THE HOTEL ROOM COST IS FIRMED UP...BUT THE INFORMATION IN THE NEWSLETTER TO
MAKE AND CONFIRM YOUR HOTEL RESERVATION NOW IS IN ERROR. THE CORRECT
PROVIDED BY STEVE A2Z IS:

The correct phone # is (888) 839-1775 , USE GROUP CODE VPM.

Then I went to www.marriott.com  and had some difficulty navigating so I called
& got the right directions.

On the home page  www.marriott.com:

1. In "Find A Hotel" type in Portsmouth VA then click FIND

2. When Search Results Come Up click on the words

3. "Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel and Waterfront Conference Center >>"

4. Then Fill In Check In/Out Dates, Number of Rooms, Number of Guests scroll
down to

GROUP CODE and enter VPMVPMA and click FIND.

Should come up as our group for $105.00/night (+taxes)

NOTE: Booking to arrive Aug 4 & depart Aug 7 shouldn't be a problem, the early,
late dates 8/2, 8/3, 8/8, 8/9 may hang us up because we can only get 10 rooms posted
per night, but when they fill up they'll put up another 10 rooms.
