Sand! Sand!  Sand!

Last year, while heading to Margaritaville for our annual Stadium Managers Association Annual Meeting And Seminar...this letter... from me to you to hold the dates and highlight the upcoming fun...trumpeted Salt! Salt! Salt! as we took from the song Jimmy Buffett made famous.

This year...Sunday, February 2nd through Thursday the 6th...finds us on the horse with no-name as we saunter (I've always liked that word) into the hills outside of Phoenix and settle into the beautiful foothills resort of Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort.

As you read this, the final touches are going into the make-up of the program. Know that we have taken the best of your suggestions, thrown in a few of our own and laid them all out on a table for the Board to rank and select.  We are also excited to offer up three great facilities for your perusal...two of them by tours of Chase Field, home of the Diamondbacks and then we'll watch Tony move his field in and out at the Cardinals' State Farm Stadium. The third facility will be Phoenix Raceway, home to NASCAR in the desert. Be ready for a very interactive evening from dinner to racing. That's all I'll say about that. The rest will be a surprise.

Knowledge, Networking and Fun are always the make-up of the SMA Annual Meeting and Seminar and this one is primed and waiting for you.

Join us in the desert...February 2nd through the 6th.  If you don't...we'll talk about you.
