2023 Spring Section Meeting | Apr 28 – 29
St. Augustine, FL | Florida First Coast Chapter | April 28 – 29, 2023
The Florida First Coast Chapter is thrilled to be hosting the 2023 Spring SE Section Meeting in the Oldest City in America, St. Augustine, Florida. They are still doing the planning but they are excited to share that it will be at Homewood Suites Hotel at 10 Prawn Street, St Augustine, FL 32084. There will be inspiring guest speakers, fun aviation activities, and of course food! It will be a great way to get to know your 99 sisters and network with others. The Florida First Coast chapter has made a 2023 SE Section Meeting Facebook page to keep you informed about this event.
There is a special hotel rate for the event dates from April 27 through May 1. $199 + tax for a King Studio Suite / $229 + tax for a 2 Queen Studio Suite. These prices include the hotel’s hot breakfast buffet. To receive the rate, just follow this link to the Homewood Suite Ninety-Nines Florida Rates or use the 99s Special Rate Code CHW99C by calling 904-575-2500. Please check out the Homewood Suites Amenities and Cancellation Policy. Because of the proximity to downtown St. Augustine parking is at a premium. Valet parking is only available to hotel guests. The valet parking fee will be waived when you make hotel reservations using the 99s Special Rate. You can learn more about parking in St. Augustine on Visit St. Augustion Parking page.
Founded in September 1565 by Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles of Spain, St. Augustine is the longest continually inhabited European-founded city in the United States – more commonly called the “Nation’s Oldest City.” Stroll the narrow lanes, enter the many museums, and visit historic landmarks such as Castillo de San Marcos, Ponce de Leon’s “Fountain of Youth,” and the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse. For 21st-century activities, consider family fun (a beach on the Atlantic), outdoor adventures (kayaking an inland waterway), golf (play where the pros play), fine dining (the fresh catch of the day), and shopping from colonial to chic. Plan your trip to St. Augustine by visiting the Visit Florida website.
