Brethren, July 1st is the Deadline for getting rooms at our low room rate at the Hilton Jackson. A few rooms are still available. The easiest way to be sure you get the correct rate is to use the website link below. If you call, please be sure to use the 601 number below and immediately inform them that you need to make a reservation under a GROUP CODE. If you are told there are no rooms available, please ask for Carrie Kent and she will do all she can to secure you a room at our rate. As that Carrie runs ALL groups at the Hilton, please try to see if the person answering the phone will help you before asking for her, as you may only get her voicemail.
At the bottom of this event listing is the tentative agenda for our Annual Communication.
Dress code for the business meeting on Friday is ‘as usual’ – please remember to bring your Apron and, if applicable, the Jewel of your Office.
Per the Hilton, the hotel itself will NOT require the use of Face Masks – however, anyone attending may still chose to wear one if they wish. Hand sanitizer will still be stationed throughout the hotel for your use as well.
