1. Conference Day 3

Just a little late but here we go:

The highlight time for the day has to be the Golden Kite Luncheon and the wonderful and delightful and so excellent Susanne Williams being announced as Member of the Year ... yeah.


This is an amazing award ... I know because this is the award that I received in 2010. It is a total surprise and the recipient is chosen by the LA office. As Susie Williams proceeded to the stage from the back of the ballroom all the Regional Advisors stood and clapped and cheered our excitement at her award.

The chaotic time of the day has to be the autograph party where the throngs of folks gathered to get their books singed. Patricia Wiles and I have just about got this down pat and organised so that it runs smoothly - if not a little crazily. Now if we could just solve the sort feet problem!

it was a long snaking line around the ballroom foyer

a normal chaotic autograph party

The not so highlight time of the day has to be getting up at 7 am to go to a breakfast meeting. I was sooooooo tired, but at least the company was grand and we chit chatted lots discussing all things international.

not breakfast at Tiffany's but the Hyatt!
