I am going and am very excited!!!

I still don't know for sure if I'm going or not -- hopefully I am!

I can't go (my husband doesn't have time off of work cause he only started this job a few months ago, so no one to watch the girls) :-( But you all have a wonderful time.

SO bummed to miss Convention again this year, but I'm hoping the next one will work out :)

Have fun, GC sisters attending - and *please* try and take a GC group picture (that's always the best part to see on here :))

So far it's me, Lady Pi, Azureblue, possibly ADqtPiMel and while she doesn't post to often WLFEO.

Convention is only two weeks away! I am SO excited, and my collegians are thrilled to be going.

What's everyone doing on the free afternoon?

Also, the Leadership Consultants have a blog about Grand Convention, and it says that the opening banquet is "nice sundresses", but in the registration packet it says semi-formal. I bought a VERY cute ADPi themed sundress, but also bought a new semi formal dress. Each dress could easily work for another day, I just can't decide which one to wear the first day!! I don't want to be under dressed, but it would be the perfect opportunity to show off my "ADPi" dress. Any advice from people who have been before?

I am so excited!!

If you haven't seen the blog that LadyPi referred to, it is here:

I will be spending the free afternoon at the pool! I can't wait :)

Hi ladies! I usually lurk around here, but I was wondering the same thing about the sundress comment on the convention blog. I have been to several conventions and I have always considered the opening banquet as cocktail or little black dress attire. Despite the "sundress" comment on the blog, I think this is still what you will see most ladies wearing.

When the blog says sundress, I think she means a dressy summer dress... like something you would wear to a party or wedding, not a day dress. I'm afraid this might be a little confusing for the collegians who may interpret sundress to mean a more casual dress.

I'm probably overthinking this, but I tend to do that when it comes to clothes!

Officially one week until Grand Convention!

Lessie- Glad to have another ADPi on the boards! I am definitely wearing a dressy dress and not a sundress. I would always rather be over dressed than under dressed! Plus I got a letter from our DTD and she said semi-formal, or LBDs.

I've been really strict with myself this summer, and I think I have enough to buy the Crown Turquoise badge!!

We need to get a GC picture!

Opening banquet is usually considered semi-formal. I'm wearing a LBD.

I second this!

We should pick a day and time to meet for pictures.

What about Friday for the picture?

I have not been able to sleep well for a few days because I am so excited! Luckily I won't have to worry about sleeping tonight, I have to leave for the airport at 4am, which means I have to be up at 2am, which means I'm just going to stay up, haha!

P.S.- I am definitely ready to stimulate the economy on this trip!:p

I'm not going after all -- but I hope everyone has a lovely time in Phoenix!

Received a message from ASUADPi last night, and got the chance to quickly talk with WLFEO on the phone (as well as ASUADPi) the night before....next convention location has been announced!!! :)
