HOT NEWS!!!

Introducing Hotel & Lodging Deals for Eastern Freestyle in 2010

To all parents, athletes, coaches, officials and spectators attending 2010 Eastern Freestyle events:

My name is Marnie Hock. I am a parent of one of the freestyle athletes and I have negotiated group hotel and condo room blocks at most resorts that are hosting Eastern Freestyle events this winter in an attempt to provide less expensive accommodations and an ease of making reservations for all.

Please see the below schedule for information on how to book your reservations. Phone numbers and websites are provided. When calling into Reservation Departments, individuals should identify themselves as part of Eastern Freestyle and the block & rates will be made available unless a specific code is given below. If the reservation is made less than 30 days out, Reservation Departments may not have a block available but will offer the rates outlined below if there is space. Please make your reservations as soon as possible to take advantage of this program. Until we know how many attendees will use this new system, we cannot place a large block. Next year, we will be able to have these blocks placed much earlier in the season for all to take advantage of. These blocks will be updated as we add hotel rates and if the schedule changes. Please check frequently for new information as it becomes available.

Coaches and teams, please contact me, Marnie Hock, for assistance with group blocks of 10 rooms or more at mhock@helmsbriscoe.com or if you need any assistance with this process. DO NOT CONTACT EASTERN FREESTYLE OR DEB WILL BE REALLY MAD!!! ;)
