<div> </div>

<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hi Everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have spent the past week contacting hotels to get pricing for the conference hotel room block for Thursday night, October 19th. I have included all of the hotel rate information I have received in this
<a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D9rWzon55KjO657x5AgsRD5lAJQmt5BDomZ_y8AKa9I/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">
spreadsheet</a>. I am still waiting to hear back from the Westin Tampa Harbour Island and Aloft Tampa Downtown however.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Based on the reasonable rate of $139 a night and the hotel location, my recommendation would be to reserve the block of 30 rooms at the
<a href="http://www.sheratontampariverwalk.com/" target="_blank">Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk</a> for the night of Thursday October 19th. It has a very nice location right on the Hillsborough River in downtown Tampa and on the new
<a href="https://thetampariverwalk.com/" target="_blank">riverwalk</a>, about a 16 minute walk to the Tampa Bay History Center.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are number of big concerts in Tampa on October 19th and 20th, including Bruno Mars on October 19th at the Amalie Arena in downtown Tampa, so we are hoping to confirm the room block with the hotel by early next week. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, due to how crowded and busy downtown Tampa will be on Thursday 10/19 because of the concert, we are now looking into the option of having both the afternoon board meeting and reception at the hotel instead of at the Tampa Bay History Center and the
Columbia Cafe. Due to the concert, there will not be any parking right by the history center that afternoon/evening. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Sheraton has the <a href="http://www.sheratontampariverwalk.com/restaurants-in-tampa">
River's Edge Lounge</a> that looks like it would work well for the reception at the hotel and I am still waiting to hear back on meeting space costs at the Sheraton. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please let me know by Friday July 21st if you have questions or concerns with securing the hotel room block and the board meeting space at the Sheraton Tampa Riverwalk. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Alyssa</div>
