Dare I ask about Alpha Iota? *crosses fingers*

:) :) :) Go ahead and uncross! Congratulations to Alpha Iota for earning Stanard Leadership! That would put them working toward Golden Lion in 2011! I don't know a soul from the chapter, but I did think of you when their name was called. :) Full listings of all awards are available on the website. I believe that they are in the public area under the Convention tab....

*Happy, Happy Dance!*

I just got an email from an EO friend, and she confirmed that, if they keep true to form, they could be eligible for the Golden Lion in 2011. I am SOOO proud of the ladies who were once dubbed, "The Little Chapter Who Could"!!

Now, off to the website!

Can someone who went to convention please tell me what you were given as a gift at opening banquet? Since we are hosting again, we are responsible for opening banquet and the gifts and I wanted to know what you guys got in Orlando (I know from Boston since I attended that one).
Also, was the Biltmore chosen? I had "heard" that that is were it was going to be at, but obviously confirmation couldn't come until it had been officially announced at the closing banquet.

I'm PM'ing you! And yes - it is at the Biltmore. :)

That's what I thought :D. See I knew about this in 07. On the day I was leaving I was waiting for the shuttle and one of the grand council members and I were chatting about convention 05 at Wild Horse Pass and she told me that convention 11 would be back in Phoenix. I was kind of surprised that she told me. But it was a nice thing because we've kind of been planning for it. Now that it is "official" we can tell the alumnae in the area about it and what not.

I'm really excited! It will be nice to attend another convention to which I don't have to pay for airfare or a hotel stay. Plus, as sad as this might sound, I'm hoping that they will need us to be airport greeters again because I actually really enjoyed that!

If anyone wants to see my cutie pie baby- he was a model in the fashion show at convention. For those of you who were there... he was the baby boy carried by one of the lions wearing the "When I grow up, I'm going to marry an ADPi" t-shirt. You can see him off our main page in the convention photos. :) Album #4.
