[nagdu] NFB Convention Guide Dog Policy

[Julie J.]

Jeff,

I see your point and to some degree you are correct.  However I think 
the NFB could ensure that a person not get the cheaper group room rate 
or be eligible to register for convention and various events occurring 
at convention.  But if a person really wanted to go to the same hotel at 
the same time as the convention was going on, I don't see how that could 
be prevented.

Julie
