Opening
Reception Indoors and Out
at the JW Marriott Come celebrate the
rainbow of cultures that is Arizona as we
convert the hotel into a salute to many
of the elements that make this great state
proud. From the desert to the mountains,
to the sprawling city, we will salute the
various times and cultures that have contributed
to the rich history of Arizona.
CFA is instituting
a “sea change” in our desert location
this year for the guest program. No buses to
board! Our fun will be right in the hotel at
the conclusion of the keynote speaker’s
address.
You get to choose what
level of activity you want as CFA offers a variety
of programs with you in mind (and spirit).
Come join a basic
yoga class for some larger stretches and bends
or learn some the gentler tai-chi moves and
stances or spend an hour learning to reach your
inner self in a meditation session. Then everyone
gets together in a most special on-premises
restaurant for a marvelous Mediterranean meal
matched with perfect wine samplings and topped
with a fun demonstration by a culinary artist.
