Yes. Details are forthcoming.

I got a message from Yahoo about events going on in Philly outside the convention:

Unfortunally, I will be not going to Philly. I still haven't found a job yet and I'm low on funds. But I will be in Orlando in 2008 with bells and whistles on!!

Got my packet yesterday

Okay, meet and greet for GC and GP sorors in my suite at the Loews Friday night beginning at 9:00pm. KimL and I will be coordinating it. BUT you will also be put to work stuffing bags for my campaign. LOL

Seriously, though it will be a blast. Food and beverages will be provided. I will have name tags so you can write your screen names on them and if you are GC of GP (there's a lot of overlap, and the two MBs are very similar, so it will be nice for all to meet.)

Plus you will get a chance to meet my chapter sorors and my daught whom all of you have heard me brag about.

I don't get in until 5:00pm Friday and it will probably be 8:00pm by the time I get to the room (gotta register.) So call the hotel or my celly after then and I'll give you the suite number.

PARTY!!!!!!!

Hey Sorors,

Just a suggestion - You may want to call your hotel directly to make sure that they have your reservation and get their confirmation number. I am suggesting it since the original reservation was done through a third party, and problems can occur with the transfer of the reservation. Would not want any of my lovely sorors to have any problems when they arrive at their hotel.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you.
