WEATHER UPDATE: FROM SATURDAY TO WEDNESDAY THERE IS A CHANCE of mixed sun and rain…
WE ARE IN THE “HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS EAST” which is on Alliant Drive, Jeffersontown (suburb of Louisville)….remember the street as there are a number of Holiday Inns in the area….
BUS TRANSPORTATION:
***The bus from our hotel to and from the Kentucky Expo Center is the #6 Bus: NEON PINK COLOR CODE (how nice for us!) Our Hotel is the Holiday Inn Express East in the bus listing.
***If your chapter is renting a van or car, parking at the KEC is as follows: $6 fee with NO IN-OUT PRIVILEGE! (OUCH!) Best DEAL: Get the $36 Conference Pass with UNLIMITED IN-OUT privileges at the KEC parking pass booth near the Headquarters area.
***Be aware that on our bus route there are five other hotels, so plan accordingly. Allow at least 40 minutes to get from the hotel to the Kentucky Expo Center, where the events are held. Then allow another 30 minutes to locate and get to your event and sign in…
