I can't imagine getting a price there that even begins to be affordable.

Hi Everyone:
This is a thread currently going on the Blind Talk mailing list and I
thought I'd share it. I know there are a lot of messages but it is
interesting.
I as a proud West Virginian defended our great state when someone
asked if there is lots to do here.
This thread stemmed from a discussion about convention sites. It was
suggested that the convention could possibly be held at the Green
Brier Resort. I've never been to the Green Brier Resort so I have no
idea if this could at all be possible but it sure would be cool so I
thought I'd share these messages.
Enjoy!
Kerri

Hello Cheryl and everyone,
Speaking of West Virginia I wonder if we would ever hold a national
convention at the Green Briar Resort. That place is luxury unlimited, a
golfer's paradise, and has a long-kept secret that was revealed only
recently. Is anyone up to sleeping in hotel rooms once reserved for members
of Congress?

If that is not true then a relative of the man at the top wouldn't have said
it.
