Dear friends,
I am humbled to have been the recipient of a huge gift, a registration to Netroots Nation 2012. I am so grateful and honoured by this, and will do everything in my power to make the most of this opportunity.
I didn't think I was going to be able to go, because the panel I proposed, on Torture in American Prisons, made the finals but was not ultimately chosen, so the registration that would have been given to me as the moderator didn't happen, and the money I would have had was spent paying my expenses being with my mother 3,000 miles away from where I now live while she was dying last fall/winter. Because I am on disability, as a result of the effects of a chromosomal disorder, there is not much give in my budget. I was resigned to not going to NN this year.
But then two anonymous benefactors, through the efforts of Frugal Granny, made it possible, through the gift of a registration.
There is only one problem: I need room at the Inn. Because I use a walker, not being in the actual convention hotel is a problem.
Are you going to Netroots Nation this year ? Do you have space for one short and a little round female roommate ? I would be truly, truly grateful, and in your debt. Do you know anyone who is going ? Pretty please spread the word.
THANK YOU !
Love and Hugs,
Heather
