HOTEL RESERVATIONS (accepted starting July 15, 2008)

IMPORTANT:  The Chicago Bears will be in town to play the Greenbay Packers the same weekend we are in Appleton. It is anticipated that extra hotel rooms in the city will be booked by fans and media. Available hotel rooms will be at a rate that far exceeds what we are paying as convention attendees. Based on our history we have booked enough hotel rooms to accommodate all HI members who will be attending our Convention.

As you prepare to make your individual and chapter reservations at the Radisson and Copper Leaf hotels, we have established some guidelines that we feel will be reasonable for everyone.

• Our hotels will begin accepting reservations at 9:00AM Central time on Tuesday, July 15
• We ask that you be fair in booking rooms. That is, only book the number of rooms you require.
• As mentioned before, if you are staying two to a room we ask that you consider booking a King room so that the double/doubles can be used by those who are have three or four in their room.
• If you book rooms for your chorus under one name, individual names and credit card numbers will be required for each room by Monday, September 15. This information can be faxed to the hotels.
• There will be a 30 day cancellation policy applied to our rooms. That is, any rooms you will not be using must be cancelled by Monday October 13. This is so that there will be an opportunity to reassign the room to a Harmony, Inc. member and so that HI will not incur a penalty for rooms booked but not used. The penalty for cancelling after October 13 is one night room plus tax.
