putting together a professional program. You disseminated a
tremendous amount of great information in an engaging, professional and

the course dragged in any way. Special thanks to the campground

 Why a
Two-Day Workshop?
Here is what
past attendees say:
"There was a tremendous amount to cover in 2 days.
It will take me 2 weeks to process it all." Phyllis
Parker, MI
"You need a night to consider questions and things
learned; then on the second day ideas are reinforced and questions
answered."
Jack Weidner, OH
"A prospective buyer is contemplating a relatively
large dollar investment and major life change. I believe a buyer needs
the time to digest the information then have the second day to reinforce
it and ask questions."
Marsha Lau, NJ
