There is a chance that the convention falls on the same week as hubby's business trip to Detroit. If so, I can't go. But, I'm hoping its a different week. We'll see.

The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I am excited about it. It will be my first.I have gone to HUNDREDS of conventions....some because I had to and some because I wanted to. This sounds like a lot more fun than a Department of Education Convention. I didn't realize it was that many days! Cool! Sat - Thursday!!!!!!!I was pretty impressed with the package I received from them and how quick I received it! Certificate and all! A full fledged member!!!I feel like this is the beginning of something really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
