[Lnc-business] One-Question LP Convention Survey

[Richard Longstreth]

Caryn Ann,

I can confirm they pushed back their opening. If you go to their site to
make a reservation prior to the 30th of June you get the notice message.

So the hotel will be open for only 1 week before we get there. Did the
hotel communicate that to the COC prior to our meeting last night?
