-====Description====
-Each year, a contract must be negotiated with a facility at which the con will take place. This has been, historically, at a hotel as so much of the event happens late and so many of our attendees reserve hotel rooms.  The Hotel liaison's responsibility is to take care of said contract and ensure that both parties are satisfied; but that both parties honor their end of the agreement. It is a thankless job, but it has benefits. There is a lot of yelling involved.
-This page will contain (or contain links to) all of the stuff needed to maintain the hotel this year.
