Lucky You! March is almost here and it won't be long before we are trading our winter coats for spring jackets. With the promise of spring around the corner, RJO Headquarters is staying busy with all the upcoming opportunities available for our members. By the time you read this, our office will be headed to our first ever cross-over show in Atlanta featuring RJO and AJS. Once we return, our staff will jump right into planning our Summer Buying Show scheduled for July 17-19th in Cincinnati, Ohio. We are excited to "Come Together" and see you all in person! It is so important for you to stay up-to-date with all RJO announcements this spring. Be sure you are checking your email and watching RJOExclusive on Facebook for upcoming announcements about RJO Foundation Scholarships, NextGen Experience Registration, Cincinnati hotel room block information and so much more. You won't want to miss the opportunity to book your room early

But we want to take a minute to thank you again for your continued patronage to this organization. This dividend announcement is possible because so many of you dug deep and held tightly to your commitment to RJO. We truly have the best members in the industry and can confidently say we would not be here without you. Thank you!
