It’s Thursday morning, March 13, and we are set and ready for everyone’s arrival at the 2008 SLC! Michigan BPA staff are meeting right now with Grand Rapids staff to go over final preparations and details, and registration packets are being prepared to be distributed, and having final quality control checks done before the chapters pick them up this evening.
While we’re waiting for everyone to get here, we thought we’d take a second to let you know what to expect from this blog in the coming days. Our goal in creating this blog is that it will allow parents and community members back home to keep up on what’s going on in Grand Rapids, and to really get a feel for what the SLC experience is like. At the same time, we hope those of you joining us at the conference will visit this blog often, share your experiences by commenting, and enjoy catching a glimpse behind the scenes of all the work that goes into the SLC.
This truly is a live blog, meaning that we’ll be discussing events as they happen. You’ll want to check back frequently, as there will be multiple posts throughout each day of the conference. Each morning, we’ll begin the day with a morning post outlining some of the exciting events in store for the day ahead, and giving you a chance to comment early in the day. This is our first year doing this, so we hope you’ll let us know how we’re doing in the comments.
