<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Thanks for reaching out to the hotels. Do we necessarily have to block rooms? It made sense in Corvallis because the hotel was a block from the where the summit
was held. But that won’t be the case this year. I’m wondering if we could just list the hotel options and let folks book what they want? I’m also wondering if there is some sort of widget or comment board we could add so people could potentially roommate up
with others attending the summit?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I asked for quotes from three hotels near Lane Community College, and I was a bit surprised by the rates offered -- but it seems the state high school track and field championships will be happening at the very same time, in Eugene. Hotels
may be more of a challenge than usual. <o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I asked for quotes for 20-25 rooms, mix of single and double, for 5/28 and said we'd expect some guests to stay an additional night for another library conference on 5/30. I also asked about a availability of a meeting room and about parking.
Nobody answered the parking question.<o:p></o:p></p>
