[MainstreetTowns] 2026 Main Street Now Conference Planning Group

[Ron Frantz]

 Buffy--and Main Streeters,
This is a great list.  Thanks for sending this!
I already have heard from several people about potential mobile workshops.  There are some great ideas out there.  For anyone who is working on a mobile workshop, please feel free to contact me, rfrantz1 at cox.net , if you simply want a sounding board.  Also, I can offer to be part of the actual mobile workshop should you need help getting people loaded, unloaded, and taken care of during the trip.  I can be a background person really easily.
For the Volunteers Committee, when it is appropriate, I can provide my wife's contact information for being a volunteer during the conference.  Mary is ready and willing to do anything that is needed there on site.  
I look forward to updates and meetings.  
Ron
