Hi Janice!
Surprise, Surprise!! I got my bulletin and my directory in the mail today, and
have enjoyed going through the information about convention!! It looks like
you've really got a great line-up of classes and teachers, and the Wednesday
excursions all look delightful. Now to just choose...
The change in the room rate is a wonderful bit of news!! Great job!!
Thanks for all of your hard work! I know you have already done a tremendous
amount of planning and organizing, and the fun is yet to begin. But your good
planning shows, and we thank you!!
See you in Rockford!
