I am having as much fun now as I was in college I think AA's are such a terrific idea! If I didn't have my new little monster (my pug) I'd like to have come to convention, since I've never been. I am pretty sure we will have a sister there though.

I can find someone in Texas to babysit your monster....

We love puppies!!

Really? I'd love to come if I could find someone nearby to hold my pup. Although sometimes hotels let ya bring pets if ya keep them in their crate. Umms, how does it work can alumnae crash last minute? I know some alumnae sisters have been toying around with the idea of coming down to convention

Why don't you board your dog?? It would probably be less expensive than paying the airline the pet fee--I think its $50 each way depending on the airline.

The more the merrier at Convention!!! You should come!! You probably need to make your plans now though. Airfare is not cheap into San Antonio so the more time you have to plan, the better. Additionally, I think we're coming up on deadlines to the hotel for rooms and food, etc.

I'd offer to let you keep your pooch at my house but I have three dogs who would probably count him among their chew toys.

My mom will also be in the city visiting my aunt. She could watch your pup. Pugs are her favorite.

hey everyone. although i really really REALLY wanna come i don't think it's gonna be possible this year but muchas thanks for all of the offers to help out with my doggie.

just curious where the next convention is being planned (if anyone can even think that far ahead). you are all welcome to come to my favorite city in the world, but NY of course. in fact whether convention is held here or not you are all welcome to come here

I'm on Convention Team, and next Convention will definitely be somewhere in the Northeast in 2006. Final decision has not yet been made. Alison, NYC will be in 2017 probably, for the centennial, so hold tight

[winneythepooh7]

Oh yay Sounds great! How do you ladies decide on where to hold convention?

[shadokat]

A whole host of factors go into it, from how expensive a city is, how competitive bids are from cities, where our alumnae and chapters are, among other things.

[Peaches-n-Cream]

I vote for NYC, Philadelphia, Boston, or DC area. All are within roadtrip distance for me and most of the chapters.

I agree with Noreen I'd even do Chicago.
