[lace] IOLI Convention - Arachne Lunch
Dear Arlene, I am testing to see if you receive a copy of this letter from me directly, as well as a cc from Arachne. That would be 2 copies in your mail. I did not receive your original posting of the Arachne gathering, though I found it in the Arachne archive because Jane wrote to Arachne.. AOL and Yahoo are not on speaking terms, and that may be the answer. Just another example of how important it is for someone using an ISP other than those 2 to write a reply via Arachne, as Jane did. Jane, thank you. Perhaps other people had my experience, and will be at the Convention. Now they know to write to Arlene (address attached in a trimmed message from her). I will not be at convention. There were no needlelace classes, and no class that I would call "educational" (like Lace ID). I can manage an educational or needlelace class without having to go back to beginning bobbin lace and spending time practicing for a one-time class experience and unfinished lace to add to all the other unfinished lace examples being given shelf space here. I prefer a class experience that I can share later with Arachne and 9 other lace groups to which I belong. Add 2 embroidery guild memberships, and you can imagine what fun it is to receive newsletters and magazines from all these sources. Thank you, Arlene, for bringing our Arachne members together at the IOLI Convention. Everyone will have a lot of fun meeting each other.

[lace] IOLI Convention - Arachne lunch
Hello, all - As mentioned in a previous message, I am working on organizing a gathering for any interested Arachne members at the IOLI Convention in July. This will happen during the lunch time on Tuesday of that week In considering options for where we should gather for lunch, it would be really helpful to get at least some sense of how many might be there - a group of 10 is very different than a group of 30 :-)  Please email me if you are interested in coming.  You are not committing yourself to anything if something comes up - I just need some sense of numbers. I know many probably read my last message (or the message in the digest when it showed up) and thought, "oh, yes, I need to email her" and then promptly forgot.  :-)  Trust me, I've organized enough things this way in my life to know that it takes a few reminder postings by me to get folks to respond.  I sent a reply email to everyone I received an email from.  If for some reason you emailed me and did not get a response back from me, please do try again.  I'm also a little concerned that my message did not show up in the Archives.  (Something I've noticed in the past - my messages sometimes show up in the Archives and sometimes do not and I always use the lace@arachne.com address and not the one that I know we are not supposed to use.) Also, if anyone can give any suggestions on how to avoid random gobble-goock (i.e. extra characters, etc.) from showing up where I've typed spaces and returns in my messages (as what came through last time), I would appreciate it!  I've tried looking for a "plain text" option here on Yahoo Message and can't find anything.  This doesn't happen when I use this email for anything else. Looking forward to hearing from many of you and seeing/meeting many of you in July!Arlene in njabcohen1...@yahoo.com - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] IOLI Convention Arachne lunch
Hey Janice! We will be spending a lot of time together at convention as I am in the same classes! Yes, we are excited to be able to provide an affordable option for the Arachne lunch. (and similarily for OIDFA on Friday). You will be able to select your concessions and take them to section of the ballroom. [Like at many hotels a large ballroom can be subdivided into smaller sections and this is what we will do to accomodate our large gathering vs smaller group.] You didn't hear it from me, but I also see no reason why you couldn't bring in your own brown bag lunch. I plan to contribute some prizes, assuming I can find my sewing machine! Looking forward to welcoming everyone to Iowa in just a couple of months!

Re: [lace] IOLI Convention Arachne lunch
Thanks, Janice, for telling us about the Arachne lunch at the 2015 IOLI convention. Yes, It will be on Tuesday, July 28th. By separately purchasing our food at the hotel concession, we can enjoy a meal together at the convention hotel at a lower cost than having a formal luncheon. Please bring items for the free raffle if you wish. The more prizes we have, the more winners there will be! I am happy to be taking Louise Colgan's Milanese Lace class morning and afternoon. As a member of the Doris Southard Lace Guild, the local co-host group, I look forward to welcoming fellow Arachnes to Coralville, Iowa!
