Incredible Fall Kick-off

[mrssyvo]

I was unable to go to my cluster's Fall kick-off, or my Hospitality's, so I made the drive to my FORMER Hospitality Director (Marie Friedag's) Fall Kick-off last night. INCREDIBLE!!!!! 20 directors came together, from Nancy Jo Ryan on down ( Nancy Jo, Marie Friedag, Patti Mericreno, ) what a great time- Lots of info and motivation !!!!! We even had a 2nd episode of the Helen B-Generous show. I saw Deb Jennings there, but she was too busy working her butt off in the kitchen to chat.

That's funny Sue! I was just going to say that Deb attended that last night! I wish I lived closer to go to those events!

Kristi, I have been so blessed. before moving, I lived in Lombard, IL- 2 miles from Home office, and Marie was my hospitality director (she is an Executive) and I went to new consultants training that the directors did all together (Patti, Marie, etc) Such a wealth of experience in a 20 mile radius. Since I moved, My hospitality (self-assigned-LOL) is Janice Wisnieski and Sherri Carr. Janice and I are great friends, and Sherri is our Executive Director. My Director is Robin Deluca, In Indy, and I am going there in October for a director's meeting. They invited me, even though I am only a future, because I have plans to promote soon. I am sure I still would have been successful if I lived in a different part of the country, but it would have been much more difficult, and not nearly as much fun !!!!

Hi Sue!

Yes, I was working in the kitchen and didn't get a chance to sit until the cookware talk was over. Then it seemed everyone bolted at the end. Good to see you for 2 minutes! LOL!

I also met Susan (susanr____). Very cool! I had my camera but didn't get pictures because, again, I was working in the kitchen.

I hope you all enjoyed the burgers and cookies!

p.s. My last name is Jennings

LOL!! That's funny that I didn't even catch that. I guess I saw Deb and didn't even read anymore b/c I knew it was you!

[mrssyvo]

Deb, I knew your last name, my fingers must have gotten tangled up in my excitement. (sorry)

[susanr613]

Susan, I am sorry I did not meet you last night. I was the first winner of the on time drawing- Patti said I had to be more excited about winning, or I would not get it, so i went nuts- yeah, that one was me!!! Nice notes, by the way

[susanr613]
