UPCOMING
2012 UFAA NATIONAL
CONVENTION
We are excited to
make a return visit to
the beautiful Golden
Nugget Hotel & Casino
for our annual event on
June 5-7, 2012, which is
UFAA’s 45th
Annual National
Convention. Located
under the canopy of
lights, this four
diamond hotel has
recently completed a
$350 million dollar
renovation, which
includes the addition of
the “Rush” Tower.
For those of you
who haven’t recently
experience one of our
past Conventions in Las
Vegas, the Golden Nugget
Hotel & Casino now
offers more than 2,400
deluxe rooms and suites,
a 55,000 sq. ft. casino
featuring all the latest
slots/video poker
machines and table
games. You also will
enjoy “The Tank,” a
year-round outdoor
swimming pool complex
complete with a
200,000-gallon live
shark aquarium along
with the three story
slide thru the shark
tank. If you want more
entertainment, just step
outside to Freemont
Street and enjoy the
Freemont Street
Experience under the
canopy-covered
pedestrian mall
featuring free nightly
light shows, live
entertainment and
shopping or jump on one
of the new double-decker
buses for a short trip
to the Premium Outlet
Mall or the Vegas Strip.
Each year I try to
find the most
informative,
knowledgeable and
entertaining speakers
and this year won’t be
any different. Our
keynote speaker this
year will be Vinny
Verelli. We invite you
to this year’s UFAA
National Convention to
meet Vinny Verelli, the
Goomba Guru of
Negativity Management.
Vinny was born in
Brooklyn when the
Dodgers were still in
town and received his
education on the streets
of New York. Author of
Motivate This, Vinny has been called
the Tony Soprano of
motivational speakers.
Vinny takes on the
sacred cows and tells it
like it is, “You don’t
touch my cheese, let
alone move it.” Capeesh!
Take back your cheese,
take back your life.
Visit

to learn more about
Vinny and the upcoming
2012 UFAA National
Convention.
At this year’s
Convention on banquet
night, international
variety artist Robert
Strong will be
performing his amazing
magic, breathtaking
juggling, and outrageous
comedy for our
entertainment. Prepare
to be wowed as he reads
your mind, escapes from
a strait jacket, and
juggles flaming torches.
And that’s the easy
stuff. Twice voted “San
Francisco’s Best
Comedian,” he has
appeared on every major
television network, in
all 50 states, in over
30 countries and for two
Presidents of the United
States. You ask
yourself, “When was the
last time someone danced
with danger just for
your entertainment. You
know, a guy who stands
on stage and juggles
knives, floats
spectators, and sticks
fire straight down his
throat. It’s been
awhile, hasn’t it?”
Don’t wait to
register for the 45th
Annual UFAA National
Convention. A
registration form is
located in this issue of
The Voice
and on the UFAA website at
www.ufaa.com. Don’t miss
out, come join the fun,
entertainment, meet new
friends and learn useful
information about what’s
going on within the
insurance industry,
Farmers and most
importantly within your
own agency. You won’t
regret attending!
Mike Ward, Vice
President
United Farmers
Agents Association
