OPENING DAY OF THE CONVENTION!

Sorry for yelling the post title but I'm a little excited here.  So many fun things to see and do.  There were workshops, the Opening luncheon, the exhibit room opened, the sales room opened and roundtables are yet to come.  WHAT A DAY!

Here are pictures of some of the workshops.

Isn't it awesome to see young people in the workshops?

Later tonight I'll post pictures from the Luncheon but here are a few highlights.  Joan Carn won a $150.00 shopping spree. Sylvia Roundtree was recognized for being a member of NAME for 40 years.

Colleen Walker announced the following were Academy of Honor Honorees for this year:

  There were shouts and tears of joy as these announcements were made. Congratulations to the Honorees.

More pictures of the luncheon, sales room, birthday party and roundtables in a bit. Talk to you later.
