style='font-size:12.0pt'>See attached spreadsheet from Helms Briscoe (and email
below), plus a spreadsheet on <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oklahoma</st1:place></st1:State>
from Robert Kraus.<br>
<br>
In summary:<br>
1. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:place></st1:City>
convention hotel will be $189 per night for the sleeping rooms. Free meeting
space. $1,000 food and beverage minimum (so we'll probably do something like
pay for your lunch and coffee to reach that $1,000 minimum).<br>
<br>
2. OKC hotel will be $82 per night for sleeping rooms. Free meeting space. Free
breakfast. No Food and beverage minimum.<br>
<br>
HOWEVER, Robert Kraus noted to me from his vacation today in <st1:City w:st="on">Miami</st1:City>
that: "Also we do not have to hold the meeting at the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:place></st1:City> locations to see them. We can have
the CVB send us a van to take us to the 2 locations under consideration and
stay at the Holiday Inn & Suites Phoenix Airport North again for about
$119-129 a night. . "<br>
