All,
We have asked, and TI has delivered. Below are the times for everyone to meet according to Region. This includes a time for "Old" Region 7 and another time for the new region teams.
Thursday August 12th, 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm (Yes, that's late at night for some people). We will meet in the Springs HIJ Meeting Rooms to give a proper Roast of Annelie Weber, DTM Almost PID. Immediate PDGs, please let me know if you are attending the Convention so that we can plan. I will serve as Emcee for this event, but you will have all the latitude you need. Be sure to invite all of the members from your Districts so that they can attend as well. I am still waiting to hear about catering options for food and beverages.
On Saturday August 14th, after the Annual Business Meeting, the new Regions will meet.
Region 7 will be in Springs HIJ and Region 9 will be in Springs KL. Both will meet at 10:30 am for one hour. Yes, this time it's during the day.
If you have special arrangements that you need to have made, please let me know soon so that I can coordinate with WHQ Staff.
Just two more weeks, then we're going to California! <insert Led Zeppelin song here>

No More Paper
Proxies
In the past, in
preparation for the
Annual Business
Meeting, all club
presidents would
receive a proxy form
to be submitted at
credentials during
the International
Convention.
Beginning this July
2010, in an effort
to simplify the
process, reduce
costs and minimize
the environmental
impact, hard-copy
proxy forms will no
longer be mailed to
each club president. |
