You would not be obligated to attend, if you speak up at this time. We just need an estimate of how many may attend.</span></p><p class="ydp77b561c0MsoNormal" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.97333335876465px; font-family: Cambria, serif;">There are 2 parts to this question. We want to know how many will attend, and also, how many sleeping rooms we will need to put into a room block. So, if you think you’ll need a hotel room, let us know how many. The estimated head count we got from DSB included how many may attend, but did not specify if any would need to stay overnight. Does anyone know if anyone who works for DSB lives far enough away that they would stay overnight?</span></p><p class="ydp77b561c0MsoNormal" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.97333335876465px; font-family: Cambria, serif;">At this point, the tentative dates for convention next year are, March 30 through April 2, in Little Rock.</span></p><p class="ydp77b561c0MsoNormal" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.97333335876465px; font-family: Cambria, serif;">You may reply to this message, or if you want to let me know privately, you can email <a href="mailto:crsh@att.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">crsh@att.net</a> or call, <span dir="ltr">501-920-7454</span></span></p><p class="ydp77b561c0MsoNormal" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.97333335876465px; font-family: Cambria, serif;">Thank you so much for taking a moment to help us get the plan going!!!</span></p><p class="ydp77b561c0MsoNormal" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.97333335876465px; font-family: Cambria, serif;">Cindy Scott-Huisman</span></p><p class="ydp77b561c0MsoNormal" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.97333335876465px; font-family: Cambria, serif;">Central Arkansas Chapter, president </span></p><p class="ydp77b561c0MsoNormal" style="font-size: 16px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.97333335876465px; font-family: Cambria, serif;">National Federation of the Blind</span></p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br><div dir="ltr"><div style="direction: ltr;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Life is short and dictation is faster — please pardon any errors.</span></div><div><br></div></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NFB-Arkansas mailing list</span><br><span>NFB-Arkansas@nfbnet.org</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-arkansas_nfbnet.org</span><br><span>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFB-Arkansas:</span><br><span>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfb-arkansas_nfbnet.org/nchadwick%40nfbar.org</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
