I'm quite well. Somewhat (like 80%) enjoying the job I have, but sharpening my skills and keeping my eyes open at the same time. :) other than that, been staying out of trouble.

I don't have a preference since I'm arriving on Thursday.

Good Luck in Philly! I won't be there but i am rooting for you!

:confused: Who are you?:confused:

One of our many supporters? LOL. :confused:

I guess so. LOL!!!

Have Fun Sorors!
 

Sorors have a wonderful time in Philly. Hopefully I'll be back in the States in
'08 ready for the next convention :).

Has anyone received their registration packet yet? I haven't received mine yet so I am getting a little worried. It seems like I received the Vegas registration in June but then again I think that convention started a tad bit earlier in July than this one.

I don't know of any who have received their packets yet .... a few i know have called down with no reply as of yesterday afternoon....i'm still waiting too....

I have not received mine yet either. I will let everyone know if I get it today.

patience sorors, patience. They are on their way. HQ does not need anymore phone calls or emails--they have enough coming in as it is. ;)

Patience is hard Soror when the baddest sorority in town is having its premiere event. :D

LOL I wouldn't call it our premier event (that's 7 years away,) but I hear ya.

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! I received my registration packet today.:D :D :D

ME TOO!!!!! opened my mail box and there it was! Right there! waiting for me to pick it up!!:D :D

I received my packet today!!!!!

!!!
 

Show off!!!! :D

Yes, I received my packet on yesterday, Saturday, July 8, 2006. Are we having a GC meet and greet?

Yes. Details are forthcoming.

I got a message from Yahoo about events going on in Philly outside the convention:

Unfortunally, I will be not going to Philly. I still haven't found a job yet and I'm low on funds. But I will be in Orlando in 2008 with bells and whistles on!! :D :D

Got my packet yesterday :)

Okay, meet and greet for GC and GP sorors in my suite at the Loews Friday night beginning at 9:00pm. KimL and I will be coordinating it. BUT you will also be put to work stuffing bags for my campaign. LOL

Seriously, though it will be a blast. Food and beverages will be provided. I will have name tags so you can write your screen names on them and if you are GC of GP (there's a lot of overlap, and the two MBs are very similar, so it will be nice for all to meet.)

Plus you will get a chance to meet my chapter sorors and my daught whom all of you have heard me brag about.

I don't get in until 5:00pm Friday and it will probably be 8:00pm by the time I get to the room (gotta register.) So call the hotel or my celly after then and I'll give you the suite number.

PARTY!!!!!!!

Hey Sorors,

Just a suggestion - You may want to call your hotel directly to make sure that they have your reservation and get their confirmation number. I am suggesting it since the original reservation was done through a third party, and problems can occur with the transfer of the reservation. Would not want any of my lovely sorors to have any problems when they arrive at their hotel.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you.

Soror Ladygreek good luck with the election. I know you are going to win it.

Thanks. But don't worry, I'm sure we will all run into each other at various times.

Sorors, I'll be in Philly!!!!!! I can't WAIT to meet you all!!! And Kim, hook a southern soror up with one of those real cheese steaks. My brother and sister want me to tell them what an authentic Philly cheese steak tastes like

Is anyone staying at the Sheraton Philadelphia City Center Hotel (formally the Wyndham Franklin Plaza)?
