Just a few comments for those of you from this neck of the woods that have said you were planning on coming. We have a limited amount of free lodging available. In addition we are hoping that some of the citizens of Moose Jaw will come to the LSL BB and get to know what Letterheads are about. I know we already have an offer for billeting as well as an offer for camping space in their yard on the forum. I'm sure that more will follow as the date draws closer. Meals will be included with registration and there will be lots to see and do in addition to the meet projects which include 5 historical murals, the 1915 REO Speedwagon Firetruck gilding, and hand carved signs for the Burrowing Owl Centre. We are holding the meet at the Hillcrest Curling Club, (no there is no ice there in the summertime. :lol: ) which is also houses the golf club. All the projects will be done in the building. The murals will be painted on panels and installed when finished. It looks as though the city might be busy as it sounds as though the Cultural Capital Designation may be recognized that weekend. I know that the Snowbirds aerobatic team are doing a special performance on the 7th. They are really something to see. In any case we will try and get the hotel info posted on the LSL site ASAP as I think they may fill up.
There will be a shuttle service to and from the Regina Airport, and there are 4 hotels within two blocks of the HillCrest. It should be fairly comfortable to be "without wheels."
We really do hope the forum helps to make a connection between the Letterheads and locals. Billeting Letterheads makes the participating families feel like a part of the event and I know it was a wonderful experience for us in Lodi.
Even if you are not able to make the Moose Jaw meet, feel free to join us on the forum and take it in "virtually". We'd like for Moose Jaw to "get it".

Oh and if any of you who are coming want to do any demos, classes or teaching, please let me know. We'd love all the help we can get. :)
I believe there is no shame in failure. Rather, the shame lies in the loss of all the things that might have been, but for the fear of failure.
