[Colorado-talk] National Convention matters

[Lisa Bonderson]

Good Afternoon,

Following you will find a few matters pertaining to National Convention.
The Colorado Caucus will be held on Sunday July 5th at 8:00pm in the Cadillac B Room, level 5. 
Please make sure to add your work shifts, once you receive them, at the NFB Store or the Colorado table, to your convention calendar to ensure that you are where you need to be when scheduled. 

If you or anyone you know is flying to Detroit on Thursday July 2nd on or around a 4:20 flight, please respond. I know of a student who is leaving at that time and am interested in finding someone for her to travel to the hotel with.

Following this message, you will find information regarding transportation from and to the Detroit Airport; which you may have seen already, but I wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of the alternative to taxis.

RE: Ground transportation service from the airport (DTW) to the 
Detroit Marriott and Courtyard Marriott hotels at the Renaissance 
Center and vise-versa.

We are pleased to share information on a service being made available 
to NFB members through Enjoi Transportation, prior to, during, and 
after our convention taking place in Detroit, from July 3rd- July 8th.

Enjoi Transportation will offer a range of transportation vehicles 
from mini-vans to mini-buses, up to 46 passenger motor coaches. All 
vehicles are air-conditioned.

Enjoi Transportation will provide round-trip ground transportation 
from Detroit Metro Airport (McNamara and North terminals) to the 
Detroit Marriot at the Renaissance Center to attendees for the 
round-trip discounted rate of $45.00 per person.  Upon arrival at 
Detroit Metro Airport, attendees will be met by greeters in the 
baggage claim sections of both terminals who will assist arrivals to 
the registration table(s) and then onto awaiting shuttles for 
transport of members and luggage to the hotel(s).  Ground 
transportation service will be available on a 24-hour basis 
throughout the convention dates.  Those interested in this service 
are encouraged to make reservations at least 48 hours before arrival; 
however, ground transportation will also be available to attendees 
upon arrival to Detroit Metro Airport.  (Single direction service is 
also available at $22.50 per person)

Reservations can be made starting immediately via phone by using the 
information stated below.  Credit card payments will be 
accepted.  Please note that members who make a reservation, then 
change their plans and do not cancel their reservation within 48 
hours of their scheduled arrival will be charged a one-way trip fee, of $22.50.

Please consider this opportunity to save on the cost of 
transportation while in Detroit.  There is no regular shuttle service 
from the airport terminals to hotels as we have had in other 
cities.  Airport taxi and sedan service is available, but charges are 
approximately $50 EACH WAY per person.

If you are interested in obtaining more information or making a 
reservation prior to your arrival in Detroit, please contact Enjoi 
Transportation at one of the following numbers:  1(877) ENJOI-US, 
1(877) 365-6487, (313) 758-1000, via fax at (313) 758-1001, or via
