[NFB-Idaho] Winiecki at NFB 2024

[Donald Winiecki]

Hi Dana,

I won't be keeping the room between 3-4 July and 8 July, so yes, I guess
that means there will be a room available through the hotel.

For what it's worth, while we received signals from NFB that the block of
reserved rooms was sold out, when I called to inquire I was told they still
have rooms. I didn't ask about it, but my guess is that NFB asked the hotel
to expand the block of rooms covered by the (very good) convention rate of
$149 plus fees and taxes.

Best,

DON WINIECKI
