Can you send me the conference agenda? This sounds like the biggest scam. We have to pay to attend an award we won? Are you kidding me? Wonder what the paper would say about that... Sent from my iPhone On Mar 13, 2013, at 11:13 AM, "Kristin Harrison" <kharrison@cityofirving.org> wrote:

Mayor,

I spoke with Misty in Tommys office and found out the following options for the conference.

1. 2. 3.

If you would like to just attend the awards ceremony on Monday, April 8 at 9 a.m. the cost for that day only is $150 If you would like to attend the Sunday gala and the awards ceremony on Monday, it is $300 If you would like to attend the entire conference and the gala it is 925

If you would like to do either of these options please let us know by tomorrow at noon please.

We need to change or cancel anything for you before it is paid.

Thank you, Kristin

I don't need to attend the conference and I'm betting I can find better airfare. Think I also got much better hotel rate. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 12, 2013, at 3:59 PM, "Cheryl Cordray" <ccordray@cityofirving.org> wrote: Mayor,
