Re: [AGA SC] Holiday Inn proposal
They were about $1700 for Dallas as I recall but we aced
them with roomnights.
Larry has agreed to review the hotel contract if we send
it. Not much point in sending him these proposals. They
aren't that diff from what GWAPA has already showed him and
he has commented on.
I thought we might have a contract to look at by now.
Anyway soon.
