Dear Reverend Clergy and UOL members,
This past week proved to be a challenging with our chosen Convention hotel closing due to Hurricane Helene damage. It added more work to our plates to be able to find a comparable hotel that could host us. Thankfully, we were able to find one. We have a contract with the Westshore Grand (westshoregrand.com) in Tampa, Florida. Our room rate is $139/night for single or double. The room rates apply for 3 days before and 3 days after our Convention Dates: July 23-27, 2025.
The Westshore Grand is only 3 miles from Tampa International Airport and offers a shuttle. It is 5 miles to Downtown Tampa, and 15 miles to the beaches. They offer Marriot points, free Wifi, complimentary parking (should you choose to rent a car), and it has a pool on the 9th floor. The hotel has Hotel Dining and is within walking distance of PFChangs, Maggianos, Seasons 52, Besito Mexican, Panera Bread, Fresh Kitchen, and Starbucks.
Outside of the change in hotel, all other Convention events remain the same. We will have the Registration form up as soon as we tack down a food and beverage package. We are working as fast as possible and really appreciate your patience. This will not affect in any way the integrity of the Convention. You will be there, so it will be great!
As we get the information, we will let you know about it. Again, your patience while we make necessary adjustments has been appreciated greatly. Thank you for your grace in this matter.
With that, stay tuned for more information very very soon!
With Love in Christ,
Matushka Laryssa Charest
