MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

ABOUT THE 2005 KEES NATIONAL


Due to unforeseen circumstances and significant issues with our host hotel in Cincinnati, it has become imperative that a change of venue be made. Therefore, we are announcing a change of location for the 2005 National Specialty. This decision was made with considerable thought and effort by the committee. The new location is one of Marriott’s four Star premier facilities in Ohio. Located on the north side of Columbus, this hotel offers: indoor - outdoor pool, hot tub, work out room, jogging track, gift shop, Starbucks Coffee, spacious restaurant, bar, and ample areas for walking dogs.

The previous location was 45 minutes to an hour from the Cincinnati Airport with ground transportation costs running between $100.00 and $150.00 round trip.
