WEATHER ADVISORY

We are expecting temperatures near 80 degrees. This location does not have a lot of shade. We are working to secure misters and a cooling tent to help with heat and have ordered extra water bottles for the event. We will have an onsite medical team should anyone not feel well during the event. We urge you to take caution to protect yourself, and consider taking the following actions to be prepared:
– Bring your own additional bottles of water, or refillable water bottle.
– Wear Sunscreen, apply before you arrive at the event and re-apply during the event to prevent any sunburn.
– Wear loose and lightweight clothing on the day of the event.
– Wear a hat to protect your face from the sun.

For additional tips for events in hot weather, please refer to the CDC Heat Guide (English, Spanish)

LODGING INFORMATION

If you requested lodging and qualify, you will receive an email confirmation for your hotel once lodging has been confirmed with the vendor.

Deposit/Credit Card at Check-In: Members must follow hotel policies regarding providing a credit card for incidentals or deposits. When asked by hotel staff to provide a card for incidentals or deposit, union members must be prepared to follow hotel policy and provide a card.

Lodging with Animals: The definition of Assistance Animal (Service Animal) is the same as defined by Oregon Revised Statutes 659A.143. In accordance with this statute, members needing accommodations for an assistance animal will not be charged any additional fees for “pet” fees or charged for a single room. Members choosing to bring a pet which is not an assistance animal will be automatically placed in a single room and will be responsible for one-half (½) of the room charges as well as 100% of any additional pet fees.

Cancellations or Changes: If you are an SEIU member and need to cancel or make changes to these arrangements, please send an email to orders@seiu503.org. Cancellations must be submitted by 1 PM the business day prior to your check-in date to avoid late cancellation charges. Note: If you respond to only this message, it will not be seen.

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday!

In Unity,
SEIU Local 503
