[Colorado-Talk] State Convention Save the Date!

[ann acunningham.com]

Hello Lisa,
I am climbing out from under a pile of projects that got the best of me this summer. Before it is too late I would love to talk to you and/or Scott about the possibility of doing something artwise at convention this year. I was hoping to get the drift of what our parameters are, in this combo-world, before I came up with a proposal.
Thanks, Ann

Attached and following is the 67th Annual State Convention Save the Date flier.  It was posted in the Blind Coloradoan Blog, but I thought I should get this out there again as we get ever closer to the deadlines to reserve hotel rooms at the Denver Marriott South by 10/8 and get registered for state convention before the rates go up after 10/15.

When you call the hotel, be sure to ask to reserve your room for the NFB event through passkey, which is their system for room blocks.
