Jody,

Today I learned that the hotel rooms at the Hyatt for the Chicago
meeting are going at a much faster rate than we anticipated. Already
the reduced rate rooms ($79 instead of $155) are almost sold out for
Tuesday night and the other nights are going to be depleted far too
soon.

A word of encouragement and warning to any and all who may be thinking
of going to the convention --  please make your reservations ASAP.  The
Hyatt can be reached at 800-233-1234.  If the agent you speak with is
reluctant to grant this reduced rate (the national agents are not
always current with their information), you can call the Hyatt directly
at 847-605-1234.  And, if all else fails, you can call the convention
sales manager, Rich Reagan, at 847-517-6926.  And if that doesn't work,
please let me know and I'll see what I can do.
