Of course I am talking about the planned Activerain training session next month in Dyersburg, Tennessee. If you will remember we did a post a couple of months ago suggesting that Activerain should hire a person to be a field trainer. Not only has that occurred in the hiring of Brad Andersohn but he is coming to Dyersburg for the first of (I am sure) many training sessions on how to blog more effectively on the Activerain platform.

My personal assistant just got the travel arrangements confirmed for Brad's trip to Tennessee from California.

The training will be conducted on Wednesday May 7th from 9am-1:30pm at the "new" Holiday Inn Express in Dyersburg.

Here is a map of where Dyersburg is located and also a map showing the Holiday Inn Express! We have the conference room reserved for this training. As a reminder to the Activerainers coming, "please bring your wireless notebooks for hands on interaction while Brad is training". There is limited seating left so if you are interested please call me ASAP (731-285-2277).

I just talked to the manager(Lou Adams) at the Holiday Inn Express and she said she will give us a great rate for rooms($79) but you need to call now to book(Brad will be staying here). To reserve your room, call 731-286-1021 and tell them you are coming for the Activerain training and you want the $79 deal Lou is offering us!

Here is the schedule we have came up with:

9am start

Memphis Realtors,

I just talked to Brad Andersohn and he is wandering around Beal Street looking for some fancy restaurant. I called David Saks and he is going to try to steer Brad in the right direction. If you see Brad down on Beal street, remind him that class starts at 9am sharp tomorrow(in Dyersburg)

Jan - one of my ActiveRain spies at the front desk told me you checked in and were looking to see if I had checked in yet. I got lost on Beale Street in Memphis! haha! Just kidding, I need to get caught up here with a few projects from the "Big Boss" but I am so looking forward to seeing you in the morning. It's going to be a great day! G'night.. :-)

Mike - I am here, in my room, and preparing for tomorrow's "BIG DAY!" I will be there on time, I promise. David and I will be heading to Memphis after the class to go see if Elvis has really left the building or not. LOL!~ I am very excited about our day, and the fact that David would take the time to show me "The King's" home! Since I was a young child, I have always wanted to go see where Elvis made music and history, the Graceland Mansion. He inspired me to so much as a child...Thank you again, I'll see you bright and early at 9:00am. :-)

It is now 9:10 Wednesday morning and we are right in the middle of the training class. Brad was here early:)

I have flip video'ed a short segment of the beginning of the class and plan to shoot short segments throughout the training. Brad told me he would have to put a disclaimer on it before I post them here!

Mike, thank you for organizing and hosting this training. Thank you Brad Andersohn for enriching us with more knowledge about the Rain. The information was priceless, the lunch was delicious, even if it wasn't sushi ;)

I enjoyed meeting everyone and wish I could have stayed longer. Really enjoyed it, thanks again!

Ya'll have a safe trip back home :)

Wanted to thank you, Mike, for a great day, and this rare opportunity to get together with our friends, colleagues and Brad. Many thanks to our hostess that provided the great lunch, also. Brad and I finally made it to Elvis' house but didn't have time for the fried peanut butter and banana sandwich because of his flight schedule, but next time for sure. If I may ever be of assistance to you in Memphis please let me know. It was an honor to participate with the others in this fine event. Hopes for a great week ahead for you and your fine staff.

Mike - I made it home safe, but was saddened to have to leave so quickly. I know we tried to cover too much information in that one session, so I am committed to putting together a series of webinars to cover more details on each topic we tried to address, and those we didn't.

Thanks to you and Donna for making all the arrangements to get me there. I wish we could have spent more time together just socializing and getting to know one another. Everyone there was so nice, generous, and hospitable. I loved Tennessee, but more than that, I really loved the AR folks that showed up in Dyersburg yesterday. I hope to do it again someday soon. Until then, once I get the Webinar schedule setup, you and the others there will be the first to know.

Can you send me an email with all the attendees? I had a sign-in sheet but got so excited about meeting everyone for the first time, I forgot to have it filled out. Thanks again for everything, and for putting this all together.

To the rest of you, thanks for taking the time out of your busy days to travel, and spend the day with us. There were many levels of experience in that conference room, and so much information shared, yet so much we didn't get to cover due to the time constraints. If there is anything you need help with or want to know more about, Please call, email, or contact me anytime, I am here to help you any way I can.

I am so thankful that I was the "Chosen One" to come be a part of a very special day in Dyersburg Tennessee. You are family, so let's stay in touch, and keep the "Rain Drops" falling and multiplying.

May you all be blessed beyond your wildest imagination!! :-))

Brad~
