Thu Dec 28 19:47:06 UTC 2017

Howdy Fellow Federationists,

Happy holidays! I hope you are enjoying a wonderful time with friends and family. As we gear up to bid 2017 farewell, it is time that we start focusing our full attention to the upcoming 2018 NFB Washington Seminar. We are now thirty-two days away from the Great Gathering-In, but only five days away from the deadline to make hotel reservations at the Holiday Inn Capitol. If you haven't done so already, please make your hotel reservations before the end of the 2017 calendar year.

You can make your reservations online by visiting the Holiday Inn Capitol's reservation portal<https://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotels/us/en/washington/wassm/hoteldetail?qAdlt=1&qBrs=6c.hi.ex.rs.ic.cp.in.sb.cw.cv.ul.vn.ki.sp.nd.ct&qChld=0&qFRA=1&qGRM=0&qGrpCd=FB8&qIta=99801505&qPSt=0&qRRSrt=rt&qRef=df&qRms=1&qRpn=1&qRpp=20&qSHp=1&qSmP=3&qSrt=sBR&qWch=0&srb_u=1&icdv=99801505> which will already include our group code, or by calling the Holiday Inn Capitol directly. The telephone number to call is 1-877-572-6951, and the booking code to reference is FB8. Please keep in mind the hotel does not require a deposit and you can adjust your reservation if need be. There is also no charge to cancel a reservation as long as it is done seventy-two hours in advance of arrival. The 2018 room rate is $192.00 per night. This rate does not include DC sales tax, currently 14.8%. The last day to make your room reservations is Tuesday, January 2, 2018, so please make your reservations as soon as possible.

Additionally, Hillappointments at nfb.org<mailto:Hillappointments at nfb.org> is also up and ready to take your appointment information. As you confirm Congressional meetings, please let us know by emailing Hillappointments at nfb.org<mailto:Hillappointments at nfb.org>. The 2018 NFB Washington Seminar promises to be an exciting one, and we hope to see you there. Remember that in conjunction with our Washington Seminar activities, we will be hosting a Tactile Photography Exhibit & Reception on Tuesday, January 30 from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Newseum. If you have any logistical questions, please feel free to email John Pare at jpare at nfb.org<mailto:jpare at nfb.org> or myself.

Thanks.

Happy New Year!
...Gabe
