Jordan unfortunately is unable to attend the Saturday evening Awards Banquet, so her pin was awarded on the bus after a tour of architecture and important artistic venues in Cincinnati.(Which makes for a good future Phi Beta trivia question!)

National Council Preparing for Convention
National Council arrived in Cincinnati this afternoon to finish getting ready for Convention.
We took a break to join some other members for dinner at a local restaurant. And since it's National Ice Cream Day, we had to stop at Graeter's - a local ice cream joint.
Then it was back to the work of finalizing paper work and agenda items.
We're looking forward to seeing everyone at the opening reception Thursday night @ 7pm. You can keep up with all of the Convention happenings right here on the Official Phi Beta blog. We'll have more photos & videos posted on our Facebook Event Page.

Jewelry Sale!
Phi Beta's jewelry prices are going up immediately after Convention. Since many people choose to purchase jewelry (for themselves and as gifts for fellow members) during Convention, we've decided to hold off on the price increase until July 19. If you've been considering a jewelry purchase, now is the time to make it and save!
You can browse all available jewelry at phibeta.com
Stay Tuned for Convention Updates!
Phi Beta is celebrating 98 years at our 2010 National Convention!
