<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The rate when I called the Travelodge a couple weeks back and reserved was indeed $52. I mentioned the Siouan Caddoan Linguistics Conference specifically.</DIV>

<DIV>Aloha All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to Dave K, Bob R, and Kathy S for alerting me to the lodging concerns.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I understand that the Travelodge front desk is claiming A) there is no conference rate, B) the date for receiving the conference rate is past, or C) they are booked.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I rousted the Manager, "Mr. G", out of bed early this morning and relayed these concerns. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When he gets to the motel later today he will check into all of these issues.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I reminded him that A) the conference rate is $52, B) the suggested deadline for reserving at that rate is 5/26, and C) if they are truly booked in the 30 reserved rooms that is good news for our turnout and their business.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If the Travelodge is booked, I will secure a second lodging and let everyone know immediately.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you have not reserved a room, you might want to get on with it!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Reference the Manager, "Mr. G", when booking.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for your patience.<BR></DIV>
