Current membership provides 4 issues of a very well edited Bulletin and the chance to attend a wonderful international Congress next summer in Prague, Czech Republic. The Congress will be held July 16-18, 2004.. Classes in Czech lace will be available before the Congress and various tours to inclulde the country's lace centers will be available in the days following the Congress. Dues in the US are $35 a year. In Euope, 29 Euros and outside Europ, 32 Euros US members pay $35. I am happy to provide email addresses of country Council members.
