...Time to Plan....Catholic University Graduation 2012

CUA
The holidays, when family members are likely to be home, are a good time to discuss plans with your college senior, or finishing-up graduate student...re: college graduation.... like how many graduation tickets will you be receiving, whether or not any grandparents will be coming, where everyone will be staying, and how you will get all that stuff home, or to where ever your student is going next.

This year, and unfortunately for families, Catholic, American, Howard, Trinity, and Marymount Universities all have their graduations scheduled for about the same time...unfortunately because the university graduations coincide with National Police Week, 2012, which means that May 10 - May 16, the DC area will be filled to the gills, hotels will be tight, hotel rates higher than usual, restaurants jammed, more vehicles than usual, because of all the police cars and motor cycles, and National Police Week events around the Mall and Cap Hill...
Planit Meetings welcomes families coming to Washington to celebrate graduations... Because we have room blocks, at every price point, all over the Washington, DC area, for National Police Week, we can offer the lowest hotel room rates that are needed, near the university, whose graduation festivities people will be joining...

Let us help you with your graduation weekend hotels and related logistics, like getting around the city on public transportation, making restaurant reservations, getting special sightseeing in, in between attending graduation events.

As a parent, who recently went through the college graduation weekend, and who looks forward to going through it again right here in Washington, DC, I know what you're going through... easier and not easier than you think.

A couple of days ago, Planit Meetings helped a woman, re: her son's Catholic University graduation, who didn't want to stay at one of the Virginia hotels, where Catholic U has a room block, because her ex husband and his family were staying there, and she just didn't want to deal with running into her ex at her child's graduation. I totally understand that one. Also helped a CUA dad, who has mobility issues, and wanted to stay as close as possible to CUA's campus, so he wouldn't have to deal with the shuttle... We can handle ALL your special needs, and give you CUA room block rates!
