[nfbmi-talk] Minutes, October 7,

[Elizabeth]

Perhaps there was a bit of confusion about this issue. I do not remember hearing anything about the hotel providing a shuttle for our convention. However, I do remember hearing that that something could be arranged with various drivers who are connected to members of our affiliate. If this is the case, then perhaps Larry might want to put someone in charge of arranging transportation to and from the hotel. Otherwise, perhaps someone could give out contact information for cab companies in the area since it does not appear as though the hotel is far from either the Amtrak station or the airport.
