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

Thu Jan 11 04:42:03 UTC 2024

Preston,

The hotel convention rate is $109.00 plus taxes. You should let the hotel know when you schedule your room that you are attending the National Federation of the Blind Convention.

If you are booking the hotel online, is there any specific promo code for the convention that needs to be put in to get the $109 rate? Or is that just saying that it starts at $109?

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.
