MFI has been dreaming and debating a meeting of the organization which we could all FINALLY meet one another. We'd hope that we could get the entire Coordinator Council, Advisor's Council, Zone Coordinators, Chapter Chairpersons, and as many general members possible in ONE location for the first time. While the concept is daunting to say the least, it is possible if ONE factor holds true, that the MEMBERSHIP would like to attend. We can throw a party, but we need folks to come.

I have narrowed it down to two hotels (possibly a third in the DC Area) to decide upon. Both have attractive facilities and would serve our purposes very well.

1) Crown Plaza Hotel - Louisville, KY- Location that has been courting us to hold an annual event for some years. Recently underwent a 26 million dollar upgrade to their facilties. Old-fashioned Southern hospitality at Crowne Plaza Louisville. Located in the heart of Louisville, just minutes from the Louisville International Airport and major attractions like Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, the Louisville Zoo, and the Kentucky Exposition Center. Complimentary shuttle service. In true Southern style, providing all guests with free rides to the airport and any destinations. What's nearby:

• Churchill Downs
• Churchill Downs Museum
• Papa John's Cardinal Stadium
• Kentucky Exposition Center

2) Doubletree Hotel - Washington, DC- Situated in the heart of our nation's capitol, the Doubletree Hotel Washington, DC is a chic, luxurious oasis in downtown Washington, DC. Indulge in a unique, upscale Washington, DC hotel, where boutique accommodations combine with distinctive lifestyle-enhancing amenities to create a rejuvenating atmosphere. An alternative to the hotels in downtown Washington, DC, our hotel combines natural design elements with modern technology in an exciting urban location.

• Unique boutique hotel with innovative terraced design in Downtown Washington, DC
• Walking distance to Dupont Circle, White House, K Street, and Smithsonian Museums
• Three miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)

I have been dying to visit the Air Space Museum and see the original filming model for the original series which is housed there, the only piece of fiction in that museum. What a place to hold a meeting, and to make it over there and lay eyes on the model that started it all!
