Presidents,

Below is the agenda for the South Central Regional Caucus this year in Marksville, La., April 25 thru the 29, 2011. I am proposing a $40.00 charge per attendant in order to offset expenses.

The contact information is Paragon Casino and Resort

1-800-win 1 win or simply put 1-800-946-1946

The Block of Rooms is under AFGE

I believe that the hotel is prepared to begin reserving rooms.

There is a golf course there so if you are coming in early enough on Monday we could possibly set something up for you. Please let me know if you have any problems. I also want the registration to be on Monday so if we have preregistered locals we could have the T-Shirts ready for you.

Feel free to remind me if I have forgotten anything. The RD has received this as well and includes a request for your official time.

Presidents, I have compiled the information required to reserve rooms in Corpus Christi April 26, thru April 29, 2010.

All three hotels are on Winward drive on North Padre Island. The Holiday Inn Beach Hotel is actually the host of the training and on the BEACH.
The phone number for the Holiday Inn is 361-949-8041. The code is AFGE
They have 25 standard rooms with 1 King or 2 Queen bed rooms for $92.00 + tax.
They have 25 side Beach rooms also for the same price $92.00 + tax.
There is a 72 hour cancellation policy and your federal ID is required or may be required for the price upon check in.
I do not have an offer for complimentary breakfast for this one.

Across the street Comfort Suites North Padre # 361-949-1112 and the code is American Federation of Govt. Employees.
They have 25 1 room suites withe 2 queen beds and sitting area with sofa sleeper for $95.00 + tax.
Federal ID required for the price and this one has a complimentary HOT Breakfast.

Next to the comfort suites is the Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham. Phone number is 361-949-2400
Again 25 one room suites with one Queen or one King for $89.00 + tax.
Complimentary Breakfast served every morning. Federal ID required.

All of the hotels are near one another and you can use the different deals to meet your needs. I hope this is helpful. The deadline for us to reserve for these prices is April 18, 2010, However, the sooner we book the rooms the better our ability to prepare. Please cc Richard at local4044@aol.com

As soon as we finalize the agenda I will send it out and to the rd.

Thanks,

Dale
