Teri - Well Jay was on for the 29th and then had some out of the country buyers schedule him to show properties on that day and weekend. He won't be able to make it for May. Read the small print...he starts in June.  Jay & Shailesh are going to team teach or alternate the teaching with the lineup they come up with.  Hope all is well.

Google tells me this is 303 miles from my house ... so looks like we'll have to follow your lead and set up some gatherings in southern Nevada. If we do we'll make sure that what happens in Vegas gets blogged about on ActiveRain!
