SPECIAL NOTE FROM NABCA


         It was with great anticipation that NABCA planned to return to the

         newly  renovated  JW  Marriott  Marco  Island  for  this  year’s  Annual
         Conference.  The new conference facility would open a world of
         meeting opportunities. Unfortunately, a few months ago we were
         notified that not all of the renovations at the JW Marriott Marco Island
         would be completed in time for the May conference. While all the
         existing public space has been renovated and all the sleeping rooms   Lodging
          have been upgraded, construction of the new conference center and
          sleeping room tower ran afoul of more than the usual delays. Last
          year’s winter weather impacted the start of foundation work and this
          year’s problem with installing the trusses impeded progress on the
          ballrooms and the premium sleeping rooms in the new tower. While     Information
          we were looking forward to improving on the “Town Center” concept
                                                                                         Please note that NABCA is not
          implemented at the Hilton Orlando this past May, we will return to
                                                                                         responsible for your lodging
