Note
that the conference rate applies to May 21-25, so plan now to
come early, stay late, bring your family or friends, and
celebrate the Louisiana Purchase Bicentennial with a New Orleans vacation.
As a major tourist
and convention destination, hotel rates in New Orleans tend to be
high. That will be especially true during the Bicentennial of the
Louisiana Purchase, when New Orleans will celebrate with visitors
from around the world. Therefore, we believe you will be pleasantly
surprised to learn that your committee has negotiated not only a
very good room rate for the Bicentennial, but a rate that includes
special amenities to make your trip more pleasant and save you money
in the end.
The conference
rate includes a complimentary hot, cooked to order breakfast every
morning (try the crawfish omelet!) and complimentary cocktails every
evening. Every room is a suite with a sitting room, two televisions,
refrigerator, microwave oven, coffee maker, Internet access, a

2002, so the rooms will be freshly redone for our meeting.
