- You will be receiving lots of invites and information about EB in the coming weeks. Keep it all in one place, so it's handy when you are packing in April. We  will go over the schedule and describe the functions at that all-important RT Orientation session on Saturday, April 17 at 2:30 pm. The session is taking place at the Grand Hyatt Hotel and there will be snacks and caffeine for those of you with early morning travel plans.

 

Spring is coming!
