For Those Attending 1/23/11 Jewelry Camp
Good Afternoon,
With Sunday just around the corner I wanted to send an email to everyone on our list to let you know that it isn't to late to register.
For those of you who have already registered, the program will begin at 9am Sunday morning, Building D, Katie Murphy Amphitheater. This is where you will receive the schedule for the day (this is also located on the website should you want to view it ahead of time) as well as check in. I look forward to seeing all the familiar faces as well as many news ones. I think my favorite part of Jewelry Camp is the fact that there are always many new friendships made, I know sounds a little corny! At the bottom of this page you will also find transportation directions. I would also like to make sure that everyone has my cell phone as well as Edward's. For directions, trust me, call him... 516-429-2622 for anything else you my contact myself, Sandy...631-377-9766
In the mean time should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me whether by phone or email at anytime. The office number is 631-471-1922 and my email is jewelrycamp@me.org.
