ltcdinner
You are invited to a special night out with my wife and daughter featuring dinner, drinks and an educational presentation focusing on long term care! If you've attended one of my dinner events in the past you know this event will be informational, delicious, educational and fun. If long term care is not for you, I know a nice hotel steak, chicken or vegetarian dinner is.
