There is a meeting of the Fan Association of North America in Chicago, April 26 to 30, 2017. Here is part of the announcement I found in the April issue of Maine Antique Digest (monthly newspaper). "Highlights....will include viewing exquisite fans from the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Field Museum, and the Chicago History Museum. Lectures on Imperial China treasures, ivory and the law, and lace fans will be held, and the use of fans in Tai Chi will be demonstrated. "In addition, a members' fan sale will offer extraordinary antique fans, along with other unusual and interesting fans in all price ranges, which will be followed by a fun charity fan auction to benefit the organization's educational outreach efforts. "New members may join by visiting Fan Association of N.A.'s website: http://fanassociation.org. This organization also has a Facebook at "Hand Fan Collectors"." This event might be of interest to lacemakers in the Chicago area, or perhaps someone would like to write about it for a Chicago area guild's newsletter. Could it be that someone who is a member of International Organization of Lace will be the speaker??? Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center
