Area Training Schools?

[DWAlphaGam]

Sheesh, no one is going to be in Philly. Oh well, guess I have to wait until Convention next year to meet you guys!

Zeta Theta is going to have a strong showing at TLC. I think the chapter president, VPS, VPR, and VPF, as well as the CA, myself, and another advisor (my sister-daughter! ) will be in attendance. I was so excited to get my confirmation packet a couple of weeks ago. It should be a very informative and interesting weekend!

The only thing I know of that is being sold is a TLC shirt that was advertised in the TLC packet.

See ya'll!


Erin, anyone heard from Wendy?

Loyally,
Lynn

I'll be in KC and Alpharetta. Hope to meet a bunch of new sisters.
I'm looking forward to both.

I won't be to Philly for TLC... but I do get back there from time to time... after all, that's where I'm originally from...

In fact, I was there just before Christmas.. but only for a short time to attend my grandmother's funeral. I'm hoping to make it back there again late April/early May. Planning to tie it in with my vacation to the Kentucky Derby this year!!! Woo hoo! I'll have to let you know, so we can meet for lunch or something.

Congrats on your group heading to your area TLC! With the amount of money us Hawaii girls are spending to send only 3 members... any mainland chapter could easily have sent 6 (or more.) Ah well... that's the way it goes... at least we're going

I am going to be at TLC in Philly too! Coming from Michigan, they really need to have one closer, luckily we are able to fly, but otherwise it would have been a long long drive. We have myself (VPR), our VPF, our President, VPscholarship, Chapter advisor, and Scholarship advisor going... It should be a good time! I really hope they are selling stuff there, that would be, well... convenient

TLC Kansas City starts tomorrow! I can't wait! Maybe I should start packing! =)

Who's all goin' to Kansas City this weekend!? I'm so excited to meet everyone!

Yay, GC represent in Philly!

I just found out that my chapter's VPS will not be in attendance after all, but we're third in scholarship so I don't think it's much of a problem. I'm looking forward to all of the advisor programs, though. I think they will be very helpful.

Let us know how Kansas City goes this weekend!

YAY for Wendi posting! Haven't seen you here in a long time--welcome back, sis!

Did you get to meet any of my Chapman girls this weekend? I think Erin, Cathy and a few others were there...I know they were really excited!

Tell us all about it!

Still waiting on word from MaiLy (hawaiiagd) to see how her KC experience went! The Hawaii girls trekked all the way to KC on Thursday and they're not expected back till tomorrow night I think.

[AGDZO Susan]

I saw Mai Ly and the collegians at KC - I don't think they ever got on Central Time!!! Mai Ly said they are flying home Monday morning (Central Time) and should be home Monday afternoon (Hawaii time).

[winnieb]

I did not get to meet the Chapman girls--but saw them. Also did not get to meet any of the Delta Sigma girls-- but the lais (how do you spell that?) were beautiful!!!

Friday night everyone did opening ritual--and then I had to head to the finance meetings. Saturday-I spent all day in finance meetings-- with the exception of lunch and dinner. My Saturday meetings were over at 9:30'ish pm. And Sunday meetings started at 845am. I really feel like I was in finance meetings the entire time!!! But looking at the schedule--everyone was having roundtables, tshirt exchanges, songfest--sounded like lots of fun!!!

In between meetings, I was meeting other sisters. Everyone I met was wonderful--I am really looking forward to convention!!!! We even started making convention travel plans--I am excited!!!

Also--interesting tid bit--although unrelated to TLC--- the was a fundraising event for the Steve Palmero Foundation in the Marriott with us Saturday night. Black tie event-- tons of "beautiful people"-- but it was Late Night with Bob Costas. Tons of sports celebrities there. I was coming down with a cold on Saturday--so by 1145pm I was falling asleep in the lobby bar--and headed to my room. About 15 minutes after I went upstairs the group of woman I was sitting with noticed Bob Costas and Michael ??? (from The Practice) at the table next to ours. So they all got to meet those guys and got autographs on their nametags.

Anyway--EVERYONE I met was super sweet. I did have lots of fun--meeting and getting to know so many other Alpha Gams from all over the place.

It sounds like TLC was a hit from all those I have heard from!

Thank you bunches to all the VST members that make the weekend happen. I know a few of you are on these boards...

Looking forward to seeing those who will be in Kentucky for TLC!

Aloha GreekChat Sisters! I'm finally home!!!!!

Well... actually... I'm finally home again...

Delta Sigma had a great time at TLC, tired as we were. Lots of information... lots of ideas... lots of new friends... and lots of problem sharing (It's such a relief to know that other chapters have the same little dramas we have.) It was so nice to finally put faces to all the names on our reports.... as well as to those we email on a regular basis. It was even nicer to see some old faces I hadn't seen since the Tarpon Springs Convention... 6 years ago? The bonus was finally getting to meet Susan!!!!! I'll have to post the pic I took with her once I get them developed (I can't believe I left my digital camera at home.) We boarded the plane fired up and ready to bring all we learned back to the rest of our chapter!

Since the whole flight thing didn't jive to get us back to Hawaii on Sunday, we didn't leave until Monday morning. We spent Sunday shopping, ice skating (the collegians..not me), and then relaxing in St. Joseph, Missouri at the family home of one of our dear Delta Sigma collegians. As strange as it seemed to be in her house while she was all the way in Hawaii, we had the best time. Alpha Gam parents rock! Her mom, dad, and brothers welcomed us with open arms... just like family.

We got home Monday night... and as if 10 hours of flying wasn't enough for me.... I hopped back on a plane with Rob to Arizona the next day, so that we could spend a little time together and visit his brother in Tucson. Got home last night... have realized that I managed to fly 32 hours within the last week... I'm exhausted.

Hope you all enjoy your Area TLCs as much as we did!
