ou surround yourself with obvious treasures everyday. From gems to heirlooms, from stones to gold, the listing can go on and on. But you may miss out on many of life’s hidden treasures, such as great ideas, smiles, laughs, successes, and challenges. These—and more— will be on full display at our Buying Show at the end of January in Phoenix. We’ll be recognizing RJO’s 50th anniversary year, and we’ve created a Buying Show that lives up to that occasion. Our seminars and educational offerings have never been more timely, the new items and services from our vendors will be inspiring, our speakers will be uplifting, and all in a setting that is as welcoming as it is warm—Phoenix. Every day during the Show, we’re sure you’ll come across numerous hidden treasures, and we’ve worked hard to make sure they’re not all by coincidence. We’ve arranged special discounts, travel vouchers, an auction, giveaways, great food and drink, coupons, prizes, contests, a Sunday gathering, and much more. Hey, we’ll even comp your hotel room for you! So come join your RJO colleagues at the RJO Spring Buying Show in Phoenix, and be part of this treasure-filled celebration!

HIDDEN: SILENT AUCTION SAMPLERS During the Phoenix Buying Show, a silent auction to support the RJO Foundation will be held. In this issue we’ve hidden some Sampler items that will be up for bid.
