HOTEL INFORMATION:  Though our contract clearly states we have no drop date, our hotel has dropped our rooms.  I have been working on a resolution to this problem for pretty much the past 36 hours non-stop.  I do not see a bright outcome in the future with this hotel.  We are currently searching for a new hotel, and will post more information as soon as possible.   Please keep watch on here.   

9:26 PM - New hotel:   Country Inn and Suites  Nope ... That didn't work out.. still working

10:48 AM - New Hotel:  Wingate by Wyndham in St. Charles, MO.  This is about a half hour past St. Louis, and thankfully they just had a team cancel.  Thanks Sandy Smith for finding this.  Any parents who booked rooms in the Fairfield Inn to be with us are encouraged to get out of your room if you can, let them know what they did to us was wrong, and find a hotel closer to us.  Unfortunately, I think this hotel only has 1 room available on Saturday night, unless someone else cancels.  If you want to stay at the Fairfield, that is fine.  If you have a no cancel reservation, I would suggest calling Marriott Cares at 1-800-535-4028 and having them look up the issue under my first and last name, and explain you booked a room to be with us and that since they did not honor the group contract, you should get a full refund also.   Make sure you have a room before you cancel yours though.

Student Ambassador training:
  • Wed, 3pm, Room 261 AND
  • Thursday, 10am, Ferrara Theatre 
  •  
Departure:  Meet at the center at 8:00 AM - Park on the north side of the curb (or in the parking lot) to unload so that there is space for the bus right along the curb by the doorway.   Put suitcases on the grass or sidewalk unless it is raining.  If raining, you can put them in the center.  We will depart as soon as we are loaded.

Return Home:  The bus is scheduled to arrive home at 8:30 PM on Sunday.  It is possible that we will arrive sooner.  If it looks like we can be home for dinner, we will skip our dinner stop and just head straight home.  Please be prepared to pick up your child between 6:00 and 10:00 PM on Sunday.  We will tweet our ETA throughout the day.  Follow us at @frc1023 to keep up to date, or like us at https://www.facebook.com/Bx1023 because the tweets show there as well.
