The 2008 ESP Event was held March 13-16 at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch, Scottsdale, Arizona. Framed by the majestic McDowell Mountains, the resort offered amazing desert vistas and well-deserved respites for our very special and deserving guests.

Thrills. This year's ESP members participated in a variety of activities and excursions including a "City Slicker" cattle roundup, revitalizing spa treatments, a championship golf tournament, Sonoran Desert hiking, Hummer expeditions and a Harley riding experience.

Bills. Included in the business portion of the three-day event was a general session hosted by Carlisle product and sales managers who presented innovative tools and processes geared towards maximizing single-ply opportunities. And, on Saturday, Carlisle hosted a "Roofing Roundup" packed full of live demonstrations and discussions by industry experts.

Frills. Travel and entertainment plans are already underway for the 2009 ESP adventure that will take us to lush Caribbean tropics and a cliff-top oasis. Grab your calendar and pen in March 26-29, 2009 as you will want to be included in Carlisle's 12th annual ESP island adventure.

With sincere thanks from the entire Carlisle SynTec organization, we commend you for your continued dedication to roofing excellence and wish you a prosperous and healthy 2008.
