Many of you indicated you'd like to share hotel accomodations. I have a list of those who need a "roommate"; if nobody objects, I can post it here and you guys can get in touch and work it out.
GOLDEN BOYS & GIRLS!
Don't forget to ask for a senior discount, if you qualify, when making hotel reservations. For example, at Marriott's Fairfield Inn, the senior rate is $84; the standard rate is $99.
A block of rooms at a discounted rate has been designated for us at The Country Inn and Suites at 1190 South Main in the Historic District. You'll need to call 636-724-5555 for reservations by September 15. To receive the discount, you must mention "Writers' Cafe" when you call. If you prefer to stay elsewhere, St. Charles has a complete range of hotels, motels, and B & Bs to choose from.
