[Nfbf-l] [NFBF-l] {Disarmed} Fw: [NFBF-Leaders] NFBF 2014 conventionannouncement

I wanted to just chime in here on Peter's correction. One can get just a plain ocean front room for less than $100 but I do not know if any are still available. We will not be getting a suite but instead an ocean front room with two queen size beds that face the ocean with microwave, kitchen and other amenities. 

Looking forward to an outstanding 2014 convention. Rest assured that the Greater Daytona Beach Chapter will make certain you will have a fun time that you will remember for years to come. It will be outstanding and Peter and Jean Cerullo are aptly heading up the charge. 

Blessings always,

Kathy Davis

Peter's message just went to me apparently. He is sending a correction to 
the room prices.
