Which dinner do we need a semi-formal dress for? I have plenty of those!! Still on the hunt for a formal dress (just want to get something long).

The chapter I advise is alllllso up for Golden Lion for the firs time this year!

)

My mind is going over and over the ten million things that I need to pack and get together in the next 2 1/2 weeks. Unfortunately, I'm spending the next 1 1/2 weeks getting my "ducks in a row" with my internship hours and closing out the school year.

I'm in agreement for the ribbon - what color should we go for? I also suggest we try and meet up the first night - perhaps we could try sitting together at dinner? Otherwise, I also suggest picture on the formal night - that was fun last time!

Semi-final is for the opening banquet; formal is for final dinner.

I agree with a violet (or purple) ribbon. Works for me.

I have gotten PM's from Jwright25 and Azureblue with their information.

If you "see"

your name could you please PM me with your name and cell phone number.

Just a reminder that any chapter who received GL last convention is also eligible along with those who received Stanard (provided they are eligible for awards)....

OMG I leave for convention in 9 days!!!!!!

I went out yesterday and bought my dresses for opening banquet and closing banquet. Kind of sucked. I mean don't get me wrong I love trying on formal dresses but I don't like spending the money. Both went on credit cards. LOL.

God it's going to be here before we know it.

Okay. I will email everyone today or tomorrow with the information I have collected, which I don't have everyone but what can we do.

Here's my thoughts. I say we try to meet at opening banquet and then again at closing banquet.

Jen-wasn't there a board where we could put messages to our sisters, if so we could put a message up.

Did we also decide to wear violet (purple) ribbons as well?

I remember the board was to the left of the registration table last time - otherwise, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm planning on bring my laptop and paying to use internet while we're there, so if anyone else will be on GC/email, we can communicate that way.

I'm pretty sure there was no objections to a violet colored ribbon, so I'm going to make sure I have mine ready to go in the next day or so

I have to sit with my province on closing night... and not sure about opening night but I definitely want to get in on the group pic whenever that happens...

Not sure if I'll have a violet ribbon or not- I'm swamped at work with alot to get done before we leave... so one way or the other you can see me during IO introductions- I'm the PD for Theta province... and some of you know me anyway from when I was on Council...

Safe travels to all!
