Day 8 - SN17 - Banquet - Golden
A good breakfast again, followed by the general meeting at 9. I set up in the vendor room, sharing a table with our International Secretary, Dee. Patti went to the Ride Like A Pro class. Dee and I had a nice talk. I asked how the gas station incident would affect Skye's Safe Mileage. Her answer was that things like that are really up to the chapter, but she felt it shouldn't be an issue.
Vending closed at 2 and we only had 6 decals left! That should give us enough to order more and still have an even treasury!

Skye took a short nap before getting ready for the banquet. The theme was "Rockin' the Rockies" with music from the 50s, 60s and 70s. The tables were done up with old LPs shaped into bowls and album cover "doilies". It was nice; good food, good fun, and good music. I kept getting compliments on Skye. She impresses people.
Dee inquired when I am going to run for National Office. She commented that my facebook posts are thoughtful and meaningful. Our past Web Mistress, Donna also mentioned that every time she sees our Chapter Chat in STB she thinks, "Now, this chapter is going someplace!" Cactus Cuties Chapter and Las Vegas Chapter offered to help us put on a National Conference when we are ready.
I have been tossing around ideas ... hotel on the West Bank, with easy access to the French Quarter and trolleys to the Garden District; also easy access to the River Road Plantations. I have a whole vision of our presentation in my head. Maybe after I retire and I can spend the time doing the groundwork!
