The pre-conference activities begin on Thursday, October Fifth. That day will offer the choice of a golf tournament, wine tour, heritage tour, a self guided tour of Portland and its metropolitan area, or a day of tax-free shopping. A certification exam will be given in the afternoon. In the evening there will be an art gallery/pub crawl, and a scavenger hunt. Finish the evening by joining a Fellowship Reception to celebrate and honor two of our Region's newest FCSI members, continued fellowship following the reception at the conference's hospitality suite (open until midnight)! The day will be packed with fun filled activities that are sure to have something that appeals to everyone.
