2015 Mid-Year Conference … See You There!
IF you’re a LOOM and you’ve
never attended an Annual
Convention or Mid-Year Conference before, you’re registration fees are FREE!

Members, your registration
fees have been reduced to just
$5.00!
Please join us in Pasco March
19-22nd to meet, greet and interact with our official visitors Director General Scott Hart and

RESERVATIONS BY
CALLING THE RED
LION 509-547-0701. AND
YOU HAVE UNTIL
MARCH 6TH TO PREREGISTER FOR CONFERENCE BY MAIL …
OR YOU MAY REGISTER
ON SITE STARTING ON
THURSDAY 3/19.
Bring Us Your
Change for
Mooseheart!!!
At Mid
Year Conference we
are asking
everyone
to bring
their
change
that has
been collecting in a
jar, basket,
cup holder in your car (that is
where I drop it). Wherever you
have it, bag it up and bring it
with you. As someone said
when I mentioned this idea, if
everyone that attends the conference would bring $5.00 in
change we would really help
make a dent in what is needed.
There will be a table in the
foyer with the jar and a bell to
ring when someone puts the
change in the jar indicating that
“school is about to start”. Let’s
have fun and make CHANGE
FOR MOOSEHEART from
WSNIMA.
