2013 MCAA Midyear Meeting

Words: John Smith Jr.It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join my family and me at this year's Midyear Meeting. This year we will be meeting at the Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts in Walt Disney World® Resort, Florida, October 2-5, 2013. I am pleased to offer a family themed event this year. When asked to select a location, I truly wanted to find the best place and change our typical meeting to highlight family activity.

What better place for the family than Walt Disney World® Resort? Our business meetings will be typical and will be done no later than noon. Our evening functions will all be themed around the Walt Disney World® Resort park venues, we hit three of the four major Walt Disney World® Resort parks. In addition, we have some every special moments planned for the kids. We are also pleased to let you know that we can take advantage of booking anything through the MCAA office. Would you like to attend a character breakfast or dinner? Just contact Jeff with details and he will set it up with the folks at the resort. You can pay the MCAA and they will take care of the rest.

You don't want to miss this one and we would love to see everyone bring grandkids or kids if you can, we even have a special rate for kids this year. Don't have any little ones? That is fine, we have plenty planned for you as well including a special regional BRICKLAYER 500 competition being done outside our resort area in the city of Sanford. Please enjoy reviewing the program and let us know if you have any questions or additional needs.
