HOME DAY 2010

Inside

This toolkit is designed to help you and your company prepare for either a large or small Home Day event—whatever fits your needs. We recommend that Home Day events be held by the FAMA/FEMSA fall meeting in October so we can discuss our successes at the meeting. You can also download the complete Homeday Toolkit in pdf format.
