All that will be attending the conference: I still need your arrival and departure day so OFA may reserve our rooms for the meeting. Please email me the dates or add them to the excel spreadsheet in the drop box folder. Thank you for your assistance.
Housing: 20 rooms have been set aside for the group at the Springhill Suites. Margaret McGuire of the OFA would prefer to receive a rooming list in April and make the reservations on our behalf.

Hi, everyone. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend the NC1186 meeting this year. I have another meeting at the same time I can't escape from.
Best wishes, and see you all soon.
