MAP has secured room rates at the Comfort Inn Airport located at 90 Maine Mall Road in South Portland for $49.00 per night. The hotel is approximately 2.5 miles from the Italian Heritage Center and will be providing a shuttle available to and from the event until 1 AM. Members can book rooms directly by calling the hotel at 207-775-0409 and be sure to mention the Italian Heritage /MAP Awards Banquet to secure the negotiated rate.
Although
there is no cost to individual MAP members and their 1 guest to attend the
event, we require a headcount of those attending, as we are charged per plate.
Please do not sign up to attend unless you are committed to coming to the
banquet: If you are not sure, DON’T SIGN UP.
