how do you know where beth jacobs dinner is????? It has been at the hilton for the last 3 years....

i know because beth is my ex. Dir. And it is in her monday motivation newsletter to her team.

I know because i have difficulty getting around and i make sure i find out where dinner is cause it is 2 less times i have to be bounced on and off a bus.

Why did you want to know how i knew?????

Thanks Andrea for pointing me in the right direction. I know me & Ida (kissrae) will be there w/ our roommate. Can't wait to see everyone.

I have an event in the Hilton Thursday night but will be down after
Keep me posted!!

 

[kcmckay]

Anyone staying at Sheraton that wants to split a cab or travel with me to the meet n greet at Hilton Thursday night? I'm not too keen on traveling in an unfamiliar place by myself. I also have to find out when our dinner is and where as well. I will ask my director tonight though, we usually talk on Tuesdays.

One thing that I really liked last year was that we had two meet 'n greets.
One at McCormick the first day for lunch and the second in the evening.
This way, if you can't make one, you can hopefully make the other.

I had a fun time at the lunch last year and met so many new people.

Maybe we can think about doing both again this year.

Again, I would like to encourage us to have 2 meet and greets like we did last year.
One for lunch at McCormick and another in the evening at whichever hotel. Then, more people might be able to join in.

Which day? Thursday?

Which day? Thursday?

Yes, it would have to be Thursday.
The first workshop starts at 1pm, so we might want to make it earlier than 12noon.

Someone who was there last year, can you explain where we met last year. All I remember is it is in the middle of the building, down this hallway.
Thanks

No, we didn't eat at the McDonald's. It was further back in the building from there.
Here is the info I found on the McCormick website:

Plate Room Food Court - Level 2.5, Grand Concourse, South Building
This bustling location offers an interesting array of items available to take on the run or to be enjoyed in the adjacent seating area. Six food concepts are available at this location, including Little Italy, Antipasto Bar, Pacific Rim, the American Grill, The Carvery and Fiesto Bravo. The Plate Room is open daily.

I believe this was it. Anyone else who was there know?

I say around 8:30 ish is my vote, I thought there was a bar there we can meet at. I've always stayed at the Sheraton so I don't know.

I don't think she'll be back until around when you get out, but of course she can come hang out w/ me if she is back. I can't piss off the driver otherwise I'll be hitching a ride home.

 

[MWCOOKIN]

I'll plan to meet you all at 11 on thursday. If i can't get there look for me thru conference, i'll be in a scooter. Not hard to find me. Say hi! Eager to see old friends and meet new.

 

[Flamingo]

Ok ladies this is a bump for our meet n greet...

We will meet at the Hilton lobby bar at 8:15 ish.... If you need to be later no problem. Just show up when you can... See you all in a few days..... YEA!!!!

 

[Flamingo]

About the Lunch time meet... I heard that everything is in one building this year so maybe the place we have met at in the past is too far.... ???? Any thoughts for those of you who are veterans at NC...

here's the info I got from the McCormack website:
In the Lakeside building there are no sit-down or cafeteria type restaurants. They have a take-out coffee shop which is on level 2 which is the main floor. They say that they have some other take-out place on level 3 but I have never seen it (maybe someone else has).
Even if we take-out, there is no where to really sit except to sit on the floor somewhere. Or we can go outside (bridge between the buildings) where there are a few seperated tables, but we won't know if it will be raining (it has) or too hot.

So to answer you question - I don't know. I'm just providing the info and let's see what everyone else says. I'll go wherever.

 

[Melissa78]

I'm in the second HO tour (8am?) - Anyone in that one? I have the newbiew orientation at 7:15 followed by the HO tour, I guess backwards from others.

No Melissa, I am taking the 1st HO tour and I am not doing the newbie orientation because my director said it wasn't necessary.

 

[babywings76]

I'm taking the first tour, then orientation
