[nfbmi-talk] last day to save money on the 2012 state conventionregistration

Sat Oct 6 19:54:10 UTC 2012

Hello Terri and List,

I am a bit confused about the pre-registration. This email states that you 
can still pre-register for the convention today. However, I just tried to 
pre-register for the convention, and it would not let me pre-register for 
the convention. If it is still possible to pre-register for the convention 
today, can you please tell me how I can go about pre-registering for the 
convention.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
