HOST HOTEL The host hotel for the 2024 Gathering will be the Holiday Inn Express Myrtle Beach-Broadway at the Beach.

All rooms have refrigerators, microwaves, a Keurig, hairdryers, an iron/ironing board, and a safe that is programmable. There is a complimentary breakfast. The facility is dog friendly, for an extra fee. It is also a NO SMOKING facility.
