Conclusion Comments:

John Shingler - John thanked each presenter.
The Owners Board joined John in expressing their appreciation to all of the Honorary Board members for having taken the time to so effectively communicate their products and services currently available to the hotel business.
Particular importance was placed by a number of presenters in the area of Environmental issues and each board member agreed that a focus on Environmental Initiatives must become an ASFONA priority and be a focus at the next meeting.
