Meet n Greet gift exchange?

[chefann]

We did a frame exchange at Wave 1 of Conference 2007, and I know that Wave 2 did an office supply exchange. They seemed to be popular. Does anyone want to do something along those lines for Cincinnati?

I put some suggestions in the poll, but feel free to add your own in your comments. Gift cards that can be used for business expenses (Target, OfficeMax, OfficeDepot, Starbucks, etc.) would be useful, as would assortments of supplies. When we did the frame exchange at Conference, it was with the plan to post a group shot that people could have printed and put in the frame.

ETA: D'oh! I can't add "other" to the poll (I forgot when I created it), so just add your other suggestions in a post.

(and once again, "corn" is an homage to Beaker)

I voted corn, but I like the gift card idea!!!

Do we have a place and time to meet ?

Not yet, Doreen. I was going to finalize something around the first of the year. But it looks like we'll be planning 2: 1 on Wednesday night for people who get into town that day, and one on Thursday, while the uppers are at their dinner. It won't be mandatory to come to both. :)

And, while that thought is in my head, even if we do decide to do a gift exchange, that won't be mandatory either. Just a fun little thing.

I vote for doing one BIG one on Thursday if we can, that way we can get everyone in. Most of us are not going to the Upper dinner, anyway. And I vote for another frame so we can put the group pic in. I missed the last two....but whatever anyone else decides is fine with me, just make sure you count me in!

Just a chance to meet other people in the same boat as me is good with me. I just sign up with this site a couple of months ago so this is still new to me. But I am totally willing to expand my box and want to meet new people. Thank you for letting me be a part of the group.

I like the picture frame... it might be fun to start a CS collection of frames.

I vote for the picture frame and Thursday night. This is my very first conference- I figured if I was going to have a first it may as be a BIG ONE!! I started in Sept. 2007 and made FD in Dec. I am excited about going to Leadership. I just got my FD pin and Green apron at my cluster meeting last night! YEAH!! I am looking forward to meeting those that I have learned so much from on this site.
