Hi Lacemakers, Shortly the IOLI Bulletin will be making its way in the mail, but as co-chair of the host group, Land of Lincoln Lacemakers, I wanted to tell you that we have discovered a boo-boo in the printed information about our convention in Rockford in August 2008.
The hotel rate is quoted as $135/night for up to four occupants of a bedroom. We realised today that the wrong figure was sent to IOLI, and that in fact the cost of a room is $123/night for up to four occupants. Thank goodness it is in your favor but please get the word out to all your lacemaking friends. I will take the blame as I sent in the info for the registration form. I looked at the hotel contract for the info, but did not turn the page to see the reduced rate that we negotiated!! The hotel started our bargaining at $154/night so I think we did good for our registrants. Remember to quote Land of Lincoln when you book your room to get the $123 rate and this year you will be able to send your registration in on Valentines Day. Hopefully we will be able to inform the teachers and registrants a little earlier so they can make travel plans. Our website will be up and running soon so you might get a sneak preview before the magazine arrives in your mailbox. I will put that announcement on Arachne as soon as I hear from my webmistress.
