[Colorado-Talk] State Convention Save the Date!

Mon Sep 13 13:22:52 UTC 2021

Hello Anne this is Sandy president of Pueblo chapter. I know you wanted to talk to Lisa but I thought I would answer some of your question here. Renee and I are working on planning some crafting stuff for convention. We were talking about doing a crafting sale along with some kind of crafting room where we could teach other people different crafts. If you would like to be involved give Renee or myself an email. We would definitely like other ideas.
Thanks

Sandy Schleich

Before it is too late I would love to talk to you and/or Scott about the possibility of doing something artwise at convention this year. I was hoping to get the drift of what our parameters are, in this combo-world, before I came up with a proposal.

It was posted in the Blind Coloradoan Blog, but I thought I should get this out there again as we get ever closer to the deadlines to reserve hotel rooms at the Denver Marriott South by 10/8 and get registered for state convention before the rates go up after 10/15.
