Greetings!
Below are the committee assignments for the public fashion show in Vegas, A Fashionable Afternoon. The show takes place in the Tropical Ballroom and begins at 2:00 pm (following the fitting with models that will be from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm). Remember you will want to set-up your table before 11:00 am. It's just a table not a consumer show booth. We only have the potential for 200 guests so use the KISS system.
Lyla suggests we all provide a "favorite" sewing tip to encourage consumer to visit our tables. This can be something you create especially for this event or you can attach it to your catalog or other literature.
II am sure I have forgotten some things. Send me any questions.
Thanks,
Janet
