Last night I had the pleasure to meet the Cheffers at the MnG! Since I've still so very new to PC (going on my 3rd week), it was wonderful to see the comraderie, support and smiles all around. I'm happy to have gone, even for a short while, and the Cheffers really are a welcoming group!

So here's to all the wonderful Cheffers and I look forward to building relationships here, along with my business!! :D
 
Glad you got to meet everyone!! Who was there and did anyone take any pictures!!

I got a couple pics - which I'll upload/post tonight when I get home :)

There were quite a few, and I didn't catch everyone's name/screen name. But I do remember some.... DebbieJ, AJPratt, Dawn, (eek... apologies to everyone else who's name has slipped my mind!)
 
Great job on going to NC before your first month as a consultant is up!!!

That is just SO COOL that you made this investment in your business to go to conference so soon into your business. What a GREAT decision!!! :)
 
Thanks for sharing the pics.
 
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....aren't we gorgeous?
Joelen, thanks for posting! It was so cool that you were able to come!

What a great time...SO glad we were able to get together!
 
Just wanted to add...

I had such fun sitting & chatting with all of you! What a great bunch of people! Thanks to all of you that were able to attend...it was one of the best nights I had in Chicago! And, so cool to put faces with the screen names! It was an honor! I hope we can all be in the same wave again next year!! Thanks for everything!! (Just wish I would have stayed longer!)
BTW...MissChef - you missed your chance!! HA HA HA!!!
 
Some more Cheffers attended after the pics were taken.. We were the LATE ones....But it was great to "see" all the faces to go with the web site...We also had a nice time at the un-official lunch during the afternoon....
 
I am so sorry that I missed you all, our dinner went really really late. I did meet a few of you around conference, and that was awesome though! Gotta go unpack and get myself organized...thank god i took today and tomorrow off from my FT job as well!
 
Yes, the picture was taken with the first crew. Then it seemed once they left, a whole second crew arrived. Kathy and I didn't leave til about 11 pm!!! It was great to meet you all!
 
Wow - you guys had a big crew - please identify the picture if you can so we can learn...

OMG Amerigan......I wish I had known who you were, as we spent the whole day together the first day at at Home office and classes!!! It is Kathy!!!
 
It was great meeting you gals in person:) Gosh, I couldn't believe it when I looked at my watch & it was after 11....another short night!
 
I truly believe everyone was surpised I was not depressed all the time LOL! I really am a usualy upbeat person. I had such a wonderful time meeting everyone. Conference was awesome. I am working on recovering from my airport issue. I talked about some of my adventures on the other thread. I heard a couple of non-cheffers were not pleased with their workships. Please let the HO know how you felt about your experiences so that they can make changes as needed. I think they truly want to know I actualy got Don Funt as a speaker for my Supporting New Consultants Workshop

I think I started the Rabbit ears thing that night :cool:

I am exhausted but pleased with my experience. Where else am I going to do the Macarena with my Director LOL!

Kathy,

Glad you made it home safely. I wondered how many people were being delayed when the storms hit our house (they come right across Lake Michigan from Chicago to Niles). We even had a tornado warning (that amounted to zilch -- luckily).

So you are the rabbit ears culprit. . .

And it's true, Kathy was not walking around in a state of depression :) -- she exudes warmth and a positive spirit.
