The 22nd ARES Annual Meeting returns to one of our favorite locales, Key West, Florida,site of our very popular 1993 Annual Meeting. Our headquarters hotels, the beautifully restored, recently renovated Wyndham Casa Marina and the elegant Wyndham Reach Resort, feature beachfront accommodation just ninety miles north of Havana. The weather during our April 19 ­ 22, 2006, meeting should be warm and sunny. Definitely bring lots of sunscreen. Warm, tropical World Class Water awaits you!!!

 

There are a variety of accommodation choices available. All of our meetings are at the historical Casa Marina. There, nonoceanview rooms are $180/night, oceanview rooms with balcony are $215/night, nonoceanview 1 BR suites are $215/night and oceanview 1 BR suites are $245/night. See: www.wyndhamcasamarina.com. The newer Reach Resort is several blocks from the Casa Marina and features Key West’s only natural beach and very spacious rooms. Nonoceanview rooms are $170/night, oceanview rooms are 205/night, nonoceanview junior suites are $205/night and oceanview junior suites are $235/night. All Reach Resort rooms have private balconies. See: www.wyndhamreachresort.com. The Key West room tax is 11.5%. There is normally a Resort Fee levied but this has been waived for ARES attendees. Parking is free. Check out the hotels’ websites and  you will see the fantastic room rate deal that ARES has arranged for you. I recommend the oceanview rooms with balcony at the Casa Marina or the oceanview junior suites at the Reach for the best Key West experience.

 

These rooms will sell out very fast as quantities are limited. Call 800­626­0777 or email: abaker@wyndham.com to book your accommodation immediately.

 

Be sure to bring your loudest Hawaiian wear for Friday’s Hawaiian Attire Contest which will be held at our 22nd Anniversary Celebration. The fantastic Sirmans Band, which rocked us in Captiva in 2004, has tentatively agreed to a repeat performance on Friday night. Be prepared to party!!!
