Well, I have to say, by the time we got to New York, the CB Crew had everything under control in record time! Arriving in NY on Saturday, three days after our trusty coordinators had already been surviving the tropic temperatures and forklift traffic of the Javits Center showroom for the National Stationery Show, we found the Checkerboard booth...12 booth spaces, mind you, all set up and looking great!

Hard work and efficiency were obviously in the air. We stayed out of their way filling the shelves with our albums, hanging frames, setting up curtains, vacuuming, straightening up...our tasks took only a few hours and we were let loose in NYC for the afternoon to do a little exploring/napping/eating before our dinner at Savor NY. Our "embassador of culinary treats" sure picks some great restaurants, researched and zagat'd to the max. Thank you, Karen!
