Remember: the 4D Summer Meet will be held next weekend, August 18–19, 2012.
Clinics (and more) will be Saturday, August 18, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Issaquah. Layout Open Houses will be Sunday, August 19. Maps and directions to each Open House are only available at the Registration Desk on Saturday morning.
Saturday, August 18
We have a great line-up of local Clinicians scheduled for you with two simultaneous clinics so you always have a choice.
In addition, there will be a “Bring and Brag” Model Room where you can display your handiwork. Don’t come empty-handed! A. P. assessment will be available, if you choose. This is an easy way to earn yet another of those A.P. Certificates that you deserve.
Saturday begins with the 4D Board of Directors Meeting (open to all members) and ends with our required annual General Membership Meeting. A complete schedule will be posted here soon.
Snacks will be available in the lobby all day: coffee & pastry in the morning; snacks and sodas in the afternoon. Lunch is on your own, but there is a good restaurant on the premises.
Sunday, August 19
Sunday’s Open Houses will be at your own pace and choosing. You provide your own transportation.
Eight local layouts will open just for Summer Meet attendees on Sunday, mostly from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. (Times vary by host; see your Registration Packet for individual layout hours.)
More News Soon!
More information on layouts and clinicians will follow in the Digital Grab Iron soon. Stay tuned!
See you in Issaquah next Saturday, August 18, 2012!
