network. While there we
also attended the Asset &
Property Management Symposium sponsored by Greater New York Chapter 26 at
the New York Academy of
Sciences. Very interesting
presentations of new technologies as well as time test-

Don’t miss out on upcoming meetings. Coming June 16th, is an
awesome event with the tour of the Black Button Distillery. The
tour and event runs from 4:00pm– 7:00pm. We have toured
Breweries and Wineries, now come checkout Whiskey Distillery with us. Shots! Don’t forget in July is our 14th Annual Golf
Tournament. Monday, July 17th at Shadow Lake Golf and Racquet Club. Even if you are not a golfer, you should attend the
tournament for fun of the scramble, a little swing practice, a
chance to win great prizes, and/or a business day spent outdoors! Not to mention Chapter 58 will be making a donation to
the Ronald McDonald House Charities with your help. Contact
the Chapter to sign up. We are also looking for sponsorships.
