RI Convention New Orleans 2011

On Saturday I embark on my first ever Rotary Convention and I am soooo stoked!!!  I can't wait to get to New Orleans and meet Rotarians from around the world that believe that when you start with Rotary good things happen!  This will also be my first visit to the "Big Easy".  I've always wanted to go to New Orleans so what better way to experience with a few thousand fellow Rotarians lol :)  I hope to meet someone from Anniston Alabama which is the club that we got the idea of our major fundraiser Dancing With Our Stars from and a member from the club we are partnering with in India to help provide clean water to schools in India.  I can't think of any other opportunity that I could meet both of these folks at the same time. I can't wait!!!  I hope to make a lot of new friends and connections with the folks at the convention.  I promise to be good and represent my club & district well :) .... Sunday we will be going on a River Boat Brunch with others from district 7120, not sure if we will be docked or going out on the Mississippi as it's supposed to be cresting on Sunday, we'll have to wait and see!  Stay tuned for updates while I am there and pics!
