2010 Annual Meeting is a Huge Hit! |
|
If you missed the 2010 Annual Meeting in Lancaster, PA last month, you really missed out on a great event. Everybody is talking about what a welcome change it was to experience the upbeat attitudes of members and sponsors alike. It seems we may have turned a corner and be starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. The general atmosphere both days was one of renewed enthusiasm for what a great industry we are all a part of.
