MassSTAR Update- Final Details & Meet Bobby Brown, 2013 Alumnus
Dear Delegates & Parents,
Wow! It’s been almost a year of planning every detail of the conference, and boy are we excited to see the “MassSTAR magic” unfold in 7 days! There’s a reason that so many alumni and supporters continue to be passionate about the conference, and we can’t wait for you to experience it for yourself! As you’re packing, checking the forecast, and reviewing directions, we want to provide you with final reminders and important information.
As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to be in touch rachel.klein@massstar.org If I cannot answer the question I will find the person who can.
Enthusiastically,
Rachel, on behalf of the entire MassSTAR staff
