VOTING PAGE

MFI has been dreaming and debating a meeting of the organization which we could all FINALLY meet one another. We'd hope that we could get the entire Coordinator Council, Advisor's Council, Zone Coordinators, Chapter Chairpersons, and as many general members possible in ONE location for the first time. While the concept is daunting to say the least, it is possible if ONE factor holds true, that the MEMBERSHIP would like to attend. We can throw a party, but we need folks to come.

I have narrowed it down to two hotels (possibly a third in the DC Area) to decide upon. Both have attractive facilities and would serve our purposes very well.

Crown Plaza Hotel - Louisville, KY- Location that has been courting us to hold an annual event for some years. Recently underwent a 26 million dollar upgrade to their facilties. Old-fashioned Southern hospitality at Crowne Plaza Louisville. Located in the heart of Louisville, just minutes from the Louisville International Airport and major attractions like Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, the Louisville Zoo, and the Kentucky Exposition Center. Complimentary shuttle service. In true Southern style, providing all guests with free rides to the airport and any destinations.

While ther are no attactions that I think we can take advantage of in October, the Hotel does have a great bowling alley next door with a private party room and bar.

The Airport is also a stone's throw for the airport with a 5 minute shuttle ride to the airport provided by the hotel.

I've never seen this before at a hotel, but they have an ourdoor pool which is totally enclosed for the cold or inclement weather. This would be a perfect setting for a relaxing evening swim.

Doubletree Hotel - Washington, DC- Situated in the heart of our nation's capitol, the Doubletree Hotel Washington, DC is a chic, luxurious oasis in downtown Washington, DC. Indulge in a unique, upscale Washington, DC hotel, where boutique accommodations combine with distinctive lifestyle-enhancing amenities to create a rejuvenating atmosphere. An alternative to the hotels in downtown Washington, DC, our hotel combines natural design elements with modern technology in an exciting urban location.

• Unique boutique hotel with innovative terraced design in Downtown Washington, DC
• Walking distance to Dupont Circle, White House, K Street, and Smithsonian Museums
• Three miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)

I have been dying to visit the Air Space Museum and see the original filming model for the original series which is housed there, the only piece of fiction in that museum. What a place to hold a meeting, and to make it over there and lay eyes on the model that started it all!

+• Unique boutique hotel with innovative terraced design in Downtown Washington, DC<br>
-To that end, we are gathering information, hotel bids, and looking at budgets to not only provide you with a first rate convention experience, but to do so affordably and responsibly. So far we have three ideas on the table.
+• Walking distance to Dupont Circle, White House, K Street, and Smithsonian Museums<br>
-<br><br>
+• Three miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)
-) Our original Louisville, KY hotel. They have been since renamed the "Crown Plaza" and have done a few million dollars in renovations since 2004. They are also still VERY interested in hosting our premiere event and hope to entice us back annually.

-) Washington DC. Most of us know that the original filming model for the original series is housed at the Smithsonian Air Space Museum, what a place to hold a meeting, and to make it over there and lay eyes on the model that started it all!

-) Hunt Valley, MD. <sound of tires screeching> WHERE you ask. Every year a great fan run convention called Shore Leave comes to that town and have been doing so for 31 years. Shore Leave 32 is coming up in 2010 and we could be a part of it. We can't afford to pay even one Star Trek star to come out to our event. If we hold it at Shore Leave, we can have our cake and eat it to. We can enjoy our own event and activities, and then walk across the street and see the stars over at Shore Leave and enjoy their programming. Either way, this is a win win.
