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.
