Our annual “summer break” will be in July & August. However, mark your calendars for August 8! The "Summer Social" our annual fund raiser & fun event will be held at the Hyatt Place-Delray Beach. James Hansen & Beth Cohen and their committees are busy making plans for this always fun event. More information will be forthcoming at our June meeting and watch for additional details when our invitations are sent to you! We will be inviting other industry related guests & if you have friends and colleagues who you would like to receive an invitation, please send those names & emails to James Hansen, james.hansen@noble-investment.com or Dick Stafford, rwstaff@bellsouth.net before our June meeting.

Another "hold the date". Our Summer Region IV Conference will be August 16-18 at Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo. More details at our June meeting (we will also post details to our web-site).

Don’t forget to let your Board of Directors know if you have suggestions for meeting locations, meeting enhancements and other fun & interesting ideas! We really would like your input!

See you on June 18 at the Marriott – Singer Island & don’t forget to bring a guest or a potential new member!!
