[Killietalk] greeting group

["Curtis Smith" <cskillies at hotmail_com>]

I think there's a lot of merit in Lee's suggestion.   I, for one, would 
gladly volunteer to greet and steer first time attendees.   Such members 
could work in conjuntion with the registration table and meet "first-time" 
attendees when they register.   Once they are introduced and on speaking 
terms with several members, the greeters couyld return to the registration 
table to pick up another first-timer.

I think there may be merit in reserving a space or two at each banquet table 
for these members as well.

By the way, I observed Dr. Specht on Friday taking the time to speak at 
length with each person that registered.  And, they did have special 
markings on their name tag.   You can't blame Christina for not introducing 
them to others as she was a first-time attendee too and didn't know we 
rogues until later.   The Florida group had their act together as the 
pre-registered members had their bags of materials lined up, even with the 
numbered auction plate inside.   I think I did offend Christina by calling 
her the "bag lady", but it was all in fun pretty lady and no harm intended!

I especially sought out Lisa as I knew she was coming and I also knew this 
was her first time.   Hopefully I introduced her to all the right people and 
even ate breakfast with her once.   By the way, I still owe her a cup of 
coffee!   I looked for Loraine but never saw her.
