in that it focuses on the seasoned planners who want to advance in their understanding of contracts and negotiations. Paul Spiewak, the “Reunion Guru” is best qualified to create success in a WorkFAM© exception.

Duncan Hines, not to be mistaken for Betty Crocker, is the champion of the Bowling Green CVB and his coordination, professionalism and energy made the WorkFAM©


spectacular. He thinks “out of


the box” and even offered to transport planners from Nashville to Bowling Green in one of his limousines. Talk about “class”!


The host hotel, Holiday Inn University Plaza, rose to the occasion by providing more than we required. The hotel is rated as a Three-Diamond Hotel and is a recipient of Intercontinental Hotels Group’s Quality Excellence award. Thank you, Crystal Chism. After the WorkFAM©

a tour of the National Corvette Museum and Plant. To see the vintage Corvettes as well as those being transformed on the production line was a new and exciting experience. As a yellow Corvette came off the line, never having its engine turned on, I was invited to “birth the Corvette” and I was tempted to just drive it out the door and bring it to Florida.


If RFN members or planners have never considered hosting or attending a WorkFAM©


RFN was delighted to conduct a WorkFAM©


in Bowling Green, KY in Nashville.


If you have never been to Bowling Green, now is the time to make that visit!


The planners and RFN enjoyed an underground trip in the Lost River Cave. There are no limitations to this regarding lack of mobility in walking, which makes it a must for even older reunion groups.


The L & N Depot – Train Museum offered a tour of the museum, train cars, and even a dessert dining experience. What fun!

Cruising the Mediterranean By Paul Spiewak


It was quite by chance, but what was originally intended as 7 days in Israel, wound up to be a sensational trip to Rome, Israel, Turkey, Greece & Naples.


At Rome we had a private guide for a full day, which proved to be a blessing as the guide took great pains to minimize our steps. Charlene is still recovering from that broken hip, and my knees and hips are starting

to be a problem. We visited all the major sites and boarded our cruise ship the following day. After two days at sea, we disembarked in Haifa where we were met by our pre- arranged guide for a four-day tour of the Holy Land. Despite all the stories in the news, we visited most of the better known holy places. In retrospect, both of us admit that our perceptions and outlook have changed by the experience.


We re-boarded our ship in Ashdod, spent a couple of days at sea,


spent a day each at Esephus Turkey, Mykonos, Greece, before landing at Naples. We explored ruins from the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, and its rediscovery nearly 1700 years later. After, we toured the magnificent Amalfi Coast, including lunch in a mountaintop restaurant overlooking the bay. It was back to Rome overnight for the long voyage home.


Maybe these are not reunion destinations, but it was the greatest trip we ever took.
