Hi Everyone,

We have a number of rooms reserved at Wayne State University but very few people have chosen to stay there.  Please let your partners and networks know about this option.  Emily has extended the deadline to sign up for these rooms until April 23.

Alternative Housing at Wayne State University

You have the option to stay at alternative housing in dorms at Wayne State University.  CFSC has reserved a limited number of double rooms at a lower price than at the Marriott at the Renaissance Center (where the conference is taking place). Wayne State is about 3.5 miles (30 min bus ride) away – please see this map http://bit.ly/F2Chousing .
 
Waye State Prices:
1 Night = $52 per person
2 Nights  = $82 per person
3 Nights = $112 per person
4 Nights = $142 per person
5 Nights = $172 per person
 
*If you are driving, you will need to pay for parking as well.
 
If you want to stay at Wayne State, please follow this link to a survey and pay online:
http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AEV54VLRC

You must complete the survey and pay by April 23.
 
Hotel reservations at the Marriott should be made by as soon as possible. A special rate of $115/night for single or double rooms is available for conference attendees. Reserve online or call (800) 352-0831 and use the group code FAR.  http://bit.ly/bb3usH
