There was so much information in last weeks newsletter I sent it again just to make sure.
MarleenLast week, I had you guess who was coming to conference in place of author Paula Peters... if you guessed Joan Steffend... you were wrong.  However, if you guessed Matt and Shari from "room by room", you were right!   Read more about Matt and Shari below.

I can't tell you how exciting conference is getting, and I'm just getting warmed up.  With the excitment of Matt and Shari, we are also thrilled to announce the TableScape challenge call for participants for Tuesday night's opening dinner.  What a way to start a conference! You won't want to wait to sign up to get your table! Read below for more details and to enter.  

We also have a new room rate at the Westin see below for details.

We have our website open to members now.  YAY!  Read below for more details.

By the way, for those of you that missed DesAnn Collins "Tools For Success" on June 3rd. She will be back to do an encore for us.  We had a recording glitch and were not able to pick it back up so DesAnn was willing to do it again.  Thank you DesAnn.  To Register Click here.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will have limited office hours as we enjoy the summer break.  In other words, it may take an extra day to get back to you.
