Hello Esther,
I believe we are subsidizing the convention, so the fee for registration
is $50. This is for Saturday and Sunday meals. I can understand the
confusion, since it wasn’t clear at the meeting on Saturday.

Hi, Cheri,
The $50 does not include the banquet. The full three-day package is $75.
Hope this helps.

Hi Lucia,
Does the $50 Sat/Sun Convention Package cover the banquet, or is that an
additional $25?
Thanks,
Cheri
