Talking Convention in one month!!
I'm soooo excited about convention! This will be my first one...AND...I'm going all by myself, flying from Memphis. I'm a bit scared...I'm hoping other sisters will be at the airport so I can have a travel buddy.

I'm so excited about how many sisters I'm going to meet!!

Who on here will be going? (I know I've already asked that but just thought I'd ask again...besides...this forum has been dead lately!)

Re: Convention in one month!!
I'll be there! In fact, I just bought my dress for the Dinner of Honors last night. I'm sure you'll find a sister at the airport...just be sure to wear your badge!

Ooh, what does your dress look like??

Mine is one I bought to wear to our SAI-PMA Formal that ended up getting cancelled...it's not super fancy...it's floor-length, and it's a light pinky-peach color that fades down to dark coral. No sparkle or gems or anything...but I have some pretty jewelry and hair clippies to go with it. And a very cute little purse to go with it.

I love dressing up!

That sounds very pretty! I'm sorry your formal got canceled, but at least you get to wear the dress to convention!

My dress is dark red and very l-o-n-g. It has a plunging neckline and spaghetti straps that cross in back. It's very elegant - the sort of thing I could imagine Catherine Zeta Jones wearing. I can't wait to wear it - I'm such a girl!

I'm flying from Tallahassee to Memphis and then to Detroit! Maybe we'll be on the same flight!

What is this about a formal for the Dinner of Honors? Is this just for some, or does everyone go to this?

I have been told VERY little about the whole convention, so I really don't know whats going on. If there is something yall think i might need to know please tell me!!!
Thanks!!

Wow, that'd be great if we were on the same flight, because I've been posting on the LIstserv trying to find *someone* that's flying from Memphis. Let's cross our fingers!

Everyone can go to the Dinner of Honors. Are you a delegate? If so than your registration fee paid for it. I've been told that attire for the Dinner is "quite dressy" and that most sisters wear formals.

The Dinner of Honors is a formal, sit-down dinner. It features dinner (of course), a keynote speaker, and presentation of national awards. It's a very special night, and everyone may attend. Cost is $50. I would definitely go - you don't want to miss it!

As for the rest of Convention, the biggest piece of advice I can give is this: bring LOTS of clothing! I normally travel very light, but for convention you can never bring too many changes of clothing. In a typical day, you will change about three times - business attire for meetings, nicer dress for evening events, and casual wear for just hanging out.

Here's a quick and dirty guideline for what to wear:

*Meetings and seminars (daily)- business attire with badge
*Opening Ceremony/Birthday Party (Thurs night)- cocktail dress.
*Welcome Luncheon (Friday) - Business attire from morning meetings or 1903 period dress, from what I understand.
*Friday and Saturday night recitals (I'll have to see what is on which night) - cocktail dress
*Day trip to Ann Arbor - normally these are pretty casual, but I'm guessing this one will be a little dressier, since we're doing a rededication ceremony at UMich. I'm going to wear a nice polo dress from Banana Republic...casual yet dressy.
*Philanthropies Benefit Concert (Sunday night?) - In general, dressier than the other concerts. Some people will wear formal attire, although it's not de rigueur.
*Dinner of Honors (Monday night) - Very formal. Expect to see ball gowns, glitz, beading, etc..

Hope that's of some help!

So, with all the chit-chat we've been doing all over GC re: Convention, how about we meet up and see each other in person while we're there? My mornings are already booked, but maybe we can hang out post-meeting/pre-dinner sometime?
