Are you a Slicers who plans to attend the ILA 2016 Conference this summer? Stacey and Beth will be attending ILA and they’re planning a meet-up. If you’ll be there, I hope you’ll join them for a Slicer Breakfast on Sunday, July 10th at 8:00 a.m. Please e-mail Stacey at stacey[at]staceyshubitz[dot]com by June 15th to let her know if you will join them for breakfast. Once she has a headcount, Stacey will email the name and address of the restaurant, which will be within walking distance from the Sheraton Boston, to everyone who has responded.
