[Nfbv-announce] The Vigilant: October 2018

[Joe Orozco]

In this issue:

 

Umm, actually, hold on a second. *insert screeching breaks here.* Some of
you may not have paid attention to the past several messages regarding
registration and hotel rooms and on and on. The deadline is coming up this
week! The deadline is Friday, October 26 at 5 PM.

 

If you have not reserved a room, please do so quick-like. You can either
call: 540-786-8321, or you can click on:

Remember, I'm being mean this year and not reserving extra rooms for
stragglers.

 

To pre-register, please review all the ways to do so off our convention
landing page:
