[NFBF-L] State Convention Registration and Room Reservation Information

[PLipovsky]

Greetings all.

 

Although I did get clarification myself, I wanted to comment about the below
email.

 

AS I read through this email, I came away with the understanding that the
convention ends on Sunday, which it does, so I planned to check out on that
day.  

As it turns out, we have the banquet on Sunday evening even though
technically it is the last day of convention, so if folks want to attend the
Banquet, checking out should be on Monday.

 

I think in the future, a few words should be added for more clarification so
folks have a better understanding of when to check out.  We don't want folks
leaving prematurely without attending what I'm sure is going to be a
wonderful banquet.

 

Thanks.

 

Looking forward to meeting up with all of you soon for some good
comaraterie.  

 

Patricia Lipovsky
