Message From The President - June 2010

Dear Fellow Members:
 

Summer is here, the kids are out of school; and it's time for our annual MRA Summer Social. Once again we're headed to watch our Memphis Redbirds Thursday June 10th. However, we have some friends joining us this year. The leadership of the Metropolitan Memphis Hotel & Lodging Association has decided to bring their group out to join us for what looks to be our largest summer outing yet!! I am excited to see our two groups come together to network and get to know each other. This is a first step in uniting two of the strongest hospitality groups in Tennessee, and I believe we can work together to create a stronger hospitality industry in Memphis. Another great reason to come out to the game is to show your staff how much you appreciate their hard work. This is an inexpensive way to get out of the four walls and have some fun with the folks who take care of your business. So, whether you take this opportunity to come out and meet new folks in the hospitality industry or show a little love for the folks you work with, we look forward to seeing you at the game!!

Sincerely,

Mike Miller, President MRA
