Messengers to the 2010
Baptist State Convention of North Carolina (BSC) annual meeting will be able to
stay at the headquarters hotel, the Sheraton Four Seasons in Greensboro, for a
discounted rate of $99 per night, $112.61 including tax.
This pre-pay rate, which is
the same for king and double rooms, is only available at the BSC annual meeting
web site. Reservations cannot be
made by calling the Sheraton or the BSC. A reservation is refundable if notice
of cancellation is given at least 24 hours prior to time of check-in.
All messengers staying at
the Sheraton receive free wireless Internet.
This year’s annual meeting
will be held, as it was last year, at the Koury Convention Center in
Greensboro. The Sheraton Hotel is located on the
same property as the Convention Center.
High participation by messengers
rooming at the hotel will keep ancillary costs of the other meeting spaces
down.
“By staying at the Sheraton,
messengers have everything — their hotel room and access to all the meeting
halls — under one roof,” said John Butler, BSC executive leader for business
services. “You never have to leave the convention center. I believe North
Carolina Baptists who stay at the Sheraton will find this set up very
convenient.”
Butler also said making room
reservations online, as opposed to mail-in registration or even phone and
e-mail registration, greatly reduces cost and time spent by staff processing
the reservations.
Reservation deadline is Oct.
31.
Reservations made after Oct. 31 must be made directly with the Sheraton
Hotel at their normal rate.
