It is almost time to hit the road for site inspections, final planning and of course the reunion. We will be traveling as well. The first stop is Seattle for the West Coast Regional Roundtable April 30 – May 4. After that we are back to Louisville Kentucky for the second annual Educational Summit. There are some exciting guests joining us. The RFN Educational Summit is for all of us regardless of experience, level of knowledge and talent. It is a place for us to not only learn more but to make connections. When I created the Summit last year, I committed financially to do whatever was necessary for the supplier and planner members of Reunion Friendly Network. It was worth the thousands of dollars of investment. We look forward to seeing you again June 25-27 in Louisville! Need additional information? Visit www.reunionfriendly.com click on upcoming events.
