Upcoming
MOTM Logistics and Communication
I
hope you don’t get tired of the MOTM email! Soon
you will start seeing more emails about the
Blood Drive, the Toy Drive, The Zonta Walk, and
all kinds of things relating to MOTM 2016. The
pace will accelerate in September as

batches with contact information to answer all
your questions!
Do
you have a MOTM Registration
Question?
Casa
Marina Reservations? Please READ!
We
have had some hotel cancellations as we passed
the 60 day deadline before the event. Some of
the wait-list have been moved over already. We
are watching this listing daily and your
potential opportunity will come in the order in
which your request was summited. Stand by as we
will have a few more rooms open if history
repeats itself. Rick Fyffe and the hotel team
are managing this item week by week.
The
Meeting of the Minds Entertainment Schedule for
2016
No
new updates as of this writing! There are some
things in the works and agreements will be made
all the way up to the week of the event to add
in a few things on the entertainment schedule.
You can watch the online schedule before and
during the event for updates. Bookmark this link
on your computers and mobile devices:

This
schedule will respond to your mobile device for
reading and best of all you can read it at
night! Note the online schedule is for events at
the Casa Marina only as PHiP does not manage
events offsite of the convention grounds with
the exception of the Duval Street Festival on
Friday.
I
am going to promote a few cds in production that
I know about as I write this update. Ramajay
Intercoastal, Thom Shepherd with Coley McCabe,
and Don Middlebrook have new cds in the works.
If you don’t have Keith Sykes' new release he
will have it at MOTM as well! Will Kimbrough is
cranking out so much new material of his own and
producing so much material he will have some
really cool cds at MOTM as well. Marshall
Chapman just told me she is bringing a table
full of cds! There may be other new cds coming
but these are the ones I am aware of as I write
this. I have heard a few of the tracks and they
are all outstanding! Not only are we going to
hear all of this great new live music YOU will
have a chance to be among the first to own these
new releases as the cds are all tracking to
release as we hit the ground in Key West! YES
there will be artists signing all of the
merchandise you pick up at MOTM including the
Coral Reefer Band.
