ARDA's Breakfast of Champions -- a not-to-be-missed event!

The Thursday Breakfast of Champions is an important session. Perhaps it's not vital from a networking point of view, but for those of us in the business who wish to make our companies the very best they can be -- this session is vital.

Here is ARDA's write-up on “Life Lessons” -- the Thursday morning Breakfast of Champions event:

"Join timeshare industry professionals at the Breakfast of Champions and stay to hear keynote speaker, Lieutenant Colonel Greg Gadson, share his inspiring story of courage in the face of adversity and the importance of teamwork in overcoming life’s obstacles. Lt. Col. Gadson is uniquely qualified to share these life lessons, as he credits them to his very survival.

"Immediately following the Breakfast of Champions, WIN is sponsoring a panel of professionals, who will share their stories of how they have moved beyond diversity and become actively engaged in inclusion efforts in both their professional and personal lives.


"ARDA is offering both the Breakfast of Champions and the “Moving Beyond Diversity” discussion as an exclusive specially priced package for WIN members only. Without paying the overall ARDA Convention registration fee, WIN members may purchase this package for just $55.

"To register, complete this form and return with payment to Adrienne Riley via fax at (202) 289-8544."

I'm up in time to catch this sunrise as seen from the cockpit of Last Resort as we are moored in Port Sidney Marina. It's great to be getting out on the water, again!

Sidney's landmark wall mural at the corner of Beacon and Resthaven Drive depicts 10 native Salish paddlers escaping a storm. This street art is called 'Nil/Tu,o' which means in the Salish language 'In the beginning'.

Living in transit means it's hard to exchange Christmas cards. So, please accept my best wishes for the Holiday Season.
