Travel Update
May was a very busy month. We prepared and published our Summer Newsletter while traveling to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for one of those all important family events, a high school graduation. Mike and Sandy took this opportunity to travel on to New York for a quick visit with Sandy's family before the busy summer convention schedule begins.
Dan and I are exploring Canada and the Northeast before heading back south in July. Meanwhile, Chris and his family are spending two weeks in California at Disneyland.

FSCM Collection Seminar Success
The FSCM Collection Seminar was a great success. Mike and Sandy reported everyone had a great time. Those who visited the Ivytek Booth were given an opportunity to draw a piece of a Million Dollar puzzle, if the piece fit in one of six missing pieces prizes provided by the Pearl River Resorts were awarded. One lucky person won a free night at the Golden Moon hotel.
