May 23, 2014Ron Butler Was Fabulous!
It was a pleasure to have Ron Butler as the surprise Presidential guest at our recent conference in Atlantic City. We were impressed by the amount of research he did beforehand, including multimedia work and writing a hilarious parody catered to our Association. Ron was very generous with his time, taking some great photos with attendees. Overall, he was the hallmark event of the conference; everyone loved it and some perhaps wished that he was actually the guy in the White House.
