MONDAY, APRIL 15 — 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

Need an uplifting furlough before the conference kicks off? Gather your troops and make plans to attend a one-of-a-kind tour at Motts Military Museum, just south of Columbus.


Founded in 1987 by Warren E. Motts, its mission is to "educate the public on the importance of America's military past through documentation, collection, interpretation and preservation of tangible artifacts and personal stories of the men and women who served and are serving in the United States Armed Forces." Originally established in the Motts family's 1870 residence, the museum moved in 1999 to a more modern 5,100 square foot facility on four acres of land. Over the next several years, donations poured in from veterans and their families and the museum grew to accommodate military vehicles and aircraft. In 2001, the museum broke ground for a new wing measuring 5,200 square feet and featuring the nation's second largest collection of Holocaust memorabilia, and also a large collection of artifacts from 9/11 – both the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon. This brand new wing is not yet open to the public; HOWEVER, attendees of this special RELIABLE PLANT offsite tour will be given proprietary "sneak peek" access on April 15th only!

Tour attendees will depart via bus from the designated entrance of the Greater Columbus Convention Center on Monday, April 15 at 9:00 a.m. and return around 11:30 a.m. Cost is $40 per person inclusive.

Space is limited, so register today. Registration cut-off is Friday, March 29, 2013.

No day-of registrations accepted.
