Oops- I forgot to make the poll on the other one viewable, so we could see who voted for what. Vote here!

This thread is to gather information about if and when people are interested in getting together at Leadership. The Upper Level Director dinner is Thursday, Jan. 10, but I don't think that will affect any of the usual suspects around here.

Once I get a feel for how many people are interested, etc., then I'll scope out possible locations at/near the hotels.

Thanks!
 
Ummm....where's the poll?

I was typing, Kate! The software posts the main body of the thread while the originator is still creating the poll.
 
Ahhh....didn't know that :P

I like how, with the additional 2 options, the status bar for "corn" is now yellow. :)

It's a joke. A forum DH frequents often has "beer" as a poll choice - just because. And my bird says "corn" all the time. corncorncorncorncorncorncorn:D
 
No Leadership for me this year...my BFF is having her first child that week. I choose baby!!
 
I have not made it to Future Director, so I'm not able to go to Leadership. That's okay. I need to keep my money! I will be going to conference. I should probably save my November earnings for that.
 
This will be my first leadership. I am not too comfortable traveling in the winter but Ohio is much closer than the other choices in the past. I am trying to get my FD to go.
I haven't made reservations, etc. yet, but will soon.
 
I chose whenever. Not sure yet when I'm flying in, probably Wed.
 
Okay I say whenever as well I have a red eye on Tues night so I will be taking the first shuttle to leave Dayton at noon on Wed.Thank God I bought my ticket on Monday my ticket has gone up over a hundred dollars since then. I am so excited to see everyone again!!! & those who weren't in my wave this year!!
 
Unfortunately, I won't be going :cry: ....not FD yet and no corn!! LOL ;)

I'll be there in spirit.....:p

I wish I could go, since Canada and US are joining together this year. Let's hope they do the same next year and I can get to meet some of you!!!! :D

Hope you guys all have a ball........I'm sure you will! And, don't miss me too much! haha :p
 
My dd's 6th b-day is Jan. 10. She'd be in tears if I left! Actually, she already was when I was telling DH about it & she overheard me tell him the dates!

Have fun, you guys! See you in Chicago! :D
 
I'm registered! No travel arrangements yet (may try for a military hop), but I plan to get there somehow (short of having to swim). :)

Anytime for the meet n greet is good for me!

Leggy- if you can't get a hop into Wright-Patt, see if you can get one into Selfridge. I can pick you up from there. :) It's a longer drive for you but if it's the difference between not going and going...
 
Haven't voted yet, because I am still working on FD to go.........I have all the money in my conf. club account.....
 
I have to wait and see when the others I hope to drive there with are planning on getting there. I'll post when I know more.
Can't wait to meet you all!!

I'm kinda in the same boat - with it being so close, I was thinking of driving in on Thursday, but realized that it doesn't allow me any time for weather/road conditions. So I updated my hotel reservation this morning to include Wednesday night. I should still be able to work a partial day on Wednesday, then leave here. (I don't get a whole lot of vacation time.)
 
Count me in!

I would think that Thursday while the uppers are out doing their thing - we can get together and do ours...

I am travelling with my director (also an ED) so I know she'll be at that event. I don't know details yet, but that sounds like a good time. Just let me know what everyone decides on and I'll try to be there!

Looking forward to my first Leadership - achieved FD this past spring and missed last year...

Reminder--
As long as you're voting for meet 'n' greet, don't forget to go to the schedules thread and post your workshop schedule. I'm keeping a list and will both post it and have copies at the MNG so we can look for (or avoid) each other in workshops.
 
Sorry, had to post corn just because I thought it was so funny! Love that option!

Yay! Robin wins the prize for being the first person to pick Corn! Well, other that whoever picked it in the first version of the poll, but I don't know who that was.
 
I'm also registered but not sure how I'll get there. May be taking a military hop with Kris/Leggy. Tickets are over $600 from here.

But since I'm from Ohio, I'm spending extra time there. We should be able to get to Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton. They have flights leaving Ramstein that land on the east coast then continue on to Wright-Patt pretty often.
 
I voted for the wrong day! I really wanted to say "whenever" not Saturday!! I am just so darn excited about Leadership I can't type!!

I think we're going to end up having it on corn. :D
 
I am still looking for a ride from someone in SW Ontario, or possibly close to Pt Huron or Detroit Michigan. PM me if you fit into this location and are looking for someone to talk to for the 6 hour drive.

Hey, Friday. I'm in Detroit, and it looks like I may be driving down on Wednesday - don't know for sure if I'll be going with someone or not. There are buses that traverse the border between Windsor and Detroit (I've seen them on the streets of Downtown Detroit). If she can get on one of them and I can meet her on the US side of the border, then I can take her. (I say that because I don't know the first thing about Windsor and would get lost if I had to pick her up).

Actually its ME I need a ride for. I am in Sarnia and could arrange to have someone drop me off to meet you somewhere!!! OOOOOOO PM ME!! I am getting so excited about going!!!!!
 
Not sure if I'm going to be able to attend... haven't made FD yet... I know, I know, there is still lots of time. But since I'm in Cincy, I'll be crashing the MnG and "Whenever" is good for me!
Ann - you planning any place in particular for this shindig?
