[Ohio-Talk] Saturday's Session

[Colleen Roth]

Hello Everyone,
I was surprised when South Dakota did not have a Delegate for Voting. I know I am a little old-fashioned but I think it is the responsibility of the Delegate and Alternate Delegate to do their job. I feel that they have made a Commitment to the members of their Affiliate. I was also sad that Wyoming did not have a Delegate at the Convention. In the past, I know that National helped a struggling Affiliate get a Delegate and Alternate to the Convention.
I got myself in a bit of hot water one year when I said people should go to the Convention to represent their Affiliate and attend Sessions and other Meetings. We should try to make sure that a member of our Delegation be present at Sessions, Division Meeting and other activities. I am not saying you shouldn't have fun at a Convention.
In 1980 I went shopping with someone from the Housekeeping Staff at the Hotel. We became friends and kept in touch for many years.
If we were in Louisville I would probably spend about four hours at APH.
I haven't been there since I was a little girl.
When Judy, Karen and I went to Dallas Judy went to ges Baby Food for Karen. Karen sat at the table in Independence Market so I could help people with clocks and watches. I got permission to have Karen sit in her wheelchair beside me. She didn't cause any disruptions that I can remember.
If I had been able to work at the Independence Market and check out some exhibits on Wednesday in NOLA I might have gone to the Ursuline Convent if that had been possible.
Sorry for this long letter but I just miss everyone.
Paige I hope you were able to claim your prize. Frankie Jones I also hope you were able to claim your prize.
I hope people bought little pads for their dogs feet. I would not have thought of that but someone mentioned it. I didn't know this but I guess some cats get sunburned. That probably applies to dogs too.
Those test kits would have been nice but I would have had to pass it on since I do not have a smartphone yet.
I loved the Gift Certificates for Independence Market.
For those of you who have cats they may not be very happy when you get home.
