when I saw there is a lazy river I thought about you!


Always good to see you! I was doing the math and this convention was my 13th! I do wonder if I will ever be one of the women who has been to the most... nowhere close to that, for sure!

Gamma Phi Beta's tradition is to have a parade at our Confirmed Conventioneers' Dinner. Attendees receive a Convention hat on check-in and we are to decorate and affix a carnation on our hat for every Convention we've attended. Only people who have attended 5 or more Conventions get to be in the parade. The parade starts with the sister(s) with the most carnations and then ends with the sisters who have 5 carnations.


We had two sisters with 26 carnations (Conventions attended) this year.

There's a chance I'll be wintering in Arizona by then! We'll see what life brings between now and 2026! I'm all about the lazy river for sure. I will probably skip all the business sessions and just go to ritual services, banquets and the lazy river! Because I can

I'm quite certain you will be one of them! You may not beat MR with her 32, but you can get to 26.

Edit: I did the math again. This was only my 10th attending. I paid for 11 but couldn't go to Louisville at the last minute. I have all the swag from it though?
