Today, February 9, several people who called to reserve lodging at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel were told that the ARSC Room Block is full, or that the discounted Conference Rate of $129 per night had expired. This morning, I arranged for additional rooms to be added to the ARSC Room Block and for the Conference Rate to be extended for a few more days. If you had any trouble making a reservation, please call the toll-free Renaissance Central Reservations number again: (800) 468-3571. If the staff at that number cannot fulfill your request, call (216) 696-5600 and ask to speak with Belinda Young, the internal Reservations Coordinator at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel. She should be able to help! You're probably sick of hearing this, but I'll mention it one last time ... Today is the final day to register for the ARSC-SAM Conference and the ARSC Workshop "Topics in Oral History and Music Field Recordings," at the discounted Early Registration Rates. To get the reduced rates, your envelope must be postmarked no later than February 9, 2004. Full details at the Conference Web Pages: http://arsc-audio.org/2004conference.html See you in Cleveland!
