> As of today we only have 16 rooms reserved out of the expected 57 and 
> promised 50.
> So, I  now am standing in quick sand when speaking with the hotel. They

> If we do not have 2/3 of the 50 room block reserved by the middle  of this 
> month we may have to pay as much as $200.00  to rent the  small room for 
> the technology session but, if we have reached that goal it will likely be 
> free.
> And, she is not even ready to talk about the cash bar but said the normal 
> fees if we were only renting the room for meeting start at $500.00 plus a 
> minimum consumption guarantee. I don't know about everyone else but I 
> don't use our hard to come by funds to pay large meeting room rentals and 
> God knows what else. Let us save the state affiliate and ourselves some 
> money. So, please make those reservations right away.
> This sounds like a broken record to many of you but I am not sorry about 
> it at all. After all it cost absolutely nothing to make a reservation and 
> if something comes up you can cancel without paying a single  haypenny. 
> Call 1-417-883-6550 and specify that you are with the National Federation

> Again the convention is March 26-28 in Springfield at the Clarion at 3333
