[nabs-l] Convention, 2012!

[Hartle, Jesse]

Hi Josh,

     I would also remind you that people come to our convention from many different countries.  I have no problem with them having as much pride in their country as you do in yours.  Jesse

I know; we here in Maryland always screw everything up because we're such a big affiliate! Thanks a lot, national center! * Smile!

Hello Joshua,

I do not recall hearing about the comment you refer to in your message.
Perhaps it was just something someone said within earshot of where you were sitting.  Unfortunately, people sometimes say things others find disrespectful.  I think this is simply a part of life.

As far as the seating arrangements are concerned, the state affiliates are always seated alphabetically during general sessions.  The only exceptions I know about is the year they decided to do it backwards, and I think sometimes they place Maryland in the center of the room or the front of the middle isle regardless of how this places them in the alphabetical order.

Alphabetically speaking, it would make sense that Florida would be somewhere behind Arkansas.  If Florida is not somewhere directly behind you in your isle, it could be they are just behind you in the next section over.
Although I cannot say for sure since I am not too familiar with this section of the room.  If you find out it is the same this year, perhaps you could investigate why this may be the case.

I hope this helps answer some of your questions.

Take care,
Elizabeth

 Hi, all.
 I can't wait, until June 29th, when I'll be leaving for Dallas!
 I hope most of you, who are on this list, and attending convention,  will attend the Jaws 14 debut!
 I looked at the agenda, and was shocked to find that there was no  mention of the Blind Driver Chalenge car!
 Will it be in one of the exhibits, this year?
 I never got to look at it, 2 years ago.
 Also, during the general sessions, I'd appreciate it if noone says,  "Viva Mexico!"
 This is the USA, and we should all support our country!
 I know, that this comment was off topic, but that was one thing that  turned me off, 2 years ago.
 Who was that guy?
 Also, someone from Florida keeps blowing some kind of bullhorn!
 Why was Florida seated behind the Arkansas section, two years ago?
 Thanks, Joshua
