CNCH 2008 UPDATE
You may have missed the early bird registration deadline, but there is still time to register for conference in May.
Check the CNCH web site for class availability. And there is still time to enter one of the many galleries - with so many categories your work will fit in one of them! Entry forms, including a photo or drawing, must be received by April 1st. The work itself will be delivered on Friday, May 2nd. Gallery descriptions and entry forms can be found on the web.
If you don't have computer access, call a computer-savvy guild member or one of the guild officers. We encourage weavers at all levels to enter and show your work.
You have until April 4th to make hotel reservations at the conference special rate of $109 per night. After that date the rate goes up by a whopping $60! Information at www.sacramento.doubletree.com. Our group/convention code is CNC
We are looking for people willing to help with our public demonstration, Sunday 1:30 - 2pm. Check your seminar schedule and let Barbara Nitzberg know if you can help. Anyone who took "homework" with them from our Fill-the-Gap workshop with Cheryl Swanson, please bring your started braids to the April meeting. We need as many as possible for the demonstration.
Jane Radcliffe is looking for a roommate for the conference. See her at the meeting or e-mail jradcli-AT-mystudybuddy.org
Special Sample Service
The last day for submitting samples is April 5th, at the Loom and Shuttle meeting. See your work on the boards in the Sample Service booth at CNCH and get priority in line Sunday morning when the samples go on sale. Sue needs help with organizing and placing samples on the boards after the meeting. If we run out of time to use the meeting room then we can meet at her house, where she will provide lunch.
