Hello, Shona. I just wanted to let you know that I have not registered yet because I am still waiting on my employer to approve my time off. I should know any day now. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't get approved but thought I better wait to book tickets and hotel until I have the authorization. Is the group rate for the hotel still available? ________________________________ From: Communication for the Heartland Regional Genetics Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Whitehead, Shona R.
