Actually, one of the things that will be happening at the CRLG's business meeting that morning (before the museum opens to the general public) is a presentation of a nice donation ($5,000) to the textile curator specifically for their lace collection. This was made possible from some of the proceeds of the IOLI convention held in Bethesda.
Hopefully, they won't turn down individual donations, especially since I have been unable to get even a single bookmark to contribute to their store via the CRLG drive (perhaps, in the future...), and feel bad about it.
Looking forward to seeing lots of folks at the museum in 3 days!
Does sound like it's going to be *great* fun. And Lauri's swanning it... sorry... flying in from Boston just for the event, should impress "the powers that be" no end :) Not to mention Devon, who's coming (also "from the North") in her "IOLI Museum Editor" persona...
As I remember it, it was Aurelia, who started all of this, some years ago, persevered and got the two "houses" (lacemakers and the Museum) to meet... So, thanks, Aurelia; perhaps you ought to be in Congress, waving your unifying wand... :)
