Dear R Zeke:

By now, you should have received a purple brochure with information about the upcoming annual Humanists of Florida Association conference. This will be a very exciting conference and I look forward to seeing you there. But first, a quick important reminder about the hotel. If you are coming from out of town and are planning to come to the Humanists of Florida Association conference in June (June 7 -9th 2002), please be aware that the block of rooms that were reserved for us at the Wingate Inn on Fowler in Tampa (site of the conference) are only being held until May 7th.

That means that after Tuesday a room is not guaranteed - although you can still receive the same rate if they have a room available. So, here is the information you need in order to make your reservations. I recommend that you call and make reservations today. Then, fill out and return the conference registration form to me.

The hotel is called the Wingate Inn. It is located on 3751 E. Fowler Avenue. The local telephone number is 813-979-2828. Long distance can be reached by calling 800-228-1000. Anyone seeking to make a room reservation should say it is for the Humanists of Florida Conference. The rate is $65.00 per night and breakfast is included. There will be a block of rooms held until May 7. After this date the price will remain the same, but rooms at the Wingate Inn cannot be guaranteed. If possible people should try to reserve a room by May 7 if not sooner since cancellation is permitted up to 4:00pm the date of arrival. In effect, there is nothing to lose by making a reservation early.

Complete details about the conference are available at:
