2010 RFANS Annual Symposium and Trade Show

RFANS hosted its annual symposium and trade show at the Dartmouth Sportsplex on June 3rd and 4th.  The 2010 Symposium offered recreation facility personnel and municipal leaders with an opportunity to learn more about what it takes to operate a SUCCESSFUL recreation facility.  The annual Trade Show Luncheon brought together everyone in the industry, showcasing services and products available to Arena operators, and allowed for an excellent networking opportunity.
