Special Credit Helps Offset Lodging Expenses

We believe that the training you receive at Merle Norman Academy is priceless. But, we also understand the

importance of maintaining your budget. While we will not have a goody bag at Merle Norman Academy, Home Office is offsetting your lodging expenses.

There is a 3-night minimum stay for each Studio where we have

arranged a rate of $170.00 per night (double occupancy). You will receive $71.00 credit per

room after the event. This brings the cost of your hotel room to only $99.00 per night.* Rooms are

subject to availability and are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. There are a limited number of rooms and

this event is expected to sell out, so please book early!

Don’t Delay! Book before March 31!*One credit per guest room, per night for a maximum of 3 nights.

If sharing a room, the credit will be applied to the Merle Norman account of the Studio Owner who is the primary

registrant on the hotel rooming list. All Studio Owners/attendees will need to be registered with the hotel

and on a rooming list. Prices do not include applicable taxes.
