Keysfest
After a brief hiatus, we are heading back to Islamorada for a weekend of camaraderie and fun in the sun.
The event will be from Friday October 24th through Sunday the 26th at the Breezy Palms Hotel.
As in years’ past, we have secured the beach cottage to serve as the central gathering point for the group.
There will be plenty of activities for the whole family: beach volleyball, snorkeling, boating, fishing off the dock, football on the large screen outdoor TV and grilling out with the group!
No need to register, simply go online to https://www.breezypalms.com/ or call 877-412-7339 and secure your room today. Mention that you are with the Planning Congress group. There are currently plenty of rooms available, but they fill up fast, so don’t wait!
Once you have your room, email Seth Behn at SBEHN@LLW-LAW.COM, so we have a headcount and can coordinate the details when we get close.
