[NFBV-Announce] Did you miss the room block deadline: Washington Seminar Hotel Block extended to 12/31 and a call for Washington Seminar Participants

Wed Dec 28 22:51:29 UTC 2022

Happy New Year Virginia Federationists,

The 2023 Washington  Seminar will be a very exciting in-person event.
However, we need you to take action now.

A.	Are you attending? We need you in DC.  We are reaching out to
members of Congress for the appointments we are scheduling for Tuesday
January 31 and Wednesday February 1. They are asking who of my constituents
will be attending? Please email Deepa Goraya to tell us you will be joining
us.

B.	If you need a hotel room and have not made your reservation yet, you
are in luck. We are thrilled to report that interest in getting back to an
in-person Washington Seminar has been so great that our hotel block had to
be expanded twice, and has been extended to Saturday, December 31. So if you
have not made your reservation yet, please do so quickly as several of the
individual nights are almost full. 

All the details about Washington Seminar, the hotel details, and everything
else Washington seminar is provided below.

C.	If you still have questions, reach out to Deepa or myself.
