Re: [lace] booking teachers

Indeed, as Sue M. wrote, it is very much due to venue availability! Especially the dates for our 2015 convention. If you recall only 2 years ago in Salt Lake City there was NO group planning for 2015. We initially thought to hold the convention at a newly opened facility with a wide open schedule

RE: [lace] booking teachers
