Do You Know Where To Park?
Kasey Griffith Convention of KSC 0
Convention is quickly approaching. Here are some tidbits you might be wondering about.
HOTEL ASSIGNMENTS
Allison Grice, Kansas State Chapter registrar, will notify you by email two weeks prior to convention as to which hotel you will be staying at for your P.E.O. “fun”cation. Please, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, place a call to the hotel to inquire about room reservations. Kansas State Chapter is making these arrangements. Only Allison knows where you will be staying. Thanks in advance for honoring this request. If you have questions, you may contact the registrar at kscpeoallisongrice@gmail.com.
ROOMMATES
If you have requested that the registrar assign your roommate, she will notify you by email two weeks prior to convention. Hey! Guess what! Only Allison knows who your roommate is, too.
ARRIVAL TO CONVENTION
Please park in the parking lot behind the Hilton Garden Inn or in the parking garage attached to the Manhattan Conference Center. Check in at your hotel will be after 3:00 p.m. You can certainly check with your assigned hotel to see if your room is ready early but please be patient with the hotels and staff as they prepare the rooms for us. If you are not assigned to the Hilton Garden Inn, you can move your car to your hotel before you check in.
