    Event Description:
    The Annual Meeting's keynote speaker is Jeff Kenney, an internationally known Author of the wildly successful children's books "Diary of a Wimpy Kid." He is also an American Game Designer, Cartoonist, Producer, and Actor. Additionally, he is attributed as the creator of the child-oriented website Poptropica.

    Jeff will share his experience opening a bookstore called "An Unlikely Story" housed in a historic building in his adopted hometown of Plainville, MA. There Jeff invested millions into the renovations, construction and the entrepreneurial skills necessary to create a sustainable business - one that could have a ripple effect and help revitalize the former manufacturing town.
