I have been thinking some more about this year's format of the convention 
which is clearly designed to make lace instruction available to people who work 
and may not want to expend an entire week of vacation on it. It is entirely 
possible that this will be successful and that there might be a higher proportion 
of younger, working people at the convention than previously. These people 
are often quite adept at using computers and have other desirable skills. Those 
local clubs whose members are exhausted from the clerical tasks associated 
with running their groups would be well-advised to attend the convention and cosy 
up to young computer adept attendees. A campaign of friendship inspired by 
self-interest may result in the young person offering to edit the newsletter or 
run spreadsheets on the Lace Day consignment business. Before long, she might 
be induced to be club secretary or chair some loathesome committee and those 
members of the club who have already served in these capacities can concentrate 
on making lace and offering advice.
