Charity Team-Building Activity at the Networking Party
Tuesday, June 12 ~ 6:00 – 7:30 PM
Desert Kivas Outdoor Meeting Space
While we bask in the sun at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge we will be building bears for pediatric patients. Our recipient in 2018 will be another well-deserved institution, Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
We need you to make this year a success! The charity event has become increasingly popular thanks to the generosity of our members. When you register for the conference you have an opportunity to volunteer for a 20-minute time slot — 6:00, 6:30, 7:00 PM via your registration or by selecting your time here.
We will also have a contest with prizes for categories of different bears created.
In past years we have invited members to bring items to be donated; that won’t be possible with the bears. Many of you have also asked if monetary donations can be made and this year they can. Charitable contributions can be made directly to the Phoenix Children’s Hospital, on behalf of LTEN.
Thank you in advance for your generosity, in giving of your time as well as your financial support.

Desert Kivas Outdoor Meeting Space
Imagine this. You’ve made it through day one – engaging workshops, interesting Learning Labs, conversations with peers and training partners, new ideas being sparked and ping-ponging everywhere. You may be ready to call in the towel or have a quiet dinner someplace nearby. DON’T DO IT! 
So many have thought the same thing only to find out that they missed the fireworks, cocktails, dancing, games, laughter, etc. The LTEN staff spends months planning an evening you won’t soon forget. If there’s one thing you don’t want to skip, it is this very evening.
It gets even better. We start off the Networking Party with a feel-good charity team-building activity. 
Needless to say, the entire evening is a win-win-win!
No RSVP or sign-up necessary; simply, join us!
