DAR State Conference 2012

This past weekend was the Oregon State Conference of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This year's location was the CH2M Alumni Center in Corvallis, with hotel accommodations at the Hilton Garden Inn. It was a very busy, and tiring weekend, but I really enjoyed it. I think this year things were less stressful. I paged again this year, and was much more comfortable doing it. It helps that I know more people after attending quarterly Board of Management Meetings. One big change for me this year was the hotel. I opted to share my room with another page. C is a new member (she joined in December) and this was her first state conference. Rooming with strangers (okay, we weren't strangers for long) can be difficult. And it's a trade off sometimes if saving money is with dealing with someone you don't know. Happily, this C and I get along well. And since we're both kind of enthusiastic about DAR and our projects, I'm sure we'll be crossing paths fairly often. Next year's state conference will be a big deal. Our (national) President General, Merry Ann T. Wright, will make her official visit to Oregon.
