Show at
Boyne Mountain Resort, MI August 10 - 13, 2008 BE THERE!!!
 August is a great time to be at beautiful Boyne
Mountain Resort... partly because the ski industry is
gathering there and you need to be there too. It's also
fun to play some golf, bring your family for an end of
summer break, and visit near-by attractions.
- It is the best opportunity to talk shop with friends
and colleagues.
- It is the best chance to gather up new ideas that can
make your operations better and your business more
profitable.
- It is the best way to learn more about the issues that
face us all.
- It is the best time to meet with suppliers--people who
have invested in their businesses to help make yours
stronger.
- It is fun to be together.
So make your plans now to come to Boyne Mountain Resort, August 10 -13, 2008 . You won't want to miss a great time
and a terrific opportunity to learn, share ideas and
have fun with those few people who really understand
what we do.
