I wanted to take one home to NC...but I don't think they would like the weather much

On a side note...I'm SO proud of my sister daughter...she will be representing the sorority as a Leadership Consultant this year... I'm a proud mom...what can I say

Congrats on your sister-daughter!

I'm so tired I can't even see straight, but will post more later!

Photos are up with the same company as last time:

Although I'm not as tired as previous Conventions, lol.

Great to see old friends and make new ones.

THRILLED to talk with one of my idols...Laverne TF. She came to my chapter when I was a collegiate and I have always thought the world of her.

THANK GOODNESS FOR SUZANNE!! She found my Badge when it dropped out of my pocketbook.

While waiting for the plane today, she and Michelle M and I were talking about Badges. Turns out my Badge was first given to someone from Alpha Alpha!!! How ironic that hubby grew up in Tonawanda..a suburb of Buffalo.

Linda K, an AA and a PD is from North Tonawanda.

Your roommate was none too happy with us for calling your room!

I'm more tired than I've ever been after a Convention. And the kids have had me running since I got home. I sooo wish I didn't have to work tomorrow.

I am finally home! This was my favorite Convention EVER! I saw everyone and think I had a picture taken with evey other collegian there. It was so awesome!!!!!!!

Everyone did a great job! Lee, Dee (nise), Nancy, ect. Met so many I wanted to put a face with and reconnected with others!

Does anyone know the name of the photo web site???

Love to all my Alpha Gam dancers!!!

I concur! Great convention, and I'm tired, but also still on Central Time... just a little bummed AGD4Rie and I didn't get the $400 Delta voucher for giving up our seats on the flight home. And yay for the Ticket Agent who let my overweight bag slide...

Good to see so many folks! I love how recharged I am after convention!

That's great news! I have an aunt and uncle who live in Clearwater Beach, which is near Tampa! With any luck, I'll get to do 2 vacations in 1.

She means 2010, although we would all REALLY enjoy seeing each other in Tampa this time next year!

agd4rie · #11 06-24-2008, 08:07 PM

Dr. D and I already had the voucher spent! I am disappointed!

Tampa should be great. I should be rested up by then!

And again, I won't be able to go.

Okay, okay, I changed it, lol.

I already talked to my dad and my kids and our plan is that I'll fly the kids down with me, they'll stay with Grandpa while I'm at Convention and then I'll join them for a couple days too! Maybe I can get my daughter to one of the banquets that allows guests and she can get her first taste of an Alpha Gam Convention at age 16! However, she did say something yesterday along the lines of "This whole thing sounds kind of like a cult." LOL I told her it is definitely not a cult.. more like a HUGE Girl Scout troop!

LOL! That is too funny!!!

I can't wait for Convention in 2010!! I'm hoping that Theta Omicron will get to have a shining moment...we've got lots of work to do in the biennium!
