MEMORANDUM 05-27
| TO: | Deans of Member and Fee-Paid Schools, Interested Registrants and Exhibitors at the 2006 Annual Meeting |
| FROM: | Jane M. La Barbera |
| SUBJECT: | Description of Suites Available at the 2006 Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. |
Katrina's tragic devastation of New Orleans has necessitated the relocation of the 2006 Annual Meeting to Washington , D.C. and requires moving the meeting one day earlier. Attached you will find floor plans and brief descriptions of the various suites that are available at the three participating hotels, the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, Hilton Washington and Omni Shoreham in Washington, D.C. for the AALS Annual Meeting to be held January 3-7, 2006.
You may reserve a suite for the 2006 Annual Meeting via internet, phone, fax or mail. If you choose to use the housing reservation form, it can be found at http://www.aals.org/am2006/hotel.html or in the Annual Meeting registration and housing reservation forms will be sent to you under separate cover. Please note that the Annual Meeting Registration Form is sent to a different location than the Housing Reservation Form.
All suite reservations must be made through the AALS Housing Bureau, not the individual hotels. They will be booked and confirmed pending AALS approval.
Suite reservations require a deposit by credit card or check. The Housing Bureau will not make your reservation unless a deposit is provided. The deposit amount is $300 for a one-bedroom suite or $420 for a two-bedroom suite at any of the hotels.
If your first choice of a suite is no longer available and there is a comparable suite (description and price) available at another hotel, the Housing Bureau will automatically assign it. If a suite type is not available and the next available type is an increase in price per night, the Housing Bureau will call you with available options.

Changes or cancellation of your hotel reservation before December 19th can be made after you have received your confirmation by contacting the Housing Bureau by phone (800) 492-7886, fax (800) 521-6017 or online at http://www.aals.org/am2006/hotel.html , (select “Online”). After December 19th , wait until December 27 th and then make the change or cancellation directly with your assigned hotel. Should you need to cancel your reservation, be sure to obtain a cancellation number from the hotel.
