President of ACB of Texas (ACBT)
Howdy folks!!! We greet you from the great state of Texas. We eagerly await your trip to Houston next summer for the 2002 ACB national convention. As you may already know, the convention will be held from Saturday, June 29 through Saturday, July 6, in the Adam’s Mark Hotel, which is located at 2900 Briarpark Drive (at Westheimer Road) in West Houston.
The Adam’s Mark is a big hotel with 600 rooms, which can be reserved for $65 per night plus tax for single and double, $75 per night plus tax for triple and quad. You can call, toll free, for reservations at 1-800-444-ADAM (2326) or visit them on the world wide web at: http://www.adamsmark.com/houston/index.htm. Alternatively, you can call the hotel directly at (713) 978-7400 or fax them at (713) 735-2727.
The Hilton Hotel diagonally across the street from the Adam’s Mark is the overflow hotel. Room rates at the Hilton are the same. The phone number is (713) 974-1000.
Exhibits, most meetings, and other functions of the convention will take place at the Adam’s Mark. However, since meeting space is limited, some activities may take place at the Hilton. The walking distance between the hotels is about a block and a half, and shuttles will operate between the two hotels.
We’ll be giving you more details about all the wonderful entertainments and accommodations that Houston has to offer as well as specifics concerning the 2002 convention in all the upcoming issues of “The Braille Forum,” so dig that denim out of your closet and shine up your boots and spurs, because the folks in ACBT can hardly wait for you to arrive!
