The Delegation from Finland is Present!
So we woke up this morning and seeing as we had a little free time, the delegates decided to do some sight seeing. A group of us decided to have a picnic in Central Park and feed the ducks. While the ducks were disappointing, the people watching was fantastic.
After the sight seeing, we came back to the hotel to change for the Alumni formal gathering. The amazing R-MWC women of the New York Alumni Chapter organized the occasion at Kathy Brown’s apartment, an alum of 1976. The gathering was fantastic, with delicious finger foods and great conversation. A special thank you to the New York Alumni Chapter.
After the reception, we had our first committee sessions and Finland made themselves known. All of the committees set their agenda topic order for the week, as well as the speaker’s time limit. Many committees already started discussing their first topic. The delegates put themselves on the speaker’s list and three of our delegates gave great speeches. Everything went exceptionally well and the Head Delegates are VERY proud! In fact, we felt like mums at a kid’s sports’ game; running around trying to capture every speech and delegate in action. This really is going to be an exciting conference!
