GROUP HOTELThe group hotel is: Comfort Inn & Suites Presidential 707 Interstate 30 Little Rock, AR 72202 To get the group discount of $119 for the night of June 26, 2025, contact the hotel at (501) 687-7700 and tell them you are with the Delta Caucus group. We have a contract with the hotel and the personnel are thus obligated to include you in the Delta Caucus group, but sometimes if they have a new or not well-informed staffer who does not know about our group, you can ask to speak to the sales manager, Sierra Logan. Most people stay the one night of June 26, check out in the morning and store their luggage, and then come back and pick up the luggage after the June 27 session on the morning and lunch is over. We also have some rooms in our group for the night of Friday, June 27, 2025, for anyone who wishes to stay another night. There are significant places to visit in Little Rock including the Clinton Library and Center, the state Capitol, and the River Market area. Please send in the registration fees ASAP because it complicates our planning and creates bottle-necks if many people wait until the last minute to register. We hope to see you in Little Rock on June 26-27, 2025. Thanks–Lee Powell, executive director, Delta Grassroots Caucus (202) 360-6347 |
