To All Bloggers:  Please help us spread this news. The two conference hotels (the Hilton and Holiday Inn) are filled.  We have been able to secure a  block of rooms at the Crowne Plaza Knoxville at the rate of $108/night for persons still needing lodging.  In order to receive the rate, you must contact the hotel directly at 865-522-2600 extension 2366 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. EDT.  Be sure to mention that you are with "Federation of Genealogical Societies" to receive this special group rate.  The hotel is 2.5 blocks from the Convention Center and is on the city of Knoxville's free trolley route.  It will take approximately 10 minutes via the trolley to reach the convention center.  A trolley arrives approximately every 15 minutes. The full service hotel features Mahogany's Restaurant and a Starbucks.  The hotel is only 2 blocks from the East Tennessee History Center. Lori Thornton lorithor@yahoo.com
