Dear
Friends and Fellow ALRONA Members,
As
you may know, we are experiencing difficulties making
reservations at The Desoto
Hotel in Savannah.
The hotel has been sold by the Hilton Group, and the change
in ownership will take effect as of August 1. Our contract
with the DeSoto will be honored, and we are looking forward
to a great time in Savannah..
No
regular on-line reservations method is operational as
of this point and, as previously announced, we recommend
that you contact the Group Rooms Coordinator
Tonya
Harris, tel. 912-443-2021 or email: tharris@thedesotosavannah.com
If
she does not answer her phone directly, please leave a
message with your phone number, indicating that you are
a member of ALRONA, and she will call you back in the
order the calls come in.
At
the present time, she will not be able to give you a confirmation
number. We were assured that this situation will be remedied
by August 1, and at that time our members will receive
an email with the confirmation of their reservation.
In
the meanwhile, we urgently request that you return your
attendance checklists with the hotel reservation information
to Margaret Eaton, at your very earliest convenience,
so Margaret can keep track of the attendance numbers as
well as compare her records with those of the DeSoto,
once their system is operational.
Your
cooperation in this unforeseen situation is highly appreciated.
Dear
Friends, the ALRONA Board is looking forward to seeing
many of you in Savannah !
Till
then.... Be well and stay well,
Helga
Levy
President
