If you have any problems making a reservation, please let me know immediately so I can alert the hotel.

In order to make a reservation at this VERY discounted rate, call 800-233-1234 or 402-592-6464 and ask for the “Mystery Writers” rate.  Just one catch – you must make your reservation by April 5, 2017.

The evening is “black tie preferred”.  Most women wear “little black dresses” and men generally wear either a tuxedo or a dark suit. This is a sit-down dinner. We can arrange for “special meals” but we do need to know in advance.
