Just posting a general information Regional Conference thread. When is your regional conference, and will you attend?

The joint PacNW/Southwest Regional Conference is Feb. 4-6 in San Francisco, and I'll definitely be there!

Wow, your conference is really early. Ours is Feb 18-20 in Springfield, MA. I'm going for Bentley because the CA can't make it. I go every year, I think I've missed only one since I was initiated. I'm really excited because I get along so well with the CA in Maine, and it's the only time I get to see her. We're going to be roommates!

I will be at the PNW/SW Conference too. Laura, how fun that you are rooming with the CA from Maine! She is so much fun!

I can't wait!!!

Is this is the first yr that PNW and SW have come together for a joint regional conf? Is LA getting to expensive? I wish i could make it to these events. I just wish our ivy connection was still functioning. I hope you all have a great time up there....I love the SF area.

No, it's not the first time PNW and SW have done a joint conference. We went down to LA for a joint conference three years ago. SF just worked out better this time around.

But what happened to Victorville????

It stinks that "my money is funny" about right now (waaaaah! Sniff!)

Have fun without me and take lots of pix

Any PacNW/SW conference goers want to get together for dinner on Friday? The hotel has three restaurants; I'm thinking something casual might be nice.

How about we meet at 5:30? bruinaphi and A CA in CA each know what I look like, so if you're game, just look for me in the vicinity of the restaurant!

bruinaphi · #11 02-04-2005, 02:44 AM

I wish I could but we will probably be rolling in a little late tomorrow. We are not leaving LA until about 1:00 probably. Gotta get on that laundry and packing now.

I tried shopping for a red dress for the dinner on Saturday night, but I had an awful time. I finally found something ok that is black and red, but I want something I like more. Does everyone really wear red, or is there some pink in there too? I thought I'd be able to find a lot of red with Valentine's Day coming up, but all the spring colors are now out.

Where is everyone else buying their dresses?

bruinaphi · #13 02-07-2005, 02:00 AM

I wore black with a red wrap. A lot of people were wearing black with red accents. No one will care.

Sistermadly · #14 02-07-2005, 02:17 AM

I wore red. A lot of people mentioned Ross', Marshall's, and Nordstrom as likely places for red dresses. For any A Phis who are on the 'curvy' side, I bought my dress from Kiyonna - it was a drape neck sleeveless dress, but there's also a red, long-sleeved wrap dress that's really cute too.

ETA - Congratulations to all the chapters in the PacNW/SW regions who won awards!

lauralaylin · #15 02-07-2005, 06:11 PM

Thank you both! I think I'll probably stick with the dress that I bought. I spent so much time looking for it, I don't have the energy to look for another, especially with rush going on until we leave. I'm glad that some black will be ok.
