I\u2019ve tried to reach out to you via text, but I\u2019m emailing you now because I need to know what to do about the NFB hotel reservation. I understand that there are two reservations in my name now, and I have tried to let you know that CIERR a Tourville is prepared to pay the NFB for her half of my room as my roommate. You have her contact information, I believe. If not, I can share that with you.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, you should know also that the hotel has already charged me for the first night, and I need to know if I should cancel that reservation or if you have made accommodations for another couple of members in that second reserve room. This is all a bit of a cluster, but I need some reassurance that things will be OK.</div><div><br></div><div>Please give me a call at your convenience. I\u2019m at 240-506-7197.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks so much, Ellen Hayden.</div><div><div dir="ltr">Sent from my iPhone</div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Jan 15, 2026, at 9:03\u202fAM, Ronza Othman via NFBMDTLC-Chapter <nfbmdtlc-chapter@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeffNational Federation of the Blind of Maryland - Live the Life You Want!
