<p class="MsoNormal">I hope everyone is planning to attend Main Street NOW! Before you book your flights and room, check out the activities on Sunday, May 5<sup>th</sup> and Wednesday, May 8<sup>th</sup>. Also, consider jetlag and your ability to absorb the
fire-hose of amazing information that will come our way! We’re flying all the way to Alabama, so don’t shortchange yourself on making the most of the conference.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On Sunday, there are mobile workshops starting at 8 am, Main Street 101 is midday, and the Welcome Reception starts at 5:30 pm. The “don’t miss” Big Bash is Wednesday night from 6:30 - 10:30 pm. Make sure to get your tickets early, as the
Big Bash always sells out, and we’re hopelessly looking for spare tickets on the bulletin board.<o:p></o:p></p>
