Attendees at the PCA General Assembly this year are invited to a very special, and very free, lunch sponsored by the Retirement Benefits Board of the PCA

The luncheon will be on Wednesday, June 30, 2010, 12:00 noon – 1:30 pm. It will be held in the Nashville Convention Center in Room 206. No advance reservations will be taken, so it is literally first come, first served. There are only 200 seats in the room so commissioners are advised to arrive early.

The Featured Speakers are Charles M. (Chip) Watkins, J.D., and Gary D. Campbell, CFA

Mr. Watkins will provide an overview of the new health care reform law recently approved by Congress, and will discuss the implications of this legislation for you and our PCA churches.

Mr. Campbell will briefly review the financial market environment over the past 12 months and will comment on longer term trends potentially impacting the financial market’s future
