[nabs-l] URGENT REMINDER: Washington Seminar Room Reservations DueWed 1/9

[Arielle Silverman]

You can also call Lisa at
303-778-1130 ext. 219
to make your reservations. I'm not sure if any more rooms will be
available after tomorrow, but you can cancel at least three days
before check-in without being charged if your plans change. Just make
sure you make the cancelation with Lisa, too, if that ends up
happening.
Best,
Arielle
