What is Purposeful Living Seminar?

Have you ever wanted to explore one place? Learn by visiting historic, locations of interest in a specific state/city? DKG's Educational Foundation offers presents a seminar for just this purpose - exploration/exciting/informative - Purposeful Living. Traditionally the seminar takes place in or around the location for the International Convention. This year member's will benefit from the seminar location at our nation's capital. I have been to the capital on a similar tour and can say without hesitation that the activties planned for the 2012 seminar will be rewarding. If you are interested or just want to gather more information read below and check out the links provided.
