** Room Rates - $95 a night, for 1 to 4 people **

Our hotel will be the Holiday Inn - Southwest and Viking Conference Center  
in South St. Louis County. 
They are currently undergoing a complete re-decoration which will be 
completed well in advance of our Convention. 

Most of our events & activities will take place off the main Concourse.
The Exhibits, Dealers, Ballroom & programming all open 
onto this bright wide meeting area.

There is a workout room, an indoor pool and a large hot tub.

They have one attached restaurant and a nightclub; and the area is rife with restaurants. 
Also plenty of FREE parking.
The comfortable Lobby Bar is right by check-in!

Be aware - the Grand Ballroom ceiling is only 11 feet high, with chandeliers 
somewhat less; we will be using 16" risers but
it's still fairly low clearance - please plan accordingly.

You can now make your reservations; 
calling the local number is recommended.

Important Note: If you are planning on a rental car while in town, our event
planner warns us that there is a very large High School Science Teachers Convention
in downtown St. Louis that weekend ( no, I'm not kidding ) 
& rental cars get snapped up early.

Important Note #2: Opening Day for the 2007 Baseball Season is April 1st.
For those of you who weren't paying attention ( or didn't care ), 
the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series for 2006.
Which means even more Downtown traffic that day & even scarcer Rental cars.

The convention rate will be good until February 27, 2007
as long as rooms are available.
