BGK...the Peroni IS pretty smooth.

Thursday isn't a must, but a heck of a lot of fun for the Fishing Tournement and the Ice Breaker/meet-n-greet is also a great way to get to know everyone right away.

You'll love the Conference...no need to feel out of place. It is a learning/teaching opportunity for everyone regardless of how much knowledge everyone has...it's NOT a mutual back-patting get together...lol
