Husband is being sent to Kinko's to fax the registration in as I type!

I drummed it into his head: You MUST get this in today! You MUST get it in today!

And don't forget to make sure your beautiful gown for Feast of Roses fits as well as finding a beautiful outfit for the Gala! Oooh, then there's shoes, matching purses, and jewelry! Time will fly!

My chapter had Initiation yesterday (yay for 4 new baby squirrels!

), so my white skirt definitely still fits. However, it is the most unflattering and hideous piece of clothing ever, and I am planning on trying to find a nicer dress for Convention. hmmm...maybe I will go malling this weekend to try to find something.

People really wear gowns for Feast of Roses? I may have to warn my Convention crew about that...we're not exactly gown-type girls!

I'm feeling poorer by the moment! Maybe I'd better get that fabric from the basement and start sewing!

Darling Hubby faxed in my registration this morning! Yay! I'll have to give him extra big hugs tonight.

AGDLynn · #5 03-01-2004, 07:58 PM

Yea I "borrowed" hubby's office fax since I haven't figured out how to use my pc to fax.

Saved $3 by not faxing from Office Max!

Ohhhh yeah. At the 2001 Convention I took pix of our "older" sisters in their beautiful gowns to show to those who couldn't go. Some sisters choose to be really frilly, while some still look elegant in a simple "recycled" formal dress.

I'm still getting things figured out as far as my Convention plans go, so no faxing the info today...but it's okay. Mom said she'd pay the extra $$$. Go MOM (she kinda owes me a favor).

Hubby said that he was going to stop by bank to transfer funds from checking to savings for Con

I'll mention later that amount didn't cover airfare and new clothes

Feast of Roses Banquet - I seem to remember that they wanted chapter members to sit together in Atl. On the website, it said that seating must be reserved when you get to the hotel??

Yea, I know it's 5 months away, lol.

AGDZO Susan · #10 03-02-2004, 07:16 PM

You reserve seating for Feast of Roses once you get to Convention!

sarahthegam · #11 03-08-2004, 11:49 PM

Hey ya'll!

I am super excited about going to convention! I hope that I meet you all! We are going to tear up Chicago Gam style!

WHOA mama! The charge for Convention just showed up on my credit card statement, lol. I was prepared for this, but sheesh, its still painful.

AGDLynn · #13 03-15-2004, 09:49 PM

Yea, the chapter is going to pay my way!

...because it's official.

Sandy's going to Convention.

I know I was one of the most excited to go (especially after Atlanta) at first, but to be honest I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to make it -- mainly because of financial reasons. I got jealous everytime someone mentioned that they were going to Chicago!

The other night I had a long talk with my mom and told her how important this was to me...and she knows how much I love Alpha Gam and that I've been saving tips from the bar just to get my butt there.

She finally got back to me last night, and said that if I used whatever I've saved up already, she and my stepdad would take care of the rest...and my airfare. "Consider it an early 25th birthday present, now go make me some dinner!" she said. My birthday falls less than two weeks after Convention. I cried because I was so grateful. I'm going to Convention!

I met up with Katie (former Delta Sigma president) at the mall today so she could send in our registrations together so we can room together.

I know there will be at least 8 Delta Sigma collegians (including my sis-grand) and at least 6 alumnae (I know there will be even more than that!) traveling from Hawaii to Chicago. Other Delta Sigmas living on the mainland will be there also, so my chapter will be well represented for sure. Will Chicago be able to handle the Hawai`i girls???

Some of us are also staying a few extra days after Convention since we have sisters living in the area we can crash with.

I can't wait to meet those of you who are going!

AGDLynn · #15 03-27-2004, 01:57 AM

It wouldn't be right partying without Sandy!!

It think that DS puts alot of the mainland chapters to shame if they raised enough $$ to send that many collegians!

I haven't heard how many GTau is sending, lol. They are still working on it, lol.
