Wouldn't we all like to see our country, church and society become “more perfect”? Of course, one person's treasure is another's garbage. Changes that some welcome are society's decline for others. The Affirmation conference for 2007 will focus on the changes occurring around us and what would lead to a more perfect union or to more perfect unions between individuals, families and other groups. Join us in Washington, D.C. over the weekend of October 5-7, 2007 to explore both these ideas and one of the most fascinating tourist destinations in the world. Mark your calendar now, or better yet, book your room!

We will be holding the conference at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, located at 400 New Jersey Ave, NW, Washington, DC 20001. For more information and a picture of the location, visit the conference web site at http://conference.affirmationdc.org. This is an incredible location for first time or repeat visitors to D.C. The picture on the web site is NOT trick photographer—the hotel is only three blocks from the US Capitol itself and thus the same distance from the National Mall and all the museums and monuments you can visit in a week are located. Come early or stay late and make take advantage of this opportunity to visit Washington.

Hotel rooms in Washington, DC are at a premium and not inexpensive. Affirmation has negotiated a very good rate (for city like Washington) of $149 per night (plus tax of 14.5%) for single through quad occupancy. Reservations MUST be made by telephone to take advantage of the Affirmation group rate. Call the hotel at 1-800-233-1234 or (202) 737-1234. Sorry, no internet reservations at this point. The Affirmation roommate finder feature is available if you would like to cut costs or have company. Get your friends to come and stay together! Affirmation has a limited room block reserved. We highly recommend reserving early if you are coming, because the hotel is expected to sell out and rooms are not likely to be available after our room block is gone and it will not be easy to find other rooms downtown at these rates.

The Washington, DC Chapter promises you a conference to remember in an unforgettable city. Don't be left without a place to stay in October!
