Dear Convention Attendees,
At last, the moment you have been
patiently waiting for: The 2008 Convention Registration information!
Here you will find the class descriptions, supply list for each class,
teacher bios and other helpful information to get you to and around
La Quinta.
In order to register for the convention,
you MUST fill out the registration form and workshop selection form.
Be sure to choose only one workshop for each time slot (either A or
B), since they will be conducted in separate rooms. This year you can
register online using PayPal, or
you can register by
mail by sending the completed forms along with your check made payable
to IAMPETH to:
Kathy Saunders
1818 Kennedy Road
Webster, NY 14580
Please DO NOT use registered
or certified mail.
Saturday evening is our Annual Banquet
dinner. This is “the main event” to close the convention and is always
a very special evening that you don’t want to miss! If you will be attending,
please be sure to choose from the four meal choices on your registration
form.
Some other things to consider while
at the convention:
CLOTHING: It may be
hot outside, but the classrooms will still be chilly! Bring a sweatshirt
or sweater. Loose fitting cotton or other breathable materials will
keep you cool when heading over to Old Town La Quinta for lunch or dinner.
While the banquet is one of our more “dressed- up” events, I suggest
going “California Casual”. (That is no ties, guys!) And ladies, bring
a sweater or wrap just in case! And what trip to a resort would be complete
without a swimsuit!
VENDOR: John Neal, Bookseller
will be our vendor for the week, bringing with him all the items a penman
could wish for! You may want to consider placing a pre-order, which
John will have available for you to pick up at the convention. Their
website is www.johnnealbooks.com.
Their phone number is: 1-800-369-9598. If you place a pre-order please
do so by July 14 and be sure to tell them that it is for pick-up at
the IAMPETH convention.
SILENT AUCTION: This
is an important (and fun) fundraiser for IAMPETH! Any items of interest
to a penman are welcome. In the past we have had paper, books, tools,
books on tape, lights, jewelry, Ink wells, paint, inks, frames, note
cards, pens, points and the most sought after….original pieces of work!
Please help us to continue the tradition.
PIECES OF YOUR WORK FOR DISPLAY:
We always enjoy seeing what others have been working on. In this way
we continue to be sources of encouragement and inspiration to each other,
and hopefully to others who may learn of us through media coverage.
One last piece of business…or two.
Remember to participate in the evening presentations. We have put these
programs together in a less formal environment to enhance not only your
learning experience, but to help prepare you for “whatever may come
your way”.
And finally when you register, it’s
for the entire week. We don’t take partial registrations or registrations
“per class”. The fee you pay for the entire, information-packed week
is what you might pay elsewhere for just one workshop.
So fill out the forms and get ready
to bring a writing-quake to California!
