2021 Let's Get Together
Annual Meeting
It's been a long year and a half, to say the least. This year we are opting to get together in person for our annual meeting.
Looking ahead it will be nice to discuss the state of our industry. Sales are through the roof but products and materials are scarce. What changes can we expect in the near future?
Attorney Adam Bond will be sharing his insight on a winning case that has impacted the process of community acquisitions.
HUD & SEBA will be joining us for an update on the new administration's changes that are affecting manufactured housing. Angelo Wallace & Michael Henretty's vast and extensive knowledge is a treasure, we are so lucky to have them join us.
The Venue
Chateau Restaurant (the old Ann's Place) in Norton will be perfect. The Chateau is only a couple of minutes off of route 495, the same exit as the Taunton Holiday Inn. There will be plenty of room to socially distance and still feel united in this cozy setting overlooking Winnecunnet Pond.
