Here in the UK visitors are allowed to come to the annual general
meeting of The Lace Guild so I was surprised that visitors were not
allowed at the IOLI meeting (my friend was turned away too). Perhaps
it's a country difference in the rules governing such organizations?

When I went into the meeting room I explained to the people who greeted me
that I was a new member and would just like to sit in the back and observe,
that I was there mostly to keep my friend company.
I believe it's not a matter of secrecy.

While it was unfortunate that the situation happened, consider this. IOLI
stands for International Old Lacers, Incorporated. That last word has more
meaning then most of us give. After all we are just a group of people
getting together for making lace. But in fact the organization is required
