Our MeetUp at NARTS Conference 17

May 31, 2017 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Every Conference that I can attend, we have a TGtbT meetup in the lobby bar on Thursday at 6pm. As wesay on our Conference info page:

Every year we have a TGtbT get-together before the “official” NARTS event, at 6 in the hotel’s lobby bar. 

Join us at this completely-casual, drop in and order yourself a drink and introduce yourself event! 

At 8, we’ll go together to the NARTS Getting to Know You reception, and make even more new friends!

(Afraid you won’t know anyone? Click to see a picture of me. There. Now you have a friend in the bar, Thursday, 6PM. See how easy?)

And most years, we have a little theme, just for fun. This year, in honor of the NARTS theme, “Turn Over a New Leaf”, we’re going with

Leaf It to the Boss

You know how all the worst jobs in your store, YOU get to do? (I’m thinking dealing with the PITA supplier, telling a customer she can’t try on stuff ’cause her body odor lingers, digging the dust bunnies out from under the shoe shelves, scrubbing the bathroom walls of human excrement, and so on…)

So yeh, we need a little time spent with others who understand our situation.

Leaf It to the Boss

It’s not a big deal. Just wear/ carry something leaf-related: a pin, a green shirt, a hair ornament, heck, carry a leafy branch if that’s something you’d like to do. So we can tell you’re one of the NARTS folks who want to meet up. At 8, we’ll all descend (ascend, probably) to the NARTS function  together.

Look for me. I’ll be the one…

well, you’ll just have to come to see what I’ve come up with!

      It’s so weird. Facebook makes us feel like we already know each other, doesn’t it? LOL
