Dear Lacemakers, I am going to try to clarify the situation as I believe it to be. If I am wrong, Greet Rome (an extremely busy woman) is a member of Arachne and will write to us. English is not her first or second language, so please be patient. Jennifer McNitt wrote asking about this event. Nancy Neff provided some information. What you may have missed on Arachne was information contained within a memo dated 4/28/17 from Greet Rome, the Lier Lace expert. Greet is a personal friend of mine. She has been working on this lace event for 4 years. If anyone wishes to write directly to me, I could start a list of interested Arachne members, by nation. Then we can correspond amongst ourselves more securely, without making our travel plans public on a site like Arachne. We keep asking and asking correspondents for their location because it helps us form a more precise reply and it was one of the requirements when Arachne was established. Please do this when writing to me. I am much more private than Face Book, and wish you all to be as safe as possible when making plans. Do not share my contact info with Face Book. Greet is a member and will take care of that. There is a reason you are a member of Arachne. We take care of each other on a personal level. I've put the 4/18/17 excerpt from Greet Rome below this string of comments, removing the Lier info. Greet now has a co-chairman to help shoulder the load. You all need to know an international meeting is much more work than the usual lace conventions. It requires several years of pre-arrangements with accommodations, tour coaches, facilities to be visited and used for meetings and special events, meal reservations when we are on the road, and engaging artists and volunteers who will make this a pleasurable experience. Bear in mind that each nation has different "laws" to obey when setting up such an event. **Greet gives a date of 1.6.2017. In Europe, this may mean 1st of June, 2017 for "Subscription". Please keep the address given in the subject line and try it after June 1st. At present, you cannot get past the main page. There are icons for different languages for when you are able to use this site. Capable people have to be available to respond to you in your language when this is activated.** If you know someone who has complained she does not receive my letters sent via AOL, please share this with her. It will show up in the Arachne archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/arachne.com/index.html Jeri Ames in Maine USA Lace and Embroidery Resource Center -------------------------------------------------------- >From Nancy Neff, Connecticut USA May 15, 2017 There's a facebook group for the conference at https://www.facebook.com/WLCB2018/, but the recent postings don't seem to have anything to do with the conference. Maybe you could message the admins for information? The most recent thing Google comes up with for the conference is August 2016, the initial announcement of it. ----------------------------------------------------------- On Mon, May 15, 2017 at 12:21 PM, Jennifer McNitt <jenmcn...@yahoo.com> wrote:
It has been a while since I have seen any new information about this conference, so I wanted to see if anyone from the US has made plans to attend this event yet. I'm mostly interested in the seminar and tour days but information has been slow coming it seems since it was originally announced. ------------------------------------------------------------ From: greet.r...@gmail.com To: nancy.a.n...@gmail.com, d...@hotmail.com, jbl...@sbcglobal.net CC: lace@arachne.com Sent: 4/28/2017 3:58:22 A.M.
