<VV> 2007 convention hotel

[J R Read_HML]

So provide the hotel with a list of member ID #s (a much less sensitive 
piece of information).  The hotel then checks (asks verbally) for ID purpose 
to be sure that the number matches the name.  This tells the hotel that the 
person making the call is a member and CORSA knows who the are.  Not a great 
many non-members attend and those that do will have the "new deal" to deal 
with.

I wonder if we have any guest speakers who may wish to stay at the hotel. 
Hope they don't get the "rude" treatment, too!

Later, JR
