[chefann]

A CS ribbon, for on buttons.

 

[momoftwins]

Ah great - thanks Ann! I am bummed I won't get to see you this year!

 

[pamperedalf]

Like Ida said we will be there!! Less than a month away.

 

[chefann]

Hi, all!I wanted to let you know that Andrea (flamingo) will have ribbons for cheffers at the MnG, so make sure you see her. She'll have double-stick adhesive, too, so you can stick your ribbon to the back of your button so that it hangs down.Ribbon colors correspond to star colors, with white ribbons for strippers. No star? No ribbon. Sorry.

 

[Bren706]

I can't wait. Cheryl, I pm'd you my info a while back. Let me know if you need it again.

 

[MissChef]

I'll be there, that is in my hotel! Looking forward to meeting a few more of you! LACY!!!!!!!! You had better try!! But if you can't, I'd love to have lunch with you, on Monday, also!:thumbup:

 

[momoftwins]

I can't wait. Cheryl, I pm'd you my info a while back. Let me know if you need it again.

I did to - let me know if you need it again Cheryl! Are you going to email that to all of us??

 

[pcchris]

Do we need to rsvp, or can we just show up if we can make it?

I might be able to come with a couple of friends.......is it ok?

 

[Koolotus]

OK...I got everyone's info that PM'd me. If you want to be included on the list, please PM me by Monday JULY 7th.
I will PM the list to you all then, after I type it
***
No RSVP's necessary, please feel free to bring your non-cheffer friends. Hopefully we will be hanging for awhile in the Java romm.

Personally, I have Cluster dinner that night, of course no details yet....(take yer time...I don't mind waiting...I have nothing else to do with my vacation anyway....OOPS! forget all that- I am waiting with baited breath (hopefully I don't suffocate!)

I am SURE there will be cheffers there at 8, and you all better stay till I get there!!!!

 

[pcchris]

Thanks Cheryl. Don't know for sure if I'll be there or not.....just wanted to know! What kind of info are you looking for? Forgive me for the dumb questions.

 

[DebbieJ]

Just PM'd you Cheryl.I will be there, probably later rather than earlier as we also have a cluster dinner. I might bring a friend who should be a Cheffer.

 

[Addie4TLC]

I will PM you too Cheryl. I was sure I could be there and I just looked at the invite for our Director Dinner. I didn't think it would be so late 8pm to 9:30pm. Does anyone know if Cafe Iberico (739 N. La Salle Dr.) is anywhere near the Sheraton? I could sneak out. How long will you be there?

 

[Koolotus]

Since I am staying at the sheraton so once I get there I will stay till 10:30-11.
Dinner's on Monday run late because we are in the product room till 7:30.
Mapquest your restaurant Addie, see if you can sneak away...that's my plan!

Come and take Clementina with you. She is rooming with me so she has to come.

 

[Addie4TLC]

Come and take Clementina with you. She is rooming with me so she has to come.

Great we will be together at the Director dinner! Okay, we can both sneak out!

 

[Addie4TLC]

If I go with Clementina it wont be a problem she lives there so she knows her way around! We will be there, Debbie will help me convince her.

 

[Koolotus]

Awesome!!!!!!!

 

[Becky0216]

anyone staying at the Hilton that will want to head over with me?

 

[DebbieJ]

I'd be happy to go with anyone from the Hilton, but I can't guarantee what time I'm leaving as we are having a cluster dinner in my director's room before hand. I plan on taking the #6 bus which is very easy to pickup outside the Hilton and it drops you one block from the Sheraton. Fare is $2.

 

[Becky0216]

Deb,
I think we are having dinner with our cluster as well. So I would be happy to head over with you. I just don't want to go alone as I am unfamiliar with Chicago.

 

[Bren706]

I am not sure if I have dinner plans or not, but I am also at the Hilton.

 

[PChef_ang]

I'm not certain what the cluster plans are yet, but I'm in the Sheraton so I will defintely try and make it for a bit!

 

[heather223]

I am at the Sheraton and I am planning on being there...

 

[momoftwins]

Lacy - I know you and I are at the Palmer House - who else is staying there that can take a cab with us to the meet n greet?????

 

[MissChef]

I'm so glad I came back on here and read this, for some odd reason, I was thinking we were meeting on Sunday night! That would have sucked!!! LOL!~
So, I will be there this year, hopefully on time! I'm going to not go to dinner with my cluster if it's going to take as long as it did last year (4 hours for dinner!)ugghhhh!! Dang wait time was 3 hours! :grumpy:

 

[Koolotus]

Glad you got it cleared up Cathy
I will be at Dick's Last Resort with Amanda and Ida Sunday....If you want some CRABBY BALLS!!!
LOL

Oh you kill me. I had those last year for the first time. My dh called and asked where we were and I told him we were on the pier eating some crabby balls. He almost died, he asked if I was really in Chicago for a conference.

It's getting closer, so close I can smell the Chicago air and not this smoke.

 

[lacychef]

Cathy, are you coming to lunch with us on Monday too?

Sharisse, I don't know! I'm still not positive if I'll make it or not. We did dinner as a cluster last year, so it just depends if we do & how long. I've got a friend that I'm rooming wih that doesn't post here much, but maybe I can get her to come!

 

[Flamingo]

anyone staying at the Hilton that will want to head over with me?

Hello,
A group of consultants Some I know and some I met at confrence last year are going to dinner before the meet N Greet. Would you like to join us and network and then you can go with the few of us that are going?????? Let me know if you want....

[MissChef]

Yep! I'll be there, I have it programmed into my phone, so I don't forget!! LOL!

 

[momoftwins]

LOL Cathy on the programmed into your phone!! Where on earth did you go for dinner last year that the wait time was 3 hours?? Crazy!!

Thanks for the invite! I can almost guarantee my director will want to go out to dinner! If not though, I'll come find you!

WHAT TIME? Just incase!

 

[MissChef]

LOL Cathy on the programmed into your phone!! Where on earth did you go for dinner last year that the wait time was 3 hours?? Crazy!!

It was totally crazy. We went around 5:30ish and I didn't get back to the hotel until about 9:30-10:00, that is when I finally joined the cheffer meet n greet and I missed quite a few people! Ughhhhh!!!!! It was a pizza place, a popular one within walking distance from our hotel! I can't remember the name though!

 

[pamperedalf]

Cathy we are going around 5ish. Ida and I are going to dinner at 7.

 

[mrssyvo]

probably Lou Malnati's or Giordano's. Both of them are crazy busy!!!!
