Uptown Shopping Mall within a block;  Coronado Shopping Mall across the street;  close proximity to all kinds of local amenities,
and extra-special discounts offered specifically for Sheraton guests. 

  
We will no longer be tucked away in the mountains for AC.
We will instead be right in the midst of our mission field.
In the real world, the costs are different, the
daily procedures are different, the people surrounding
us will be different and new.
It is important for our own new beginnings
that we come together in one place.
Centered.

Please consider staying at the Sheraton Uptown if at all possible
for Annual Conference 2012.
