Reprinted from FEAT:

We Must Attend AND Support the Third National Autism Awareness Rally:

" The Power of ONE! I.D.E.A. "

APRIL 21

These annual rallies in Washington are critical to the development of

statewide and nation wide grass roots advocacy networks. This needs to

happen for every state if we are to preserve and expand the supports for our

children, like the funding of the I.D.E.A.

Your attendance and/or donations of support for this year's rally

April 21 is fundamentally important. All of the major Autism Organizations

from Cure Autism Now, FEAT to the Autism Society of America back the Rally.

For those who are planning to attend, if you are looking for a place

to stay while in DC in April, the Capitol Hilton might just be the place for

you!

ROOMS ARE GOING FAST!

NEW RATE OFFERED AT $129.00 PER NITE

Unlocking Autism has temporarily held a block of rooms at a rate of

$129 per night plus tax. The original rate they offered was $145 but they

have dropped the price and extended the sign up date to help secure the

business of the autism community. They want to be the host hotel for years

to come!!

There are some left. The hotel has agreed to extend this special rate

to us but you must register through Unlocking Autism to get it.

The hotel is 3 blocks from the White House and 4 blocks from the Mall.

It will provide close access to the rally site for families visiting this

year!

If you are interested in these rooms, they are only being held for a

limited time. You will still have the option to cancel later if you need

to. If you think you are coming to DC and you want to hold a room at this

rate, PLEASE send us your information over this weekend. A final rooming

list will be turned into the hotel on Tuesday, March 12th. We are not

holding a block of rooms anywhere else in DC.

If you have already sent in your name, do not resend your information.

Your rate has already automatically been reduced.

Hope to hear from you soon and we will see you in DC!

For hotel and/or donation arrangements go to:
