Laymen's Charlotte Headquarters Hotel

Hilton Charlotte City Center Hotel

$129 Per Night - Not $109

 

 

 

 

During the National Congress of Christian Education it was announced that the laymen's headquarter hotel in Charlotte, NC for the annual session was $109 per night. The information the laymen had was erroneous information.

 

The laymen's headquarter hotel is the Hilton Charlotte Center City located at 222 E. 3rd Street. The rate is $129.00 per night plus taxes.

 

If you have previously reserved your room and the rate is beyond your budget, please contact Bill Campbell and he may be able to assist you in reserving another hotel.

 

There is a Hilton Garden Inn for $109.00 that is two blocks from the convention center that may have some availability. Please contact Bill Campbell immediately so he may assist you.

Laymen Classes to Start at 8:00 a.m.

 

Everett Woods

Everette Woods, supervisor for the Dr. Allen Jordan Division wants to get the word out that the classes held at the Renaissance Airport St. Louis begins each day at 8:00 a.m.

The Congress program book is incorrect. He needs everyone's help to spread the word so everyone can make their class on time, especially those who normally don't take classes where the laymen convene.
