WHEN DELEGATES arrive in Spokane for the Council 2 biennial convention the host committee hopes they will be pleasantly surprised.

From decorations to the dinner-dance Saturday night to the hospitality rooms, they want to make the convention one the attendees will remember.

“The convention host committee is motivated, excited and enthused,” says Gordon Smith, Staff Representative in Council 2’s Spokane office. “They want to show off our city and ensure everyone has a great time.”

Arranged around a theme that is planned to be a surprise, the decorations and festivities will radiate energy and excitement.
The committee held its first meeting in early March during the Legislative Weekend (see Page 4). Much of the preparatory work therefore already has been done.

All that remain are a couple of committee meetings to tie up the loose ends. Then it is matter of waiting for the convention to start on June 10 when the 15-member committee will swing into action.

As attendees arrive, committee members — all volunteers from Spokane-area Locals — will make sure delegates have all the materials they need and know of places to go and things to do in Spokane during their free time.

They have invited local elected officials to be there, too. After all, they want to spread the fun around a little.
