Joe is well known for his outstanding seminars and we
look forward to having him here in Michigan.

The cost of the seminar is Free to all NACHI members
and $100 to all non-members.

What ever direction you're coming from, catch I-96
(north or south) toward Lansing. Get off at Exit 104
This exit only goes one direction. Make left at first light
then go to next light and turn left. Days Inn will be on
your right.

This should be a very fun and interesting learning
experience.
