Convention 2008

I would really love to meet some of you at convention, but I am only going to be there from Friday afternoon through Sunday. Even if you get together sometime earlier in the week, I'd still love to catch up with everyone if possible.

I'm only going part time so I will be quite free to get together whenever.....

I created a facebook group for convention attendees. If you are on facebook, search groups for Gamma Phi Beta Convention 2008.

We have one for our region too.

Sisters,

As Convention draws nearer, I thought perhaps we should throw around some ideas of where/when to meet. How about before or after the Confirmed Conventioneers Dinner on Friday....or maybe for Saturday morning breakfast?

I know for sure we'll be seeing pbear19 on Saturday afternoon.

If nothing else, we can meet before or after the Pink Carnation Banquet.

Ideas?

.....Kelly

3 weeks to go!

I found out tonight that I should be arriving on Friday sometime around 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon. I am not signed up for the workshops that afternoon, but I believe I am working a shift at some point at our boutique table.

So I should be available for any of the times Kelly suggested, although if my boutique shift is later on Friday it might be hard to meet before dinner. I'll post back or edit when I find out for sure about that.

Edit - I'm pretty sure I'll be working our boutique table from 2:30-3:30. So if by that time you haven't yet bought a pin that looks like this:

, you can stop by then.

I think we've got them in silver now, too.

I'll be there from Tuesday night on but won't be doing much Friday or Saturday (only officially attending part time). And of course, Cele and I will be marching in the confirmed conventioneers parade for the first time.

I will probably also be at our boutique table for a few shifts..........

Oh, and Kath: Do I need to drag you to Cincinnati? You can just like hang out in my room and dress up for everything and wear your badge and sneak in.

And I totally splurged and bought a Lilly Pulitzer silk dress for awards dinner.

All in all, there will be a total of at least 6 actives and alums coming from Bama.

Seriously, I really need a new digital camera. I'm really tempted to go to Wal-mart right now to buy one.

Go to Circuit City - ask what's on open box! I got a new one this year for $75ish by doing that.

If you get your smarty chapter sister to take the bar exam for me, sure! Maybe you can bring a cardboard cutout of me around?
