CORPORATE BREAKFAST - MAY 8, 2007

Keynote Speaker, Fred LeBrun, Writer/Columnist,

The Albany Times Union

The Spring 2007 Corporate Breakfast sponsored by The Affinity Group was one of the most successful to date.  Seventy business and community leaders from 45 distinct companies and organizations in the Capital Region attended.  Keynote speaker Fred LeBrun, writer and columnist for the Albany Times Union captivated everyone present with an animated discussion of Robert Fulton that related the entrepreneur's endeavors to modern business in Tech Valley and stressed the importance of corporate participation in the area's cultural and historical organizations.  M.M. Hayes Co, Inc., Capital Financial Planning and Omni Development Company, Inc. were recognized for their important support of the current exhibition, FULL STEAM AHEAD: Robert Fulton and the Age of Steamboats, as was the Equinox Foundation for supporting the research phase in conjunction with the 2009 Hudson 400 Quadracentennial.  Following breakfast, Ruth Greene-McNally, curator of FULL STEAM AHEAD led a private tour of the new Fulton exhibition.

"When it comes to spending quality time among my peers in the Capital Region, I can't think of a better setting than the Corporate Breakfast at AIHA, which is why The Affinity Group chose to sponsor this special event. AIHA provides a refreshing setting for us as business people to get together, be reminded of the Capital Region's treasures and learn from our history as we forge the future." - Nicholas Preddice, President & CEO, The Affinity Group, LLC
