Hi Liz,I am no longer involved with the convention committee, having spent the past five years as the Teacher Coordinator, so I am not in a position to find out about the hotel or the schedule.  Looking at the schedule online http://www.internationalorganizationoflace.org/Conventions/2016Conven tion/Schedule/schedule.html I can see a half hour on Tuesday evening after the meal and before the Tat Off where we could meet, or maybe before the Teacher Showcase.  I have no idea if packed lunches will be available this year and whether we can meet during that time and eat together. Maybe we have an Arachne member who is on the hosting guild and can help us out. How about it Barbara?  Look forward to seeing you again Liz.Janice <The Arachne Lunches at IOLI conventions is about the only place were a number of us can meet, and is always a lot of fun. I wonder if I ever met Linda there......! I hope to be at Convention this year, so I hope there is another Arachne meeting, where I can meet some of you, again!
Janice are you organizing one? (said hopefully!!)
