For those who weren't there, you missed a hilarious musical opening. A country band did a few 'modified' tunes. The first one, I didn't recognize the original, but the chorus was "Non-profit, I Love It, Can't Get Enough Of It". Then there was "Strategic Plan" sung to the tune of "Stand by Your Man" and "Pay No Taxes" sung to "God Bless Texas". I couldn't help but think that the singers probably had no idea why we were laughing so hard.
The other important thing you missed was the new Money Back Guarantee from ASAE. I'm sure you'll be hearing more.
