Hotel booking special deadline for Washington DC Meetup

Tomorrow is the last day to book your suite at the MEBO rate of $89/room (not per person) per night at Embassy Suites Dulles Airport for our Washington DC meetup for 08 April 2011 - 11 April 2011. You can reserve a room without obligation using a credit card to guarantee the rate. Funds will not be held by your credit card account nor will charges be made to it until you check out after your hotel stay. You can cancel your reservations up to 24 hours prior without a penalty. For online reservations, please visit the website, http://embassysuites.hilton.com/en/e...c_id=POG#hotel and book your hotel stay directly, or call 1-800-445-8667 and give the MEBO Group/Convention Code:MER

Room rates include :

• Complimentary daily full breakfast per person,
• Complimentary daily 2-hour Manager's Reception, serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and snacks
• Complimentary Dulles Airport shuttle,
• Free self-parking.

After midnight Friday night, the rooms held for us will go back into the hotel's inventory, and you could still reserve your suite, but with regular rates and more restrictions.

I hope to see many of you there. We have a full agenda consisting of a 4 hour conference on Saturday morning at 11:00a.m., after our buffet breakfast, which ends at 10:30a.m. on Saturday, eating meals together, socializing at the Manager's Reception, and visiting sites at this beautiful city.

Our conference will begin at 11:00a.m. and consist of the following topics:

1. Even though Dr. Cheryl Fields (Dr. Stillstanding) cannot attend the meetup in person, she has offered to do a simple conference call with a speakerphone on the table (not a webinar) during this phase of our meetup, and do a presentation on employment and/or human relations/community resources with us followed by an informal Q&A and discussion session. (approximately 1 hour or less). Additional information about the logistics of the conference call will be forthcoming.
2. Another member will do a presentation on Dr. John Cashman's Interview posted in MEBO's Blog on the FMO3 metabolic enzymes and some its various types of deficiencies, including but not limited to TMAU, resulting in multiple types of odor resulting from different types of substrates. (approximately one hour or less)
3. I will close the session with information on Raising Awareness Campaign, including but not limited to community members printing and placing flyers in strategic locations, and to discuss MEBO's International Testing Programs, including but not limited to TMAU, MEBO's International Program, with new testing and research opportunities MEBO is pursuing worldwide, and Glenna's Public Relations activities working closely with other body odor organizations and establishing relations with our US Senators to promote the NORD Fund, other research efforts and general raising awareness efforts. (approximately 1 hour or less)

We expect to be able to find a media that we can use that allows anyone from around the world to call in to this conference call to be a part of it. Everyone would be welcome to join us on the call, though no one would be required to speak during the call unless one chooses to do so.
