Leadership 2008 Meet n Greet

[chefann]

Well, I didn't want to spend my whole weekend researching locations, and Katie says that the hotel bars are non-smoking. I hope that applies to the ones that are just attached to the hotels, too. So, how about:

Champs Sports Bar and Grill, located in the Hyatt
7:00 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday
People who want to participate in a small gift exchange may bring a small item (gift card, office supplies, picture frame) valued around $5, wrapped.

My rationalization: if people want to get food, they can. Adult beverages will be available, as will less potent items. It's a bar, so they cant kick us out if we hang out for a couple hours, like they would want to do in a regular restaurant. And because it's in one of the hotels, we know people can get there using the covered walkways. And 7:00 isn't so late that we'll be zombies the next day.

Are you bringing the fruit hat again?

[chefann]

I wasn't planning on it. But if you promise to wear it for the whole evening, I will. :)

[pamperedlinda]

Don't tempt me!

I'll have to pass this time, from what I remember it was just a little un-comfey.

I think enough of us have met each other that we shouldn't be hard to recognize.

[Pam Moore]

how far is it from the Hotel I'm at the Millenium?

[SusanBP0129]

Great!!
Looking forward to meeting you all on Thursday! :D

[chefann]

how far is it from the Hotel I'm at the Millenium?
All the hotels are within a block or 2, and are connected with enclosed walkways. There's a map on CC, on the page with the Leadership info.

We'll get you warmed back up with a big adult beverage! :)

[Pam Moore]

Thanks the way things have been going I will need and extra BIG one. lol

[Kitchen2u]

How long will you folks be there? I'm sure my Director and other roomies are going to go out to dinner ...maybe around that time. But I would like to meet all of you.

[chefann]

Probably at least an hour, maybe 2. My guess is that we'll be there longer the first night than the second. That's how it worked out at Conference (Wave 1) in 2007. Of course, it was much later, too, and we were all dead on our feet.

[MORFIA]

pam
i will walk over with you---

pm me

[SusanBP0129]

how far is it from the Hotel I'm at the Millenium?

I'm at the Millenium, too!

[chefmeg]

I'm at the Millenium, too!


me, too! I am not sure if I can make it as I am meeting a childhood friend that I haven't seen in 24 years on Thrusday night and I have NO IDEA what time the shuttle will drop me off on Wednesday night......but I'm gonna try!

[Addie4TLC]

I am putting this down on my calendar now!! I'm excited about meeting you all!! I'm at the Millenium too and I will get there Tuesday morning. I think we have a Hisp. Mkt dinner on Wed. but I will try to sneak out early or during or something!! :)

[roxylady]

I am rooming with 3 of my upline directors but hopefully I will be able to make it. I am shooting for Wednesday. Since this is my first time ever meeting any of you, should I look for the fruit hat?? LOL

[chefann]

I'm not taking the fruit hat this time. I'll have on a big CS button. And despite being a Simpsonized pic, my av is actually pretty accurate. :rolleyes:

[missyciccolella]

Once I get there, I'll know what upline has in store...hope to see all of you there!

[PCGINA]

Hey Cheffers,

I would love to hook up with you on Wednesday; however, coming forn the West coast - we don't arrive until 10 p.m. Hope to catch up with you on Thursday evening....

ALL of Ohio is non-smoking in workplaces now. That includes EVERY bar... regardless of it's location!

Oh, Ann! I don't think so! Besides, she isn't smiling big enough:)

[MORFIA]

we can all walk over together----)

from the M

[Kitchen2u]

I'm at the Millenium too!

[pamperedbecky]

I really hope to try to stop by the MnG but it'll likely be the 2nd night if at all. We're driving from Chicago on Wednesday and probably won't get in until later. If I can make it to the bar, I will!! I want to see everyone again and meet some new faces too.:)

[smilesarepriceless]

well considering i just learned i'm going within the last 24 hours..it is still TOTALLY NEW TO ME THAT I COULD MEET YOU ALL!

We'll see what my upline has planned.....:> but will definitely right the info down and bring w/ me in my planner!!!

Oh, and I just cut all my hair off today.!
Heather Heuman's Video Blog (http://www.smilesarepriceless.com/video_blog.html)

maybe someone would recognize me :>

[DebbieJ]

I'm in the same boat as Becky, driving from Chicago, but probably getting there later. I'm staying at the M as well.

I'm sure I'll run into y'all.

I'm also doing one of those "red carpet" interviews on camera Friday a.m., so get to General Session early and you'll be able to see me. :):)

[DebbieJ]

Heather, your hair looks cute!
