approaching $100,000 worth of our business, they will probably be willing to
give us a very good room rate and meeting room rental fee for our LNC
Session. Heck – they might even be able to match the $80 rate that
the Executive Director mentions below.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

properties in OKC with rooms at around the $80/night level, free breakfast, and
the meeting space is free or just a couple hundred dollars or so. That would be
the least expensive LNC meeting in a long time. We could sign a deal right away
if you'd like.<br>
<br>
Helms Briscoe says they don't expect proposals the week of Christmas. So, we
can wait to see what comes up with Helms Briscoe later, and compare those to
the OKC options, or go with OKC now. <br>

been asked to<br>
research any locations. Copying Robert to verify. I proposed <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:place></st1:City><br>
recently but got zero interest from the LNC.<br>
<br>
I found a great place in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oklahoma City</st1:place></st1:City>
for $79 per night if you all are<br>
interested. Best Western Saddleback. Nice meeting space and free breakfast.<br>
Southwest Airlines doesn't charge change fees if you need to change your<br>
flight. I flew into the ice storm Saturday after Thanksgiving and the people<br>
there didn't seem to panic even with downed power lines and trees<br>
everywhere. Was nice to be able to change flight just in case though<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
