OB Meet At The WOC!

[Bradfo69]

Hi Folks!

I suggested to Sue that with the World Orchid Conference coming up (you are going, right?) that it would be an ideal place for Orchid Board members to finally associate a face with a screen name and meet each other in person.

Since many of us may be going on different days and at different times, what I am proposing is that we arrange a meeting site at the conference at a particular time each day so if you are there and want to have an opportunity to meet some of these crazy people we all commiserate with, we can.

I would propose something like every morning at 11:30 a.m. that any OB members who want to meet go to the "whatever" spot. I'll try and get a layout of the Sheraton and propose a location. Maybe a fountain in a lobby or something.

I know I'm going by myself and would welcome the opportunity to meet people to wander the exhibits with or attend a lecture or even make plans for lunch, a drink or dinner.

What do you all think?

As this trip is a constant source of conversation for me and hubby nowadays, he made a suggestion that all the OB members wear a nametag (name and Orchidboard) so we'll be able to identify each other there. I think it's a good idea...how about the rest of you? Not only will it allow us to know each other but it would be a subtle way to advertise OB as I'm sure folks will read it and ask what OB is...we could make lots of new friends there
