About the location:

The Marriott Courtyard has a lovely Bistro in the lobby, set up much like a Panera Bread Shop.  They sell starters, soups, salads, sandwiches burgers and more!  AND have a BAR with a HAPPY HOUR from 5:00PM – 7:00PM. You order at the counter then take your food to the seating selection of your choice.  We’ll all try and stay in one section, for the purpose of networking.  We are VERY LUCKY to have this place!!!.  They are giving us a conference room for free in exchange for the business we bring to the Bistro.  Although the meeting is free, you will be responsible for your own food and drinks.  Please, let’s show our appreciation and ALL plan to come and eat & drink before this very informative meeting!   Check it out here:
