[NFBMO] VERY IMPORTANT! Convention packet price correction and packet attached

Tue Jan 2 07:28:55 UTC 2024

I am resending this as some folks may have missed it with the frantic pace of the
holidays and also attaching the corrected convention packet. 

There was an major error on the registration page of the  convention packet. While
the price of the Federation Saver is correct on the front page of the packet it is
very wrong on the registration page.

The price for either the fried chicken package or the steak package should be
$80.00 not what is listed there.

Sorry, about the foul-up it is entirely my fault.
