Great News!
The contract is signed, and the dates are cast in stone for the 2002 BRHS
Annual Convention...September 12-15, 2002. Since the contract is signed, and
our room blocks are made, you may now make your hotel reservations by
calling the St. Louis Airport Marriott at: 1-800-228-9290
Be sure to tell them you are with the Burlington Route Historical Society
Convention and confirm they've given you the $69.00 rate - almost HALF of
the normal $129 rate. I've also negotiated free parking for BRHS Convention
attendees, which is normally $4.00 per day.
Mark you calendars, ask for your vacations, 'cause this will be a meet you
won't want to miss! (If we sound excited...WE ARE!)
