Convention 2012

[chh]

So, most of my participation on this website is in this forum particularly. I recognize a lot of folks here by internet profile only. I'm sort of an analog dude in a digital world and would like to change this. Anyone else here going to convention and be interested in having, I don't know, a real conversation?

I do beers well.....

[Cheryl Jones]

I'll be there! Pumping beer at the Howdy Party 5:30-7:30 so come say hello.

We should have a sticker for our name tags denoting a CaveChat member. We've talked about this before but I don't think ever got our act together.


Here's an idea: Convention-going Cavechatters go here to copy the CaveChat logo and print it on a little sticker or bit of paper. Bring it with you and stick it on your name badge. Then we can recognize each other!


Anyone clever enough to do a couple pages of logos on a self adhesive labels? Then you could leave a couple sheets at the NSS Bookstore and put a notice in the daily rag for CaveChatters to stop by to pick one up for their name badges.

Cheryl, that's an awesome idea, but I'm going to miss the howdy party. Can't get there until wednesday. I might just print out my avatar and stick it on my shirt.
Guess I'll make the wed. night party though...

Tried that a few times, but it never really seems to catch on. Maybe this year? Unfortunately I won't be making it to this one, but I hope y'all have fun.

I won't make it to the Howdy Party (probably). But I'll be there for part of the convention. I think my badge will say "Squirrel Girl." So there probably won't be any question, even though I won't have a Cavechat logo.

Just a quick update on the BOG Business at Convention so far:


1.) We had an AMAZING work session on Sunday with regard to the Strategic Plan. Expect it to be ratified on Friday!

Our OVP, Dave Luckins, was swooning after the meeting was over about how great our current Board is.

2.) Bill Jackson, of the Augusta Cave Masters, was voted to serve as a Director for the final year of one of the two slots which were made vacant by reservations. I'm biased, but I think he's going to be an awesome asset to an already strong Board.

I'm fired up!

OK, I'm out of the loop. . . I assume in the above comment you meant resignations not reservations.

I had heard that Mark Joop resigned his position but who else resigned?

[bigredfoote]

Congrats on getting Bill Jackson on the BOG, I remember he did a great job as a proxy.

At 2007 Convention in Indiana Scotty Fee and some other Cavechatters had Black&White Neanderthal man in a Cave Helmet sticker to apply to the Convention Badge. Guess the Geico Cave Man TV Commercials , sort of BURNT that out eventually.

Yes indeed, I was wearing one of those! I think you were too.

NZ - Geez, you missed all the fun and a heluva storm. Where were you? Cheryl Jones had Cave Chat stickers we put on our badges - carrying the torch!

I know, I know... I've been reading about the chaos from afar while enjoying the nice cool summer weather up here in Alaska.

Youbetcha...serious people did serious work for the Society. This Board is focused on the Society and its members. I'm excited to be part of it!
