2025 AFSA Convention
The Historic Menger Hotel
San Antonio, Texas
October 12-15, 2025
Mark your calendars for October 12-15, 2025, and start planning on having a great time in San Antonio, Texas, home of the iconic Alamo, and the very famous San Antonio Riverwalk. Final arrangements for our rooms at The Menger Hotel are now complete and we have locked-in a block reservation for our members at the fantastic rate of $139.00 per night plus tax, for a total of approximately $164.32. As a bonus, we were also able to secure the same block rate for up to three nights before and three nights after our core dates.
In order to help us with our planning, you can now secure your room at the above block rate. To do so, you have two choices:
- If you plan to attend the four-day convention, then you can make your reservation online by clicking on the following link:
This link will take you directly to the site where you can reserve the type of room that you desire. In the event that you plan to arrive before, or stay later than our core dates, you will have to remember to click on the “Update” tab that is on the site. That will also allow you to reserve any of the three shoulder dates before and after our core dates of October 12-15, 2025. If you need an ADA room, you will have to follow the instructions in # 2 below.
- Your second choice for making a reservation is to call the hotel Reservation Department at 800-345-9285. You can simply give them the Group Code “AFSA” and that will identify you as being with the AFSA Convention and it will secure the $139.00 rate for you. If you need an ADA room, you can also request one with at this number. If the reservationist is unable to reserve the ADA room for you, then you can ask to speak with Marcia Sheingold, the Director of Sales and she will secure one for you. Note: If you have any issues at all, feel free to call Dan Pieschel at 859-466-7677 or email him at djpieschel@gmail.com.
A summary of the anticipated activities at this year’s Business Meeting and Convention will be included in the Summer Newsletter that you will be receiving next month. One thing you will notice is that we will again schedule an optional pre-convention event on Saturday, October 11th. For this year, we have arranged to take an evening dinner cruise on The San Antonio River. Although still in the final stages of planning, we anticipate a Fajita Dinner combined with about a 90 minute narrated cruise along the famous San Antonio Riverwalk. The cost should be between $45-$50 per person. Since it is a Saturday night, the availability of rooms at the Menger Hotel will be more limited than on the weekdays, so make your reservations early if you plan to join us on the cruise. Finally, we will again have our optional trolley ride around town and our traditional meet-and-greet on Sunday evening. There will be a half day trip on Monday and a full day trip on Tuesday, and of course, our big day on Wednesday with all of its ceremonies, presentations, and ending with the annual banquet.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!!!
