> Cowgirl boots and Stetson hats! Okay, it may be a bit uncomfortable
> for the men to wear the cowgirl boots, but do your best to gear up
> accordingly. This years conference theme, Cultivating Community
> speaks to a multitude of issues and concerns that TRIO Community as
> well as WESTOP as a whole, have, are and will face. In order to keep
> the community alive and well it takes grass roots planning
> communication and unselfish devotion. We the conference committee
> feel that in order to dig into the roots of such matters we must be
> in our most comfortable clothing possible especially since we will be
> facing 90 plus degree weather that is currently warming up Arizona
> for us.

> All of you who know me, knows that I have a different pair of tennis
> shoes for every day of the month plus an extra week and one days
> worth, just in case. I also love my jogging suits, baseball hats and
> back packs. All of which have been sitting un-worn for many, many,
> many months, since I decided to take that step into WESTOP's most
> challenging leadership role. Why, just today I found my white
> leather, orange trimmed, hidden lace, ankle cut, NYC-And One's. As I
> happily put them on, I though, hmmm... what better way to start my
> descent into my Past Presidency by being in my most comfortable
> clothing at my farewell conference. So, to all that will be
> attending the WESTOP 26th Annual conference in Tucson AZ. This
> tennis shoe is for you! Join me in being comfortable, leave that
> dress to impress frame of mind at home. Really now, I mean it, even
> for the banquet!
