COMFORTABLE SHOES for walking long distances. The

Convention Center is HUGE and you will walk many miles. Wear
PROFESSIONAL shoes once you arrive, and keep a tote bag with you to put the
comfy shoes in until needed again :-) There are many options in flat shoes these
days that look much nicer than sneakers. You can find something classy looking
at PayLess Shoes or possibly Target.

__

BANDAIDS (for sore feet from the shoes you forgot to break in) LOL

AWARDS NIGHT ATTIRE: Formal (short or long) gowns for 2 Nights

LEAVE EXTRA ROOM in your suitcase for items you may purchase. There are
many VENDORS at Seminar, but please be WISE and CAREFUL about not
spending money on business tools you may never use! People get over excited
and make buying mistakes. Take only the CASH you feel good about spending
and leave your credit cards in your hotel room safe so you are not tempted to go
overboard! HOLDING CLASSES grows your business. Not excessive marketing
tools.

HELP US MAINTAIN OUR CLASSY / PROFESSIONAL IMAGE:

(Mary Kay requested the following, and our NSD
will forever carry her wishes forward)

PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE: On the plane to and from Dallas please! Skirts

should not be shorter than 2 above your knees, and NO PANTS should be worn
to any of the scheduled events on this Agenda.

NO ALCOHOL:
Mary Kay (herself) requested that we not drink alcoholic beverages (at all) while
at Seminar.

NO SMOKING:
Inside of Convention Center. Outside in designated areas only.

GOLDEN RULE:
Treat others the way you would want to be treated every step of the way! With
every word, action, and reaction you are representing Mary Kay, Her Family, Our
Company, Our National Area, and EACH OTHER! Tip generously, be patient,
smile, and remember the invisible SIGN AROUND EVERY NECK that
reads..MAKE ME FEEL IMPORTANT !!
