How about this- I'll set one aside with your name on it. And I'll bring it to Conference with me, since I'm also Wave 1. It'll be $1 at conference (the extra covers envelope, postage, etc. And it's just easier to do a flat dollar.)

Julie

Right now, 800 posts is the first star.
If you want gold bars, you can upgrade to "Gold Supporter" status, which is $20 a year.
 
Ann, $1.00 at Conference that will be great. Will you be at the Irish Pub then Sunday night?? I can get it from you there. SAVE ME ONE PLEASE!!

Got it. Doesn't mean I'll remember.....
 
Hey Julie, how'd ya get a $5/year membership here w/out paypal? I thought we had to PP our money to get in?
 
I sent an e-mail to the website director and asked because the non papypal option was mentioned but I only saw a paypal button. He e-mailed back explaining it lets you do a 1 time with being a paypal member. It was just like in other credit card payment. EASY.
Julie
 
I meant "without being a paypal member"--

Cool!
The pins are a fun part of Conference.

Last year I told my Director that I was never going to attend Conference with a naked name badge. And this year I'll have 2 ribbons: Future Director and Career Club Sales.
Click to expand...
Well I'll only have the 1st time attendee ribbon (if I read correctly we get one?) , plus your pink CS ribbon, my name badge, CS pin, and my TPC chef hat pin!
 
I am gettin excited. Nervous about the packing --it's 3 in one trip with 2 trips wrapped in before my flight to Chicago. I am so disorganized. It doesn't help that I won't stop looking at CS.

I look forward to meeting you as well.

Any organizational tips?

Julie

Ann, if had been a banana riding a dinosaur of course I would have recognized it. . . .




Does Laura really think that's what a llama looks like?
 
I've never seen a green Llama. Maybe they're that color in TX, and we have the normal ones here in MI.

I think you're right. That may be the only normal thing we have in Michigan!

I think it looks like a green seal with legs.
