Big Stuff

I've been doing a lot of work lately to prepare for The Pittsburgh Perl Workshop. There are three of us running the event and only 11 days left until it is here. After a year and a half of planning, the event is almost here and things are crazy.

Registration has really picked up in the past week. We had intended to have a conference with 120 people. It looks like we may go over that number.

As soon as PPW winds down, we will need to determine if we want to do this again next year. It is all going to depend on how it turns out this time around.

The weekend after PPW is the October OA Service Weekend for Wagion Lodge #6. It is going to be a sad weekend for me because it will be my last weekend advising an Officer. I have already started my role as an adviser for the 2008 Section NE-4B conclave. And, starting with the new year, there will be a new Program Vice-Chief adviser. I will remain on as an Associate Lodge Adviser.

At the OA Weekend, my Conclave Chairman will be conducting interviews for all of his sub-committees. I hope we get a good turnout for the interviews. Having eager subcommittee chairman will make things run more smoothly. The October weekend is also when we will find out who our new lodge officers are.

This November, I'll be heading to Camp Alpine in Alpine, New York (This will be my second time heading to that camp). I will be attending the Northeast Region Section Officers Seminar along with the conclave 2008 youth chairman. We'll be getting training on all of the procedures for running a conclave.

Hopefully by the February banquet, we'll have the training and chairmen in place and we can start putting together an awesome conclave.
