Discussion Only – Unit 194 Board Meeting re Can-At 2022

December 22, 2021 - Monday 4:45 pm

Highlights of report from Tim Margolian re Westin Hotel Can-At

· Preliminary basis The Westin will agree to $1500 convention space rate. Asked anticipated room nights. Monday through Thursday game schedule. Approx. 150 rooms total.

· Contract contains a reserve of a block of rooms, commit to a room rate – looking for a guarantee from Can-At committee.

· $43.450.00 is the amount for 150 rooms. Committee negotiated 75% of the block. Room rate $250.00

· This would total a shortfall of $10,000. Attendees must register through the hotel, not just stay there using Points, Promotional codes etc. Hotel will not budge on this.

· Thought? Go back to Westin and ask for a percentage of rooms booked outside of our block. Tim will re-approach Westin.

· Other considerations would be the Casino and the Old World Trade center. Not tied to room nights.

· We will ask Elliott to research the above options. Parking would be free at the Casino, options for choosing hotels in the area, lots of great restaurants on the waterfront.

· Thank you Linda - Jean
