<p class="MsoNormal">I am wondering if you would all please mention the announcement and transportation survey that Donald sent out in your chapter and division meetings. It is below in this message. It would be very helpful if we can get a sense of who would
like support with transportation to convention so we can plan accordingly. <o:p>
