Lyn is right on this. The Sheraton is probably wanting a contract and
deposit based on "business as usual". For the entire country it is not
business as usual.
More than likely they are not going to be filling those meeting rooms and
hotel rooms with other reservations a year in advance during this time of
crisis. So I suggest we hold tight, Carolyn can explain our reasoning and if
the Sheraton finds other takers for that time frame, I guess that is the risk
we take.
Hopefully in a few more months we will have a better feel for what is
happening.
I thank all of you for the prayers and thoughts for my family and I offer
mine to the rest of you that are affected by the war. The uncertainty is
difficult for all of us to live with, whether it is our children, spouses,
siblings or friends that are called to serve.
Take care and above all... STAY SAFE!
