Registration closes September 27. 

Deadline for ordering wood is September 1.

 Lise’s beautiful project is painted on a lovely Tine turned by Larry Pickett. 

You may choose to add the tine ($90) to your registration fee.  For those on a tight budget, you may bring  your own wood).   The tine Larry has created is 12.25 inches in diameter and 9.5” tall-with handles.  The container without the top is 9 inches in diameter, 4.25 inches tall and 28 inches around.

This wood must be ordered in the registration form and paid for by September 1; but, you can choose to bring in your own wood.  If you bring your own wood, you might try finding a tine perhaps on Etsy.  IF you decide to bring your own wood,  Lise will provide suggestions for adapting her design to various shapes.

Optional  Sip & Paint class - $25

There is an optional Sip and Paint class on Thurs. Oct. 23 from 3-5:30pm.  Lise will do a fun project that will incorporate her style of landscape and should be able to be completed  during the class.

Saturday Banquet, Drinks, Lunches
This year, the banquet meal will be served buffet-stye with an Italian theme, and will include ceasar, caprese and pasta salads; seared chicken breast, beef ravioli, ahi tuna, potatoes and dessert. (let us know of any dietary requirements.) 
Your banquet is included in the basic convention fee, but you can bring a guest to the banquet for an additional $73 per guest.

We also must meet a food and beverage minimum. At the banquet, there will be a designated bartender in the Bistro (adjacent to the patio where the banquet will be held) who will keep track of all beverages purchased by CRA so that those purchases can be applied to our food and beverage minimum.

In addition, there is an option each day to purchase a Bistro lunch. The menu has several good choices and has the added advantage of convenience. We may order up to 20 of these Bistro lunches each day. The price is $33.13 which includes meal, beverage, tax and gratuity. The Bistro lunches will also apply to our food and beverage minimum so we encourage people to try them at least once. Order forms will be available each morning for lunch that day, and must be turned in by 9:30am.

What to Bring

This year, we will all be together in one classroom and we will all be painting in acrylics.  Because our venue is a bit more “intimate”, we encourage everyone to register as early as possible to secure your place.  If we reach capacity, we will begin a waitlist.

The registration fee does not fully cover the total cost of putting on our conventions.  Especially this year, with escalating costs, we need your help.  We hope everyone will purchase raffle tickets for the beautiful treasures that will be on display.  There will also be donated items for sale and a trade floor where members may bring items that they wish to sell (CRA gets a commission).  See Joyce Field’s article for details.

One word about the weather. The temperature during the day should be warm (possibly hot).  The classroom will be airconditioned so it’s always a good idea to have a sweater handy.  The nights cool down considerably, so if you want to make the short walk to shops and traditional restaurants of historic Old Town, that sweater may also come in handy.  It may still be pool weather so bring your suit if you might want to take a dip or use the spa.

We can’t wait to welcome you—and the spirits of our rosemaling ancestors—to our 2025 Convention.  See you in October!
