Re: Convention Rooms

[John Jones <100h@rewrite.aisboard.org>]

I just did the same but have a couple of tips for you all:

Call the hotel: (515) 245-5500

If you ask for the special rate for the American Iris Society, they won’t find the special rate. You have to ask for the IRIS SOCIETY special rate.

Ask to be put on the wait list for Monday 22d convention rate regardless of making a separate reservation (at a higher rate) for the 22d.

Be sure to follow-up as we hear more from Kelly

When this gets sorted out please check with the hotel for people who went ahead and booked Monday so they can be moved into the group.  I wanted to be sure to get a room in the convention hotel.
