I'm not going this year, but our NED (Robin Shilling) usually just does a traditional banquet. I always thought it would be fun to go to a themed one, though. Have a great time!

My Executive Director (Dot Doiron) from Maine is having a theme of dressy black and white with a touch of gold. We're to add a little gold with jewelry, scarfs, hand bags, etc. And they always have fun themed games that are a surprise to us as well when we get there. It's a good time :) and GREAT pictures!

I just got my info. for my banquet tonight. I am with Sally Schubert. We are suppose to "Dress your Dream". My director is probably wearing something hawaiian or cruise like (she is hoping to earn the cruise). I might wear pajamas because that is what I am wearing when I dream. I need to figure something out and it will need to be soon. I might have to buy something new!!

Yes, everyone is invited by their upper line to attend their particular banquet :) It's neat to see how different everyone's is. Looks like we're going to see some really dressy groups all the way to groups in their pj's!!!

How do we find out what our banquet will be like? Don't we need to pack to be ready? How high up the line are the directors etc. that are in charge of my event?

If you don't know who your upline Executive Director or higher is, I would suggest giving your recruiter or Director a call and ask them who's banquet you'll be attending and if the attire has been decided yet or not. If you don't know these people or are not comfortable calling them, give the home office a call and they should be able to tell you who your upline is and what banquet you'll be attending. Hope that helps!

Thanks Darcy. I know my director Laura and our upline Cindy Sparling. I don't know if she is the organizer of the event or if someone upline of her is.
Anyone else going Wave 1?

Julie! :D
Our exec director is Donna McDonald. We'll be attending her exec banquet. She usually doesn't "do" a theme, but it's typically a nice banquet attire dinner.
Your upline:
Laura Wells (me)> Sr. Director Cindy Sparling > Exec. Director Donna McDonald > National Director Chris Manion
Since Donna is our first in line Exec Director, we attend the wave she's on as well as her executive banquet.

Thanks Laura. Frankly all the different types of directors all begin to run together for me unless I see them written out as you have done. I think the PJ's and slipper thing sounds great for the "Dream.." theme. I'm sure it will be great!

Anyone else in Becky Ishee's banquet? Do you know what the theme is or if there even is a theme? Can't get through to my director or upline...

Jammies sounds fun:) I haven't heard about mine yet; the past 2 years we've done a beach party.

Chris Manion's is Black and White theme :) I got a super cute dress that was Black and White with some red before I even knew about it ;)
I told my cluster I'm going to dress like a domino... they aren't entirely sure i I'm serious or not... :)

Hey, Jeni! I'll see you there! I'm in Randy's group, too.
I'm still trying to figure out which apron I want to wear: my "gelato" apron from Italy, the Dots one from Leadership, or one a friend gave me that says "Dam good cook." :)

Our banquet is "live your dreams", & we're supposed to come dressed as what our dream was when we started.....SAHM, world traveler, etc...

You guys are so lucky! We never have a theme! Well, that's not entirely true. She does decorate the tables in a themey way and some of her remarks are made in cute themey terms but we never dress to the theme or do "special" things. She's much more laid back and businessy. Most of the banquet is recognizing the top people and it's basically the same every year.
I think my exec is great and love being in her downline but when I hear all the noise from the other rooms and hear about what you are all doing I am jealous of all that fun!

Our group is doing Caribbean. We are wearing grass skirts, coconut bras or something like that. Sounds like fun.
