Please send this to anyone who you know is interested in joining us, but who
have not yet made a reservation. 

So many of you have expressed great interest in   touring the House of the
Seven Gables on Friday, March 15, At 12:45PM during the 2024 NFB of
Massachusetts State Convention. Anyone interested in attending the tour
should be at the house of the Seven Gables lobby by 12:45pm on March 15.
Each person is responsible for their own transportation to and from the
Gables An uber, Lyft or Taxi ride is only about $6. It is about a 15-minute
walk from our hotel, but the walk might be a bit difficult for those who
have impaired mobility, as the walk is over cobblestone walkways and uneven
sidewalks.  If you are not there by 12:45, they have the right to sell your
reservation to another interested guest, per their rules.

 

The tour will take about 1 hour and there will be   an opportunity to visit
the gift shop if anyone wishes to do so.

The cost for NFB members for our private tour is   $20 per person for anyone
12 and over in age. For those under 12 the cost is $15.  Please register by
11:59pm on Wednesday, February 28. Room is limited, first come first served.

Lastly, the Salem Trolley Tour has sold out. However, we may be able to book
another private trolley. If there is enough interest, I will try to do this.
But, I must here from you immediately. So far, I have heard from eight
members who would like to be put on this list. If you and I spoke about
this, during a meeting or during a casual conversation, please contact me
again. I want to make sure that everyone who wants to go will be able to do
so. In order to book a second trolley, I need to hear from about fifteen
more people. 

Please share this email with all of your networks and let's make this the
best Massachusetts Convention Ever!!
