In February, we will be holding a brunch in Naples, Florida, on Wednesday, February 5, at the Quail West Country Club. See below for more details, and we hope that if you live or winter in Naples, that you will join us for this informative event. Please reach out with any questions that you may have; we love to hear from our alumni!
