Hotel Information
Last Day to Book : Thursday, January 09, 2025
These are the hotels that our partners at Times10Associates have booked blocks for us. Use the links below to make your reservation. Because there is a sports tournament that weekend, nearby properties are limited.
Please note that the Chapter Board opted not to pay for the online portal that we had last year (which was free for us last year). As such, the properties below are being booked through the hotel’s system, which limits you to three rooms at a time. There are two options for this that Times10Associates has given us:
- Make a rooming list to send to the hotel to book the rooms for them. In this case, please have directors copy Times10Associates on these emails ([email protected]) so they can make sure it is getting done.
- Directors can book the three rooms, make a note, and then contact the hotel directly.
A credit card will be needed to hold the reservation, but you can contact the hotel property to arrange mailing a check or bringing one to your hotel check in.
Any issues regarding booking can be directed to Ray Palasz at [email protected]
