Dear Folks,

This has been a very difficult year working with the Hilton Salt Lake City Airport Hotel which is now the Doubletree Salt Lake City Airport Hotel.   Since contacting the hotel in January of this year, I am working with the 3rd Banquet Service person trying to put together menus and also our setup, and a/v needs.

With the assistance of Dwayne Booth we have come up with some suggested registration fees but, we need your help please.  I need to know how many of are planning on attending the Fall Board Meeting in Salt Lake City so we can set our registration fee.

We are looking at these as the the registration fees as follows in order to breakeven on the Fall Board Meeting costs: 
40 people $125; 35 people $135; 30 people $155 and 25 people $185.
 
The contract with the hotel does not state a room rental charge but, if we do not make the $3,000 minimum for F & B we may have to pay for the rental of the room.  Only at 40 attendees do we spend more than $3,000.  Thus we have to pay extra $s to meet the minimum in the other 3 scenarios.  At 25 attendees it is $950 extra to meet the minimum.  So we might want to look at the room rental rate as a cost alternative.  The group room rate is $89 plus taxes.
 
Dwayne and I are both concerned that Salt Lake City isn't going to be a big draw to people's general tourist activities such as was New Orleans.

So, please let me know if you are planning on attending the board meeting in Salt Lake City and how many will be attending with you.

 
Thank you,

Paul
