I sure hope I can go - anyone else planning to try and attend?

tinydancer · #2 11-06-2007, 02:08 PM

Yes! I am planning to go.

SmartBlondeGPhB · #3 11-06-2007, 03:56 PM

Yes of course. It will be my 5th.

Lizz, we definitely need to meet while we are there!

SWTXBelle · #4 11-06-2007, 05:15 PM

It will be my second - I'm trying to get my mom to commit to go!

PeppyGPhiB · #5 11-06-2007, 07:34 PM

I'm planning to be there. It will be my first!

You'll be blown away, Peppy, I promise! how exciting!

SWTXBelle · #7 11-06-2007, 08:17 PM

Sounds like we may have quite a little GC group at Convention!

I really want to go because it's so close (I'll be back in Milwaukee then) and because I had such a blast at the one in Chicago, but I will be studying for that little quiz they make lawyers take to get a license next summer, so we'll have to see.

I just saw that your upcoming Convention is in Cincinnati at the Netherland Hotel. It is a beautiful, old, art-deco building, downtown across the street from Fountain Square. I see that it's operated by Hilton (used to be Omni). The Chi Omega Executive HQ was located in Carew Tower from 1972-1992, the 45 story structure which connects to the Netherland. There is lots of great shopping in Tower Place Mall (within the same complex). PLEASE take time to go to Hathaway's in the Carew Tower lobby. It's a lunch counter that is like going back in time! Most of the staff has worked there for years. Order a burger or at least a milkshake! Graeter's ice cream and Cincinnati chili (I prefer Skyline) are also musts.

Have a wonderful visit to the Queen City!

After I enjoyed Phoenix so much two years ago, I am totally going to Cinci! See you all there!

I took over as the President of the Toledo Alumnae Chapter this past November. I'm thinking it would be a great experience for me to go to Convention. And, since I live only a few hours away it would be convenient. Any thoughts or suggestions on going to Convention and if I do should I go for the whole thing?

SWTXBelle · #12 01-18-2008, 01:58 PM

GO! It is an incredible experience - you will learn a great deal, get excited for your upcoming chapter year, and meet wonderful sisters. If you can, go to the whole thing.

Cluey · #13 01-18-2008, 02:39 PM

I really, really want to go, but I am not sure that I am going to be able to attend. If plans change, though, I'll be sure to let y'all know!

If the chapter is in good standing, you should be able to go as the delegate. You would then have to go for everything.

But yes, you should go.

My chapter recently approached me about attending as our delegate. So, pending that final decision, looks like I'll see you all there!
