We Must Attend AND Support the Third National Autism Awareness Rally:
"The Power of ONE! I.D.E.A."
APRIL 21
These annual rallies in Washington are critical to the
development of
statewide and nation wide grass roots advocacy networks. This needs to
happen for every state if we are to preserve and expand the supports
for our
children, like the funding of the I.D.E.A.
Your attendance and/or donations of support for this year's rally
April 21 is fundamentally important. All of the major Autism
Organizations
from Cure Autism Now, FEAT to the Autism Society of America back the
Rally.
For those who are planning to attend, if you are looking for a
place
to stay while in DC in April, the Capitol Hilton might just be the
place for
you!
ROOMS ARE GOING FAST!
NEW RATE OFFERED AT $129.00 PER NITE
Unlocking Autism has temporarily held a block of rooms at a rate
of
$129 per night plus tax. The original rate they offered was $145 but
they
have dropped the price and extended the sign up date to help secure the
business of the autism community. They want to be the host hotel for
years
to come!!
There are some left. The hotel has agreed to extend this special
rate
to us but you must register through Unlocking Autism to get it.
The hotel is 3 blocks from the White House and 4 blocks from the
Mall.
It will provide close access to the rally site for families visiting
this
year!
If you are interested in these rooms, they are only being held
for a
limited time. You will still have the option to cancel later if you
need
to. If you think you are coming to DC and you want to hold a room at
this
rate, PLEASE send us your information over this weekend. A final
rooming
list will be turned into the hotel on Tuesday, March 12th. We are not
holding a block of rooms anywhere else in DC.
If you have already sent in your name, do not resend your
information.
Your rate has already automatically been reduced.
Hope to hear from you soon and we will see you in DC!
