The convention is only two weeks away. Here are some things you need to know.</div><div>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.</div><div>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.</div><div>Here is what you must do to be offered the meals.</div><div>a) Send a message to <a href="mailto:cindyray@gmail.com" target="_blank">cindyray@gmail.com</a>. Please do not send the message to the list. If you do, it may not make it to where you want it to go.</div><div>b) You can call me as well, My information is as follows:</div><div>Email: <a href="mailto:cindyray@gmail.com" target="_blank">cindyray@gmail.com</a></div><div>Phone: (515) 208-1351.</div><div>The deadline for this information is Thursday, October 3. After that, you are operating on pure luck.</div><div>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.</div><div>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.</div><div>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.</div><div>We are so very excited about this convention, and we want to see all of you.</div><div>Let's go build the Federation.</div><div>Cindy Lou Ray</div><div>Convention Chair</div><div> </div></div>
