This year’s Gulf States Camera Club Council convention will take place from April 8-10 in Corpus Christi. The official convention hotel is the Holiday Inn Airport, 5549 Leopard, Corpus Christi, TX. The phone number is (361) 289-5100.
Rooms for the convention are reportedly going fast. The most recent update that I received stated that Barbara Jendrusch called the Holiday Inn and was told there are 22 rooms left for the GSCCC convention at the reduced price. If you call to reserve a room, be sure to mention that it is for the GSCCC convention. The rate is $69 a night. If no rooms are available at the Holiday Inn, or if this price is too high for you, don’t panic. While the Holiday Inn is the official convention hotel, staying there is not a requirement to attend. There are many other hotels and motels in the Corpus Christi area. For example, I did an online search and found that rooms at Motel 6 and La Quinta Inn are closer to $40 a night.
At this time, a schedule of events planned for the convention is unavailable. When a schedule is released, that information will be shared.
