Week two is underway and there has been lots going on in Executive Office, most importantly finishing up all the preparations for CONVENTION!
Monday we had our Convention Staff Meeting - going over all the nitty gritty details of what has to be done, what has been done, and getting ready for the final packing day if you can believe it.. NEXT THURSDAY! Its crazy to think that Convention is already in full swing and in a little over a week all our hard work will be on its way to Dallas, Texas where we will meet it to pull off a wonderful, fabulous, ADPi-tastic event!

Over 170 of our 300 boxes we are taking are packed and ready to go, and the end is in sight! As I talked about in my first blog post, I am shadowing Miss Sally Thomas. Miss Sally is in charge of all the packing and many of the event details. I have learned many things from Miss Sally especially in regards to events. Just a few of these being, have your own boxing tape and box cutter, put your name on it, and don't share it with anyone. I have also learned that there is a method to every bit of madness, and each box needs a number, and all of its contents need to be logged. This is not Miss Sally's first rodeo, and I am sure that all of her hard work and preparations will help pull off a close to, if not flawless event.
Lions, and Diamonds, and VIOLETS OH MY!!
One of the other tasks the other interns and myself have been busy at work at is Violets for My Sister. For my non-ADPi readers, this is a program put on by the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation for sisters to send a violet to their sisters and the money goes to the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation to support collegiate women with scholarships and educational programming. Any sister can send one, even to a sister not attending Convention so hint hint to all my sister friends reading this to send them to your chapter representatives and diamond sisters to support the Alpha Delta Pi Foundation!
There have been lots of Violets coming in and the deadline is fast approaching, so make sure to get in your order soon and they will be Convention ready when you arrive. Otherwise you can surely purchase them there!
In our free time we have found a new favorite place to eat - Yeah! Burger, and are soon to be familiar faces we are sure. We are also getting a little more adventurous and looking from some fun new areas to walk around and see the sites of Atlanta in. Our navigating skills are leaving a little to be desired as our trip to Virginia Highlands went from a 1.5 mile walk to a 4 mile trip and the 25 minute estimated walk quickly became closer to an hour. The burger was well worth that long hike, and luckily we were able to make it home in a much shorter trip.
