Hi Janice! Surprise, Surprise!! I got my bulletin and my directory in the mail today, and have enjoyed going through the information about convention!! It looks like you've really got a great line-up of classes and teachers, and the Wednesday excursions all look delightful. Now to just choose...
The change in the room rate is a wonderful bit of news!! Great job!! Thanks for all of your hard work! I know you have already done a tremendous amount of planning and organizing, and the fun is yet to begin. But your good planning shows, and we thank you!! See you in Rockford!
