Good morning everyone:
I am trying to attend our 75th National Convention in Orlando, Florida. I already have a room at the Rosen Centre, which I reserved at about the end of last month.
Currently, I'm scheduled to arrive on July 3rd, and leave July 12th. Consequently, I need either 1 or two roommates. If they don't mess up my reservation, the room should have two double beds.
My contact information is as follows.
Dennis Russak
Phone: 916-583-0324.
Email: russakdennis at gmail.com.
As my area code illustrates, I live in Sacramento, California.
Please contact me over the weekend, as the deadline for cancellations is fast approaching, and if possible, I'd like to get part of my money back if it turns out I can't go.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated, and please also feel free to circulate this over to the National NFB. list-serv.
Yours in Federationism,
Dennis Russak
