CFI Michigan is having their annual summer retreat next weekend.

Jennifer, the Assistant Director of CFI MI, asked me to pass on the information to our readers as you are invited to attend as well! I personally have not been able to attend any of their events but I have many friends that say this retreat is a great time and recommend it for everyone. One of these days I will be able to get over to the left side of the state and meet Jennifer and Jeff in person but until then please go in my stead and tell me how much I missed out.

BTW: This is very short notice. Registration closes tomorrow so make sure that you register right away!
