ANG Seminar February 2018 - 42

What if I need a roommate?

If you need a roommate, please indicate that on the
Registration Form. ANG's new website will enable you to
identify and connect with others who are looking for a
roommate, so please check the website for details. If you
would prefer to have a list of potential roommates mailed to
you, please contact the ANG Registrar's office. You may then
make your own arrangements. In addition, if you decide that
you need a roommate after you have registered, you may call
the ANG Registrar's office to inquire about adding your name
to the roommate list any time prior to July 15, 2018. The
Registrar will continue to share the roommate list as long as
there are unmatched persons available.

Registration Information

When do I make my hotel reservation?

MAKE YOUR ROOM RESERVATION EARLY!! Room
reservations at ANG's special rate may be made until the
block has been filled or until the hotel's July 28, 2018 cutoff
date. Please note that any change in your reservation may
change the rate and/or require payment of cancellation fees.
For reservations guaranteed with a form of payment at time
of booking, rooms are held until hotel check-out time the day
following scheduled arrival. Cancellations must be made at
least three days prior to arrival or a one night stay cancellation
penalty is charged. In the event of a no-show, a one room
night deposit will be charged to the credit card provided at the
time of reservation.

What is the Facilities Usage Fee?

A Facilities Usage Fee of $250 is a one-time charge for a
participant who is NOT staying at the Marriott Wardman
Park Hotel UNDER the ANG block of rooms for at least two
nights, and who is taking more than one day of classes.
By using the ANG block of rooms, you help to defray the
cost of the classroom, Exhibit, Seminar Shop, and banquet
and meeting room space that ANG needs and that you are
using when you come to Seminar. Not using the ANG block
of rooms costs ANG.

How do I get to Seminar?

If you are traveling by air, you can arrive at one of three
airports. The airports include Reagan National Airport (DCA),
Dulles International Airport (IAD) and Baltimore Washington
International Airport (BWI). DCA is closest to the hotel and
BWI is the farthest from the hotel. There is also train access
on Amtrak to Union Station. The Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Authority has subway service from DCA to
the hotel. There is also bus service from IAD to a subway
station in Reston and then subway service to the hotel. Visit
their website (https://www.wmata.com/) to determine the
best route to get to the hotel which is at the Woodley ParkZoo/Adams Morgan stop on the red line. Taxi, shuttle, and
limousine service is available from the airports.

If you are traveling by car, self-parking will be provided with a
15% discount and valet parking will be at prevailing rates.

What is the dress code for Seminar?

Dress casually and comfortably, and to ensure comfort, dress
in layers. Remember, Seminar is fragrance-free. The Welcome
and Farewell Banquets are not formal, but most participants
wear "elegant casual," somewhere between formal and casual.

What about the weather?

Washington, DC has bright, sunny summers and it may be
humid. During our stay, it is likely to be in the high 80's during
the daytime hours and mid 60's at night. Of course the hotel
will be air-conditioned! We do recommend, if you plan to be
out during the day, that you wear plenty of sunscreen and stay
well hydrated.

How will I receive the Seminar
newsletters?

The Seminar newsletters will be sent out by e-mail only.

How will I know what to bring to class?

About a month prior to Seminar, your teacher(s) will send
you a letter telling you what supplies to bring. Always plan
on bringing the supplies you usually stitch with: laying tool,
scissors, extra needles, etc. ADDITIONAL CLASSROOM
LIGHTING BROUGHT BY STUDENTS MUST BE BATTERYPOWERED. ANG NO LONGER ALLOWS THE USE OF PLUGIN LIGHTS, POWER STRIPS, OR EXTENSION CORDS FOR
