[NFBMO] Convention News #5: Important hotel update-Deadline passed

[GeneCoulter at Charter.net]

The Hilton Airport Hotel in St. Louis is nearly full for the weekend of our
convention. They looked into getting us an extension of our deadline for
reservations but are unable to do so.    The deadline was yesterday. This is
exactly why I send out all of those reminders as I do not want anyone being
caught missing an important deadline. There is a possibility that I may be
able to help  a couple of folks make a reservation if you call me in the
next day or two, but no promises as the deadline was just that a deadline.  
The next deadline is April 4 for pre-registering for convention at
www.nfbmo.org/convention. 
The good news we have added another sponsor and another exhibitor. The table
numbers below do not mean a lot as they are just a way of organizing things
and seeing how many tables we will need.
