1. Indianapolis, IN - July 9-12
2. Attending. Pretty sure this makes number 9.
3. yes - as a member of the Volunteer Service Team.
4. Favorite part is the Epsilon Pi Banquet where volunteers find out if they have been honored with an Arc or Crescent, and the ceremony afterward where we find out if anyone has been awarded a Circle. Only about 25 of those have ever been awarded, and it has been a great joy to see those when they occur.
5. Have not attended another groups yet.

I missed Tarpan Springs, Tampa and Scottsdale for sure. Which did you attended that I didn't?

1993- Chicago
2001- Atlanta
2004- Chicago
2006- Palm Springs
2008- San Antonio
2012- St. Louis

I remembered meeting you when I was in charge of processional practice for the PDs!
So neither of us made it in '99. I can't remember where that was! Was it Denver?

That was Denver. It was also during hard financial times, and represented when the fraternity changed policies regarding VST at convention.

I ended up getting pregnant that summer. Often said I should send the bill to the fraternity. Had I gone to convention, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant at that point

Of course, I wouldn't trade her now. Still - it amused me.

Oh, how I wish I'd taken the plunge and joined you all in Indy this year!!
I've gone to these AGD conventions:
1972--Phoenix
1977--Norman
1979 -- Indianapolis
1981 -- Florida (Miami? Boca??)
1989 -- Dallas
2004-- Chicago
I haven't gone to other GLO conventions, but I've been to P.E.O. International (2011), to four AAUW national conventions, and to 31 out of the past 32 American Library Association Annual Conferences. (I missed 1991.)

There's always Orlando in 2016! I'm 85% sure I'll swear up and down that I'm not going, then decide on the last possible registration day to attend, just like I did this year.

You'll be there. You. Will. Be. There. I believe you'll have more than 5 years of consecutive, faithful, etc. service then.

It does fit with my 6 year plan of "all the badges, all the things."

Besides, you have a pretty new badge now! You need opportunities to wear it to get your money's worth
