When is the state convention and where.  What does the ArriveRides need to
do to have a presence at the convention?  You can email me off line at:

I'm hoping they will have a presence at the state convention for those who
want to learn more.  Be sure to book your hotel room soon!

Can you tell me more about this service you mentioned arrive rides? Does it
serve the entire San Francisco bay area? What's their payment system like
and do they use apps for iPhone? What are their rates like? You can feel
free to write me off the list at cdrobles693 at gmail.com if you wish not to
clutter this list. Thank you very much for your response.

Sincerely,
Chela Robles
