Re: 2013 Indiana Women’s Veterans State Conference Dear Ms. Lisa Wilken: Hotel Fort Wayne is excited for the opportunity to provide full conference services for the rejuvenated format of the 2013 Indiana Women’s Veterans State Conference.

Guest rooms at a discounted rate from the government per diem and complimentary banquet space with a food and beverage minimum. This will allow the group to have a cost effective and efficiently run event.

Thank you for considering Hotel Fort Wayne for accommodations. We certainly look forward to the opportunity to host your group. Attached is a proposal outlying some basic information. If at any time you have questions or special requests for your group I will be happy to discuss.

Warm regards, Wendy Mink, Sales Manager Hotel Fort Wayne 305 East Washington Center Road Fort Wayne, IN 46825 (260) 484-0411 Ext. 323 wmink@hotelftwaynein.com
