hi all. just got home this evening from leadership.

it was awesome.

With the thousands of people there, we still literally 'ran' into some CS 'ers just by recognizing folks there as we will going from event to event..

I met -

Legacy
ChefAnn
Deb
Finley.....


:>
 
A bunch of us were at the MnG on Wednesday night... Ann posted a pic on one of the Leadership threads. I'm sure she'll have another pic from the Thursday MnG when she gets home.
 
Thursday MnG was not well attended. No pic. Does someone have the pic from Friday dinner? I stupidly didn't take out my camera for it. I've got a pic of Deb on the big screen before general session - I'll crop it and post.And I can't believe how many Cheffers I met - so cool!!
 
i was unable to attend the meet and greets...but I did see a few of you while I was there, sorry i didn't stop to say HI, it was always at odd times...I saw Ann at the end of an escalator and Kate Jenson was a few peps back in the LONG line to check in at the Millenium!! Remind me never to stay there again! Hope you all had a great time and hopefully at Conference or Leadership next year I will be able to attend one the of MnG's and officially meet you all :)
 
I haven't had time to download my pics yet - but hopefully I have a decent one from Friday night dinner.

I'll try to post it by tomorrow night.

Great meeting some of you in person - sorry we didn't get to visit longer!
 
I met Ann. Thank you for the cards planning on using right away.

Alot of things seemed to go wrong. But there was a lot of good information being handed out. We not only have long lines but we had 2 fire alarms lots of elevator problem. Once rode up in one that had no lights. The Sky walk was shut down on part of the route and there was not a lot to do unles you like shopping at Macy or Fifth Avenue.

Maybe Denver will be alot better next year.

We had a BLAST with you guys!!!! We actually stayed after you left and they kicked us out of the bar because they were closing! Oh my!! :yuck:
 
I hope to meet all of you next year in Denver. I have no reason not to go, since i live about 15 minutes away from the general area of where I'm guessing it will be!!!
I just started using this site, but you guys are so helpful!

I saw Deb...Ann and Kate...EXHAUSTED!!! I was is Morfia's class...but didn't get a chance to intro myself to her.
 
Oops, didn't have you on my list Gin, cuz I didn't just MEET you--it was like seeing an old friend. :) *smooches*
 
I met Chef Ann and Colleen during one of the sessions!!! That was great!!! I really wanted to make it to the M&G but my calendar on my cell got mixed up with the 3 hour difference and kept reminding me after the events were done. It even went off during my workshop while I was speaking (grrrr!) I saw a group on the lobby of one of the Hotels and I thought maybe it was a group of Cheffers, one may have been KG!
 
KG wasn't there, so that must have been his evil twin. :)Deb, I posted a pic of you on the big screen in the thread entitled "Random Images."
 
Hey Adriana,That was me hanging with Clementina. :)
 
Wow... no one met me...
Am I so forgetable?
I think I will pout now.
 
How could we forget you, puddin' and your really expensive DH?!?!?!

(I'm eating lunch at work and almost spit my mouthful of yogurt on my computer when I ready your siggy line! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!)
 
Alison, you're covered in my blanket "And I can't believe how many Cheffers I met - so cool!!" statement. :)

Really? I almost ran down the escalator the wrong way to get to meet him, but the recruit I brough would have thought I was unstable. :) I will look for that pix, thanks!!

Ann, I was disappointed I didn't get to meet you! At the Recruiting workshop on Saturday, I walked by the front row, looking at everyone's name badges. I had lots of smiles and just said, "I'm looking for Ann..." So you may have been there and I missed seeing you!I met "Ruthie" and someone else said hi to me when I was mentioning Chef Success to another person. If anything, I think I was an unauthorized PR gal for Chef Success!Leadership was amazing to me. I simply love being around other women who enjoy PC as much as I do! It's just a top-notch organization that provides the best incentives and service around.Looking forward to seeing more of you at future events!
 
OK --Did I miss the pudding---Joke???
 
Well I'm bummed because I didn't meet any of you. Things are home were ... to put it mildly.. NUTS before I left and I forgot EVERYTHING that I had printed out in my printer so I had no info on where you were and of course Wed night I stood in line for quite some time... I couldn't remember if you were going to be in Champs and I came in several times and walked all around but I was kind of timid to walk up to groups and ask... I DON'T want to miss those of you in Wave 1 this summer...
