AOII Convention 2009!
 

Its in my hometown of Tampa, FL so I think its obvious I will be going..anyone else?

Hurray! I'll be there.

I'l be there! I've already taken vacation time!!! It's my first convention since 1995 in Arizona.

I'm going! I'm going to merge it into a visit to my parents who live about 2 hours South of Tampa.

I wish I could afford to go - but just too expensive :( I would like to make one convention someday. It would also be nice to have a convention somewhere up norther where it is cooler (other NPC groups do it so it is feasible).

This reminds me...just how much is it to attend? I wont need airfare, just a 20 minute drive :)

It depends on what you go to. Since you won't need a flight or a hotel room, it won't be that much. If you go to every dinner, it adds up a little though. I'm sure they have a discount rate for collegians for the actual convention fee.

2013 - Chicago

I LOVE Chicago!!! Can't wait!

2011 is in Tucson, correct?

I just signed up this morning! I can't wait!

Is general registration open or just for internat'l volunteers?

Yes

It's for everybody.

soo.......I decided to go to Convention this year :) With airline miles I found a ticket roundtrip for under $200 (YAY!) and will see about the fees since I am an officer and going as the delegate for our new Alumnae Chapter (we are just waiting to be installed. . .). If I have to pay the whole thing, that's okay - though I wouldn't mind getting part of it taken care of lol

The downside is that there is a WWII reenactment the weekend before and I can't do both :(

Yippee and congratulations!! You are going to have so much fun at convention. It is certainly a memorable experience. When is your AC going to be installed?
