Convention Hotel Deadline Extended Until April 11
Brothers,
Bill Mores has worked with the hotel to extend our registration deadline until April 11. We still have rooms to fill and if we don't fill them, then the State has to either pay for the rooms or pay a penalty. Please help us be good stewards by booking a room NOW. Even if you are in the Birmingham or surrounding area, please spend at least one night in the hotel.
Click here to book your room now.
I look forward to seeing you at the convention.
Jason
