Autograph Exchange
Hampton Inn 2-4 pm Thursday August 4 Acquiring an autograph from friends, family and celebrities has been a tradition for hundreds of years. You may remember how exciting it was in school to pass around a yearbook for your friends to write something funny or sweet. Autographs can be as simple as signing your name and date or a complex as a custom poem or unique drawing. Join us for a casual Meet and Greet to sign each other’s Conference Books. A double antique style autograph page will be featured in this year’s book for the purpose of exchanging this time-honored tradition. Memorize your favorite 19th century short poem, practice a quick little drawing, create a funny quip or pack your favorite-colored ink pens to be able to autograph the other students' pages. |
