Transportation

The hotel is about a 10-minute drive from the home office. We will provide a car to you so you can carpool together. Please plan on meeting in the lobby at 7:30 each morning so that no one is left behind. Someone from the home office will meet you there on the first day so that we can make sure that everyone is accounted for. The Home Office will make the carpool arrangements.

Meals

Your hotel stay includes a hot breakfast for up to two people per room if you booked through the group link. This is normally a $20 charge, per head, so tips are probably expected from servers as an FYI. Let them know you are with the Made in the Shade room block if they question it being free. We will provide a catered lunch each day at the office and dinner will be at your leisure. Please feel free to get to know one another, hang out, and visit our beautiful city! Please let us know if you have any special dietary needs no later than a week before training.

Dress Code

The dress code for Basic Training is business casual, nice jeans and shorts are perfectly acceptable. First and foremost, we want you to be comfortable, so wear something that will be easy to sit in for a good part of the day. Be sure to check the weather before packing and bring clothing suitable for the weather.

Packing

There is nothing specific you need to bring to training, but you will need to take a few items home. Try to allow a little extra room in your suitcase for your training manual and a few other miscellaneous books, booklets, handouts, or giveaways. We will provide you with all the training materials you will need for the week. We could also prepare a box to ship by the end of the week if you do not have room for it.

Extra Items

The MITS New Owner Training involves attendees being in closed quarters for extended periods. In the interest of the health and safety of all attendees, please report any sickness symptoms to Home Office Support immediately. We will arrange for you to view the training live and/or participate in continued education after training. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation so the group is best protected.
