I am going to Celebration!! I just signed up this afternoon and I am also going to do the WHO walk too.

Thanks to Vicki and Shawn for giving me some good advice here on this
board, it really helped me to decide to go, even though I am very new
at this. I hope we can meet each other sometime during the conference!

Yeah! We will meet at Celebration. Working on the when and where. Are you coming in on Thursday or Friday morning? I will run a poll in June so we can coordinate this. A big task, but when there is a will, there is a way!

ANGIE!!!

That is so exciting! This is going to be such an incredible experience! I can't wait to meet everyone and hug each one of you! Does anyone know if we'll be able to tour the new office building? I did read that somewhere, right? We have a new office building/warehouse. I went on a tour of the old place two years ago. It was fascinating to see them making and packaging the products!

I vowed I would never disrespect my lipstick again lol..they are made practically by hand! I remember they were also making a huge vat of Sugar Body Butter. I told my tour leader that if they looked up later and I was gone, it would be because I "accidentally" fell into that vat! It smelled amazing.

OK, I have to calm down now or I will never be able to get to sleep tonight! This is going to be a blast, ladies!

I think the tour this year is "Virtual" but I could be mistaken.

I am so excited too!! I was thinking this trip would be around $1000
dollars but so far it has cost less than $500! A few parties will pay
for that easy.

I just can't wait. I know I will learn so much.

P.S. I am coming in on Friday, Vicki. I am looking forward to meeting
you all. Is anyone else doing the WHO walk? I don't even know when that
is, I figured it was sometime on Saturday, but I signed up anyway! LOL

Have fun walking Angie! Bring your hydrating mist with you because it is going to be hot, hot, hot! Even early in the morning! It is a lot of fun to participate in.


The session starts at 1 pm on Friday. It may be too hectic to try and meet before the session unless everyone is getting in early. I remember the check in line going smoothly, but I got in after the family receptions started.


Any suggestions? I know dinnerwill be spent with my Director and unit on Friday night.

Hello Ladies, I too am now registered for the Celebration and even though I am new to the group I think it will be fun to meet you all. I must say you will all recognize me. I will be the one on crutches! Due to an unfortunate accident in November I broke my leg in 33 places and had surgery immediatley. I just found out that the surgery was not done correctly and am going back in for another surgery on the 25th of this month. I had to schedule it then becasue I had 5 Spas between no and then. And I am not missing Celebration, so with the help of other gals in my unit, I am going to be there! I assume I will be the only one on crutches, so look for me!

Thanks Dora! Now that you mention it, seems like I remember something like that being said. That's cool.

Christy, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. You will be in my prayers for a speedy recovery! Sounds like it's not holding you back one bit, so YOU GO GIRL! See you in Dallas!

Hey girls! Will we get a registration packet for Celebration?? with all of the details? It's my first year going. I'm excited!

No registration packet that I know of.


You will get some emails though with information. Is there something that you're wondering about that some of us who've been lots of times can answer for you?


I'll say it again - this is a smart committment decision for your business. Once a decision is made - the plan just starts coming together and you go nowhere but UP, Up, UP!


I love your siggy, btw Jessica...cute.

I think last year we got a postcard. But don't quote me! It has been a while since we got a registration packet in the mail.


I really liked the binder that they gave us last year. It had a page with all the events/seminars that were scheduled for you to attend. I kept mine and showed it to a new recruit. She decided to join me at Celebration after looking at it.

I registered last Saturday, but haven't received anything. I registered
online and it said I was registered for the celebration and Who Walk.
Should I have heard something by now?

05-18-2006, 08:16 PM
No. You will receive your packet at the registration deskin July. BeautiControl has confirmed your registration so all you have to do is wait.

HOW EXCITING!


Hey, Dora...the only questions I have are what to bring to wear...do we only need one formal?


and...what timecan weregister? and is thatThursday or Friday?


Thanks!!

I've not been in a few years but previous to that I went 11 times.


1 formal for the awards....and some don't really wear a "formal" but just something glitzy and glamorous


good walking shoes


a large tote/bag to carry everything that we get/need


business casual for assemblies/workshops - think comfort because you're going to be sitting and walking bring a sweater/jacket because you will want to control your own temperature/comfort and we never know what we're going to get with the thermostat


You'll get an email with all the schedules in it when we get closer to the date. Registration will most likely be 3-4 hours before the opening assembly at 1 on Friday.


Has anyone else here been to Celebration?


It might be good for someone to start a different thread for tips that we call can share.

I don't remember getting an email schedule last year. Everything was waiting for us at the Texan Resort. Upstairs in the banquet room area. We can check in on Thursday or Friday. Jessica, I will be there on Thursday night.


They will give us information about the shuttle service available from the airport to the hotels. It was reasonable even if you had to circle around until the van was full!

I don't remember getting an email with the schedule of events, but I do remember getting a postcard closer to Celebration that they want you to bring when you register.

I love riding that shuttle from the airport! I've met so many amazing people on that shuttle. Everyone is always SO excited and sharing storides and ideas. I love it!

I can't think of anything else different right now, but if I do, I'l post it. I can't wait!

I thought that I remembered getting an email which looked like a newsletter. It had the schedule of events (subject to change) and some suggestions for what to wear/bring.


I know I got it but now you've all got me wondering if it came from my regional or my director or BC corporate.


Oh well - I guess as long as we know what's happening, and the information is correct - it really doesn't matter how it gets to us, right? LOL


Dora

My Director did send me that email too last year! I think they got it from Corporate and passed it on to those attending. Celebration last year came right after my Mother-in-law died. It was hard to leave my husband. That is why he is attending this year.
