Welcome, Willkommen, Bienvenidos to New Braunfels for the 2012 TOWA Conference. We’re honored and excited to have been chosen as your host for this event and look forward to making your meeting a huge success for TOWA. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the TOWA board members at the 2011 conference in Port Aransas. They are a great group. I invited the board, and that offer extends to all TOWA members, to come for a familiarization tour before or after the conference. The New Braunfels Convention & Visitors Bureau would be happy to make all of the arrangements to show you everything that our area has to offer. The brand new, award-winning Courtyard by Marriott River Village will be your host hotel. This 125-room property is perfectly located on the Guadalupe River and is within minutes of all area attractions, restaurants and shopping. Even Gruene Hall and the Gruene Historic District are just a short five minutes away. The Courtyard’s sales team stepped up to the plate by offering a fantastic room rate of $89. The New Braunfels CVB will be hosting your opening night reception and we plan on making it something special.After all, how often do we have the opportunity to host such a great group of outdoor writers? Thank you so much for choosing New Braunfels, the “City of a Prince.” We can’t wait for you to arrive. When New Braunfels is mentioned, most people across the state immediately think of our rivers and Schlitterbahn, so we’ve come up with a new slogan that seems to fit perfectly — INSTANT MEETING…JUST ADD WATER!!!
