[Fla-facrlboard] Hotel Recommendation for the FACRL Conference

[Alyssa Koclanes]

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for your feedback. Sure, I will see about whether the reception
could be by the pool. From the photo, it looks like the Rivers Edge Lounge
might be right by the pool so that might make it easy to have drinks and
appetizers by the pool.

Thanks,
Alyssa
