The dates of April 11-15 have been set for the Spring Festival in 2012, in Tempe, AZ. Once again, we have the Embassy Suites reserved for our event. The hotel is under new ownership but all of the previous amenities will continue with the added plus of having all suites receiving upgraded bed and bath linens and new flat screen TV’s. Fortunately, the excellent staff has been retained and they are anxious to have us there again.
Go to:
www.embassysuitestempe.com for hotel details.
The room rate is $102.00 per night, which is still a bargain, considering the entire package that we receive. And, because of the numbers we bring in, the charges for meeting space and set up fees are very minimal.
Our block of rooms will be held for
us until March 12,
2012. After that
date, the hotel is free
to release the balance of our room block to others.
Last year there were some very late
registrants and it was not easy to get the convention room rate for
them. The hotel has
a very lenient cancellation
policy if your plans change. This
is a
very popular hotel for nearby ASU and they house many of the spring
sport teams
and families. So,
please register early
and be sure you have a room.
For reservations it is best to call the hotel directly and tell them you are coming for the Barbershop event. 480-797-7444. Use this number for the complementary airport shuttle as well.
Golf will be available on Thursday
and Friday. Call
Jim Milner at 480-820-2151 (jrmilner@cox.net)
to get into a
foursome. Tell Jim
your preferred voice
part so he can make up quartet to sing on each tee box.
A schedule of events will be posted
as we get closer to the
dates.
To get a jump start on your quartet weekend, plan to arrive on Wednesday, April 11th. The Arizona Quartet Chapter will again host an evening of quartet singing at the American – Italian Club, 7509 N. 12th St., Phoenix, AZ. It all begins at 5:30 pm with the spaghetti buffet provided by the club for a mere $7.00 a plate with meatballs, salad and bread. Quartet time begins at 7:00 pm and there will be several rounds of ‘draw’ quartets. Transportation can be provided from the hotel. Contact me at rmtous@msn.com but please do so early enough that I can make arrangement for the cars.
See you there !!
