Some co-ops have expressed an interest in bringing more participants to the Lobby Clinic than in previous years.  Please email mike@feca.com the number of attendees each co-op plans to send, so that we can make sure there is enough room to accommodate everyone.  

 

Finally, don’t forget to make room reservations before the cutoff date, January 4, 2017.  The group name is FECA Lobby Clinic and the rates are $109 per night.  The hotel address and phone number are below.
