An update to our many loyal followers

23 years ago in May of 1999, The Roundtable Forum began as an experiment at the Lotus Club in NYC, "some spaghetti I threw against the wall". The spaghetti stuck and became a thriving business in the U.S. and abroad.

Although I now reside in Georgia, I spent most of my life in New York City and, in many ways, still consider myself a New Yorker. It absolutely broke my heart to watch the funeral of Officer Jason Rivera at St. Patrick's Cathedral. It also breaks my heart to see the city that gave me and my business the opportunity to evolve and prosper seemingly spiral into chaos. I'm grateful to have lived in NYC for some of the best years the city probably had to offer.

So what does our history have to do with you? Well, you may have attended a New York Forum - customarily held in June and December. At this juncture, I'm not sure when we will return to NYC. So, I'm encouraging you to attend our other events this year. I apologize for not having exact dates in some instances, but planning anything these days is rather "fluid".

• Palm Beach, FL - April 13th, The Colony Hotel
• Hartwell, GA - June 22-24, Cateechee Golf Club (with golf outing)
• Dallas, TX, TBA, The Ritz Carlton
• Winston-Salem, NC, TBD September or October (with golf outing)

The Hartwell, GA Forum made its debut last year in June. It was a huge success! Hartwell is now my home and it was great to meet many of the locals during our welcome Southern BBQ dinner and throughout the various Forum segments including optional golf on a Friday.

We usually host a Forum in San Francisco in October, but this year, we'll be launching another new venue in the fall: Winston-Salem, NC. Stay tuned for more details. Similar to the Hartwell event, it will span 2 days and also feature a welcome dinner and a Friday golf outing.

Be on the lookout for a Palm Beach invite this week and have a great day!
