Hello:

Cindy Ray will be able to best answer these questions as she is handling the convention arrangements. I don’t want to speak out of turn on this, so I’ll leave it to her. Thanks!

Hello all,

Would you please let me know where we could find the choices for the Saturday lunch and Saturday banquet dinner? I have not seen anywhere the option or if there is any choices or vegetarian option? Thank you.

Peace, Intesar

Elizabeth and all,

The information on where to submit special requests has been shared multiple times, and unfortunately, we have to submit our final information to the hotel, so really can’t wait longer. I like the idea of including this on the registration form though in future years.

Good morning,

I would strongly recommend extending the special requests for meals deadline in case someone receives these messages in a daily digest. That would only give them one day to get in their information. For some folks, this just might not be possible.

In future years, I would strongly recommend putting this question on the registration form itself.

Respectfully,

Elizabeth.

Greetings friends and Federationists,

The time for early  registration has now passed. The convention is only two weeks away. Here are some things you need to know.

1) If you still want to come to the convention as a registered  member, making you eligible for door prizes, you must register when you reach the convention. This is $5 more than what you would have paid in early registration.

2) If you want to eat any of the meals, you need to let me know. If you need to have a special meal, let me know that, too. The need for a special meal applies to everyone who is planning to attend the convention whether you have already registered or not.

Here is what you must do to be offered the meals.

a) Send a message to cindyray at gmail.com <mailto:cindyray at gmail.com> . Please do not send the message to the list. If you do, it may not make it to where you want it to go.

b) You can call me as well, My information is as follows:

Email: cindyray at gmail.com <mailto:cindyray at gmail.com> 

Phone: (515) 208-1351.

The deadline for this information is Thursday, October 3. After that, you are operating on pure luck.

Remember, President Mark Riccobono is our representative this year. We don't often get this amazing opportunity to spend the weekend with our national president.

Second, this year's convention line up is really exciting, and Saturday afternoon is different from anything we have done before. Please get in touch.

If you still want a hotel room, you might be able to get it by calling Mike Foreman at (515) 727-0401. If he doesn't answer, leave a message. He returns calls in a timely manner. You will want to reserve your room  soon as the deadline has passed.

We are so very excited about this convention, and we want to see all of  you.

Let's go build the Federation.

Cindy Lou Ray

Convention Chair
