Future Reflections Winter/Spring 2008
The
2008 convention of the National Federation of the Blind will take place in Dallas,
Texas, June 29-July 5, at the Hilton Anatole Hotel at 2201 Stemmons Freeway,
Dallas, Texas 75207. Make your room reservation as soon as possible with the
Hilton Anatole staff only. Call (214) 761-7500.
The 2008 room rates are singles, doubles, and twins $61 and triples and quads $66 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, 2008. The other 50 percent is not refundable.
Rooms will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations may be made before June 1, 2008, 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. Guestroom amenities include cable television, coffee pot, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, and for a charge 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 shuttle service to both the Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport and Love Field.
The schedule for the 2008 convention will depart from what many think of as our usual schedule: Sunday, June 29 Seminar Day Monday, June 30 Registration Day Tuesday, July 1 Board Meeting and Division Day Wednesday, July 2 March for Independence and Opening Session Thursday, July 3 Tour Day Friday, July 4 Banquet Day Saturday, July 5 Business Session
