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:
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!
