Anyone know a director near Hampton VA that would do hospitality?
 
Beth, there are 4 of us (an AD and 3 D's) that meet in Mechanicsville VA. It is not that close to Hampton, but also not that far if you can't find someone closer!

Thanks Meg,

I'll ask her. She's not my downline but she was a sister consultant under my AD who gave up her directorship in February and her hospitality director also gave it up so now she has no where to meet. I told her she needs to get a team and do her own meeting. :p

I am going to include her in my recognition newsletter and my phone meeting with my long distance consultants so that should help but a regular meeting would be so better than that.
 
Hampton is about a 45 minute to an hour drive from where we meet. With gas prices what they are, she may not be willing to drive that far to us, but assure her that I drive 45 minutes to get to the meeting, too!

I offered my meeting but I guess I'm just a bit too far (a couple hours - I think close to 3). I'll let you know what she says. Thanks again!
 
Hey Beth! I'm maybe 10-15 minutes closer than Meg. I'm right near the Richmond airpot. I'm still quite a treck though...She is more than welcome to come, but like Meg said, with gas prices, it would be a drive :)

Thanks, I just emailed her.

Meg, she hasn't replied to my information about your meeting yet - I think she may be out of town this week.
 
no worries~I am having our next meeting at my house, which is waaay too far for her to come, so the next time we meet in Mechanicsville will be August.
