[Nfb-kzoo] NFB of Michigan State Convention

[J.J. Meddaugh]

I'm definitely fine with a van, but am not as sure about Friday. What's the 
earliest you, Tim, Mike, etc. can leave?
Sunday would be especially cool because of the train schedule.

> As far as I know, the break down of the cost is as follows:
> Registration: $20 per person (I think it's $15 if you register before 
> midnight today?)
> Hotel rooms: $85 per night
> Saturday evening banquet: $40 per person (again cheaper if bought today?)
>
> Someone correct me if I am wrong on any of those figures.

> Please forward this to anyone else who might want to go from this side of 
> the state.  The bus will be first come first served.  We checked with the 
> Doubletree hotel, and they still have several rooms available.
>
> You can register for convention, and reserve your room at 
> http://www.nfbmi.org
>
> Please also get back to us with your plans, and what you would like 
> assistance with.  We can't make any promises, but we'll do what we can.
> We're looking forward to a great time next weekend!
