Yes, you get to go, it's part of your registration!

 

[babywings76]

Are we notified of the theme? Or do we have to ask our directors?

No theme this year and no dance.

Look on your commission statement. It should tell you there.

Mine is Robin Shilling

She is not my executive director but she's my national one! She's the 3rd director on my pay check! Mine is Pauleen Livermore... but she's under Robin.... but she's an executive so I'll be going to hers!

Hmmm. That's good to know. I still haven't registered. Trying to see if anyone has room for Thursday night. I have to take the South Shore home on Friday evening. Thought I could spend a wee bit of time at the Dinner, grab my present (I'm a sucker for all the free stuff) and then grab the train for home.

Robin Anderson is my executive director.

I got the hook up.

 

[jbdowd0798]

NJR as well. I'm not 100% shocked no dancing. Everyone is trying to scale back/save money so thats one way to do it. I'm just interested in knowing why no theme. Its not hard, you usually have a table decoration/flowers anyway. Hummm would love to know more.

Me too...& me neither!

 

[chefHLM]

Look on your commission statement. It should tell you there.

Thanks...I never noticed that! I'm usually just looking for the number at the bottom! LOL Well guess mine is Cindy Bennetch Sample. My director told me this will be her second year as an ED but she never told me her name.

No theme this year and no dance.

For real?????? Why no theme? I understand the dance thing. We ususally hang out for the awards, but head out before the dance. Are you guys dressing up or staying more casual?

 

[lmradlein]

Mine is Paula Schmietendorf.

 

[flemings99]

From Kelli Downey Cluster:

Executive Banquet will be casual dress for that evening and we are at the Hilton for the first time for this event.

 

[lacychef]

I was glad to hear casual Barb! Of course, I guess we usually are pretty casual there.

Me too! I totally need conference. I think I've lost my Pampered Chef mojo this week. :grumpy:

HHMMM Haven't seen any mention of Patti Mocerino... anyone else going to be at her dinner? I haven't heard anything about it, yet. Of course, I registered just a few hours before registration closed.... lol

I heard Patti is doing a superhero theme.

 

[christinaspc]

I found out my theme for our dinner is called "feeling the love" me and my room mate are planning our attire for the event. Should be a fun one.

 

[Flamingo]

Anybody know the theme for Beth Jacobs dinner????

 

[soccermama]

I heard Patti is doing a superhero theme.

She did that theme last year, I think.... it was fun, but I'd sure love to see something new this year.

 

[chefcaroline]

Stacy Pressman

We are having a sports theme...

 

[jbdowd0798]

She did that theme last year, I think.... it was fun, but I'd sure love to see something new this year.

I thought Pattie's was the Incredibles last year. Don't quote me on it I just remember our pre-conference workshop with her and thats what she had or something like that. (I was there with my long distance hospitality group...long story but I love the group!)


I just an going to dress casual for NJR's since there isn't a theme or anything really happening. Hope the food is better than last year!
