We have all had a rough few years some more than others and our PHIN
fund will help our members who have been much less fortunate lately!

MOTM 2022 News!
The opening of registration for MOTM 2022 has been set for March 17, 2022.
This year’s event will be expanded to include nearly a full day of music Wednesday, November 2, open only to MOTM registrants. That
means registration begins Wednesday 11/2 at 9 am. It also means
that Wednesday is a “buyout day” for the Casa Marina - a day in which
non-registrants are not allowed to reserve a room and a day for which
we are contractually obligated to full occupancy.
In light of Hilton’s announcement that Casa Marina will be unavailable to
host MOTM 2023 and with no commitment for 2024, The PHIP Board
has initiated an MOTM site selection committee to be assigned the task
of investigating the feasibility of MOTM remaining in Key West for 2023
and beyond as well as alternative host venues and cities in the event that
it cannot. Although the Board has determined that its priority is to keep
the event in Key West if possible, the exploration of alternative sites must happen in order to ensure that there is sufficient time to plan MOTM 2023
at an attentive location in the event that a Key West event
next year is impractical.
To inform the committee about the sentiments, needs and preferences
of the membership, there will be a survey posted in the coming days
which will appear on the new MOTM website and will be linked in emails
to club leaders and past MOTM attendees as well as various social
media channels. This survey is not a “vote,” but rather a way of identifying
the elements of MOTM that are most important to members and their reasons for coming or NOT coming in the past.
To reiterate, although the committee will be exploring alternatives to
Key West, the Board has made the preliminary decision that its preference
and priority to keep MOTM based in Key West if that is practical.
The MOTM team and PHIP Board are grateful for your patience and understanding. Stay tuned for announcements of a blockbuster
30th Meeting of the Minds.
