I'm collating my scribbled notes while Dr. Kay already has a blog post. I'm just going to copy his blog.

Great info, great people.




(Randy and Val Hyde are very cool people. Don't let Randy know that you know.)

How much did it cost to attend that great event?

 

[The Great Oz]

$400.00. Or $800 if you don't have an association scholarship program, or $1,200 for non-members. Or $200 for CCINW members just getting into the third-day seminars.

Not for everyone, but for guys that have rug plants it's worth the money. Joe Appleby was there as a new member.

And where does that money go to?, just curious, not out to cry fowl..

Beer mostly, and a chipNdale dancer for Ruth's birthday.

What's left after they pay the bar tab is going for education, outreach, and member benefits. ARCS is doing presentations on in-plant rug cleaning and rug i.d. at the fall 'Experience' in Las Vegas and has also scheduled a guided tour of the San Francisco Antique Rug and Textile Show in mid October. Watch the ARCS Facebook page for details.
