Some colleges do conferences, and some don't. The Pacific Northwest (USA)
regional conferences have been held at colleges.
Many mid-western colleges / universities would not hold summer conferences

Hi Arachnes,
I agree with Vasna about using schools for classes. Either school is in
session (most of the year) or it is not (potentially the summer) but at that
time, the staff is gone. They do not have food, or many services. Yes, there
would be classroom space, but we would need maintenance

I am responding to Bev's questions and some of Veronics's observations.
I was 40 when I went to my first convention in Bethesda. My kids were old
enough to take care of themselves and that was my only week of vacation for the
year (Scrooge for a boss). My family was very supportive. Since
Thanks for the info on the LACMA exhibits - I will definitely return to the
museum in the next month or so - the delight of living near LA. The
particular piece of Halas in the Arts and Crafts Exhibit was a collar of, I

I've just discovered that Pipers Silks are on holiday at present, and I have

Some universities have stopped renting to conventions and some never did.
However, there are still many that have a reduced enrollment during summer and
use conventions to make the summer school more cost-effective. I've been to
many scientific meetings at universities, as recently as 2003

Hi everyone
Yes, this is a most interesting thread - one should certainly never take
for granted the volunteer effort behind the lace
conventions/conferences/seminars/gathering-things.
The first task for any organizer is to identify the choices of 'where'
then eliminate by 'too' - such as too far

Dear Friends,
Got this great recipe yesterday from a friend when I phoned her to see
whether there was anything you could do with the water from boiling Corned
Beef. It was her Gt Grandmother's. I made it and it's lovely
MUSTARD SAUCE for Corned Beef.
In a bowl place:
- 1 dessertspoon mustard
WD-40 - I thought that you might like to know more about this
well-known product.
When you read the shower door part, try it. It's the first thing
that has cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it
works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your
stovetop...
I'm rolling on the floor. Having just left Oklahoma (yippee!!) I can

Noelene - I remember that! It was made into a film with Bruce Spence as
the groom. Don't remember who else was in it, but it was one of the
Australian movies from around the mid to late 70's I think (maybe 1980,
but no later).
