<CORSA Chapters> hotel reservations

[Harry Jensen]

Hi--

"Burns my biscuits"? Jeez.

The convention starts on July 25 and ends on July 30. Those dates have 
been published for months. So, tell me why you cannot make your room 
reservations based upon that knowledge?

The detailed convention schedule will be published in the March issue 
which should arrive at your doorstep in about 10 days (online on March 
1). If, after reviewing the schedule published in the Communique, you 
need to change your travel plans, you can always do it without 
consequences. I do not see the problem.

The detailed convention schedule is a myriad of events which has to be 
thought out and carefully planned for. This year's host chapter tried to 
contact all of the special interest groups before assigning time slots, 
but few replied, even after I had tried to contact them. Stuff happens.

ALWAYS it seems that they NEVER get enough details for the convention schedule out before the host hotel information is available. So it's ALWAYS a race to see if I can still get a hotel room at the host hotel in time by the time I KNOW when to arrive and leave.

Otherwise, a lot of horse trading and jumping thru hoops (like double booking rooms, which can hog the host hotel room reservation availibility) ends up as a result. We also need to know what alternate hotels are available, and how far from the host hotel they are (within walking distance?) as well. (Also, their room rates would be appreciated as well.)
