooms for the convention.
In other words, you should get your reservation in soon.
Guest room amenities include cable television, coffee pot, iron
and ironing board, hair dryer, and high-speed Internet access. The Hilton Anatole
has six excellent restaurants, twenty-four-hour-a-day room service, first-rate
meeting space, and other top-notch facilities. It is in downtown Dallas with
$15 shuttle service to both the Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport and Love Field.
The 2006 convention will follow what many think of as our usual
schedule:
Saturday, July 1 Seminar Day
Sunday, July 2 Registration Day
Monday, July 3 Board Meeting and Division Day
Tuesday, July 4 Opening Session
Wednesday, July 5 Tour Day
Thursday, July 6 Banquet Day
Friday, July 7 Business Session
