[Nfbmo] Preliminary Convention Proposal

[dacia.luck at gmail.com]

I think this beginning proposal is a good step. I like how things are staggered. My only question is, why no meals that require heating? Is that hotels requirement or something that we decided on? Just wondering. Thank you guys for all the hard work you have done and will continue to do. It is much appreciated,

That way people who are registering could also receive a copy of the weekends agenda so they would know where to go for the various meetings via the agenda Fred Olver
