Jeep Tour poses for a group picture

This year’s conference introduced two new social networking activities – a cooking class and an open-air Hummer Jeep Tour.  20 participants collectively prepared  a three-course meal under the guidance of Chef Gavin:  a locally sourced organic roast butternut salad; a warm seared salmon(cooked sous vide) and a dessert of lemon tart with torched meringue and cookie crumbs.

16 members enjoyed a beautiful desert jeep tour highlighted by a an eco-walk in the third-largest oasis in the world.

“I loved the Jeep Tour,” said Cherie Maples of Assured Lender Services.  “The tour guides were amazing and the oasis was beautiful.”
