Can I just say...that I REALLY REALLY hate - that they wait so long to put information up on the website? I want to know the costs NOW. I want to register NOW. I want to be able to make plans NOW. I gotta find out how many of my chapter sisters are going to be able to go, because I have to have roommates and split travel costs, because otherwise, I wont be able to afford to go.

Does anybody know when they will have that info available? Isnt it the first week in April?

I have been told by our Alum Assoc. Pres. (Tucson Alumnae) that she was told the information would be out on the web site first of March.

But I'm with you ... I want it NOW!! I like to plan really far in advance.

I going to try to make it this year - I made four in a row and then had to miss the last one even though it was close. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone since I've been out of the volunteer loop for a while.

WOO HOO!!!! Info's on the website - and apparently the little birdie who told me about the bachelorette girl was right. HAH!

Does anybody know how many girls they are going to allow per room? I know in AZ they only let us have 2 girls per room. I hope they will allow for 4 so that it cuts down on the cost...

So....I'm trying to save money if I can, and I'm thinking I just want to pay for Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday ($360). I would have fun at the events on friday, if I decided to pay for the full package, but part of me would like to have a lazy day where I could just do my own thing.

I'd really like to see FHQ, even though everyone I've ever heard talk about it has said it's not really that spectacular - more of a building and some artifacts, that it's neat, but nothing to be super impressed by. I'd like to do that, but I dont want to pay $150 for the day, if thats the only thing I'm super interested in for that day. What exactly is a panel discussion? and the sisterhood social? I thought 2 years ago we had friday evening free to ourselves, but this year there is a social instead? I dont want to be the only dork who doesnt participate on friday if it's not an off night anyway.....

I'm trying to be frugal. $500 is ALOT of money for a soon to be graduate who doesnt have a job lined up yet. I am SO EXCITED about the awards banquest, the rose banquet, education/professional (???) sessions and the 5K race though. woohoo! I can't wait!
