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.
 
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.

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.

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?
 
Mine is Paula Schmietendorf.
 
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.
 
I was glad to hear casual Barb! Of course, I guess we usually are pretty casual there.

I heard Patti is doing a superhero theme.
 
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.
 
Anybody know the theme for Beth Jacobs dinner????

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