"April 15, 2005 is more than just a deadline for the IRS," said Convention 2005 Planning Chair Michael Greany. "We have accomplished something really incredible by California standards. June is the beginning of our southern California vacation period, when local hotel and motel rates typically seem to increase. But the Convention 2005 Planning Committee has locked in some rates that are absolutely incredible, and will be available before, during and after for all Convention attendees staying at the Ayres Suites. But we need to get our confirmations submitted or we jeopardize this great offer." "You can come early or stay late," said Greany. "The Convention rates will apply for those who arrive early or those who delay their departure. There will be no difference in the daily rate, and all Ayres Suites luxuries will still be available. It's an incredible deal for any convention attendee."
