[Ohio-talk] National conventions

[Barbara Pierce]

I have just been at the national board meeting. The most interesting thing
for everyone to know is that in 2011, 13, 15, and 17 we will have our
national conventions in Orlando, FL. The arrangement is different from
anything we have done before. The man with whom we have contracted has four
first-class hotels in the area. By Nov. 1 of the preceding year they must
tell us which hotel we will be using and what the dates of the convention
will be. It will be in a window of June 20 to July 20. All the hotel rooms
will have refrigerators, and they are all beautiful facilities. The rates
are very good. The first year they are the same as next summer's. I forget
after that, and that do get up into the eighties by the end, but these are
amazing. I think people will enjoy returning to Orlando because there is so
much to do there.
