"On behalf of the entire team at the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel I want
to thank you both for your dedication to making the 2nd Annual Sheraton
Shootout and Clinic a tremendous success. There is no doubt that this exciting
event - providing positive community financial impact - could not have
happened without your efforts and expertise...We host and sponsor a number of
conferences and events..and the opportunity to work with Motto LaGuardia
Consultants stands out as one of the most successful and enjoyable projects of
the entire year. Utilizing your expertise helped us develop business from
distant geographical markets and bring business from around the Northeast
and Canada into Syracuse and into the Sheraton...the program which you were
instrumental in developing - left attendees completely impressed and
committed to returning for future programs...I am excited not only to embark
upon the planning process for the next Sheraton Shootout but also to uncover
additional collaborative opportunities."
