Here is info on hotel reservations for our upcoming National Convention.  



The 2007 convention of the National Federation of the Blind will take 
place in Atlanta, Georgia, June 30 through July 6, at the Marriott Marquis 
Hotel at 265 Peachtree Center Avenue, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. For room 
reservations call (404) 521-0000. 
The 2007 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, 2007. 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, 2007, 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 as soon 
as possible. 
Guestroom amenities include cable television, coffee pot, iron and 
ironing board, hair dryer, and high-speed Internet access. The Marriott has 
several excellent restaurants. The hotel is currently undergoing 
renovations that will result in some alteration in the configuration of 
these. We will report on the changes as the convention draws near. It still 
features indoor and outdoor pools, solarium, health club, whirlpool, and 
sauna. 
We strongly recommend preregistering for the convention itself online 
or by mail any time starting March 1 and ending May 31. The 2007 
convention will follow what many think of as our usual schedule: 
Saturday, June 30 Seminar Day 
Sunday, July 1 Registration Day 
Monday, July 2 Board Meeting and Division Day 
Tuesday, July 3 March for Independence and Opening Session 
Wednesday, July 4 Tour Day 
Thursday, July 5 Banquet Day
