Members have begged the TNLA Conference committee to bring the conference back to middle Tennessee for years and we listened! But now I need you to listen to me - We are one week away from the hotel deadline and we still have to sell 31 rooms. If you have not made your conference hotel registration, could you please do it today? Because I am going to need an antacid prescription if you don't come through!
