******IMPORTANT NEW ORLEANS CONVENTION HOUSING INFORMATION*****PLEASE NOTE THE CORRECTION ON THE DEADLINEFROM 5/1 TO 5/3 FROM THE EARLIER EMAIL IF YOU OPENED.??There are 39 days until national convention housing cut-off (June 9) for the July 22-26 convention in New Orleans.??Once again, and due in no small part to the fact that the VFW/Auxiliary have not been in New Orleans since 1991,? we have had an overwhelming number of early housing reservations for the National Convention.? Due to this early booking pattern, many state department blocks are now sold-out.? We have encouraged individuals to complete the housing reservation form to be placed on a wait list for their assigned hotels.??In order to accommodate this growing wait list, all remaining rooms at each hotel? in (VFW Department blocks) will be placed into one common block of rooms, known as “free-sell”.? This means any remaining available rooms in each state block will no longer be earmarked for a specific state and will be part of the free-sell block, giving every state in its assigned hotel the ability to book rooms from the free sell block.???NOTE:? ??All waiting list requests will be fulfilled beforenew reservations are processed.?If your department has rooms remaining in your assigned block, your attendees? have until 10a EST, Wed. May 3, ??(close of business) to book these rooms.? Beginning, Thursday, ?May 4,? any remaining rooms will be put into the free-sell block to fulfill wait listed requests.? Beyond that, all subsequent new housing reservations will be taken from the? “free-sell block” based on availability.??Room type requests will be honored when possible, however, it will be dependent on the availability of each type of room in each hotel.??As we/VFW National are under contract with the current VFW hotels, it is our goal to utilize all rooms contracted in each of those hotels first to avoid any penalties for not filling the contracted blocks.?In the event a hotel or hotels sell out completely, we will make every attempt, based on availability,? to secure additional rooms at that hotel or to secure overflow rooms at other nearby hotels. ?If this occurs beyond the cut-off date, June 9,? a determination will be made if VFW National is in a position to sign a contract for overflow hotel/s and to be obligated should those contracted overflow rooms not be utilized.??It is encouraged that attendees make their reservations now for the National Convention.? National cannot guarantee there will be availability until the housing deadline of June 9?as the rooms are booking quickly and are first come, first served.?If you have any questions, please contact me at:? 816-968-1198 or via email at: VKane@Thank you!?Regards,??Vanessa Kane, CMP, CMMManager Meetings & Events/ExhibitsVeterans of Foreign Wars of the United States406 W. 34th StreetKansas City,?
