Update on Hispanic Conference in Salt Lake City October 2006
The Hispanic Conference in Salt Lake City will be held Friday, October 13th
and Saturday, October 14, 2006. There is no charge for any of the
seminars and you do not have to pre-register. All the presentations will be
in Spanish and the speakers are bilingual. The schedules will follow in a
separate e-mail.
1. Salt Lake Plaza Best Western Hotel has a limited number rooms for us at
$82.00 plus tax for a room for two persons. It is located next door to the
FHC Library. Their website is:
www.plaza-hotel.com and their toll free number is: 1-800-366-3684. You have
to mention "Ranchos Genealogy Group" to get the discounted price since there
are a few rooms reserved for us. There is NO free continental breakfast
but they have a nice restaurant that serves a buffet as well as good menu
selections. Since October is a very busy time for them I was only able to
hold a small block of rooms from October 8th through October 15th. You can
choose to stay ANY number of days between Oct 8th - 15th but you would have
to check with them to see if rooms are available for any other dates.
2. Howard Johnson Express Inn offers us a rate of $35.00 plus tax (total
$39.32) for a single queen bed room and a rate of $49.00 plus tax (total
$55.05) for a
room with two double beds for 1 to 4 persons. Go to "Google" and type in
"Howard Johnson Express Salt Lake City" to see their facility. Their toll
free number is: 1-800-541-7639. Ask for Mira or Connie and mention
"Ranchos Genealogy Group" for the special rate. They offer a FREE
continental breakfast (coffee, juice, bagels, cold cereal, etc) and they
are walking distance from the Library (about two blocks). There is a free
trolley that passes nearby and takes you to the Library if you do not want
to walk. This hotel is able to provide rooms for us for any number of days
you might need......provided reservations are made EARLY.
Both hotels provide shuttle service to and from the airport. Upon your
arrival at the Salt Lake City airport you can call 801-521-3450 for shuttle
service to Howard Johnson Express Inn. For those staying at the Salt Lake
Plaza Best Western you can call 801-521-0130 for their shuttle service.
There are courtesy telephones available near the baggage area of the
airport.
Each person will be responsible for making their own reservations, travel
arrangements, etc
Please let me know if you are interested in going, the number of persons
attending, the dates you will attend, etc.
