You will be able to ask the panel questions on a range of topics from their training preferences to their life and how they do what they do best.

We are inviting members of the Sandy Hookers to join us at our Q&A session. A $20 donation will be put towards the snacks and to thank the Pros sharing their experiences with us. The tiki bar will be open and a drink special will be offered.
