~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Details:

Event:
This is a ‘Stampin’ Up! Style’ Regional Event. I hope that gives you an idea of what standards we are shooting for. We want to help you enjoy a wonderful day full of meeting new friends, stamping, learning, sharing, swapping, laughing, eating and more stamping.  We are planning lots of fun things for everyone, including but not limited to Main Stage Demonstrator presentations, showing new products from the Occasions Catalog, Sale-A-Bration tips, WOW projects, business ideas, display boards, fresh ideas, Make & Takes, a few surprises ... and more. You won’t want to miss this event. Make sure you bring your notebook, a pen and your camera so you can remember all the fun things we are going to share.

Location:
We will be meeting in the Community Hall of the Dunn Loring Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department located at 2148 Gallows Road, Dunn Loring, VA 22043

Parking:
There is plenty of free parking behind the fire station. Enter through the large double doors in the rear of the building.

Schedule:
8:15 – Doors Open, Name Tag and Welcome Bag pick up begins. Pick your seat, mingle and swap (general swaps or organized swaps)

9:00 – Event Begins so grab your seats

12:00 – (approximate time) Lunch is included in your registration fee

3:30 – The program ends at approximately this time. Now is the time to finish taking photos around the room, gather your things and say good-bye (sniffle, sniffle)

4:00 – the doors close and lock for clean up time                                         

Swapping:
The doors will open at 8:15 and this is the perfect time for swapping. This is an opportunity to meet new people, chat with other demos and pick up a few tips along the way. You are welcome to do general swapping or organized swapping. If you are going to organize a swap and would like me to publish the info for the rest of the group, just let me know. Please remember the main rule of only using current Stampin’ Up! products on your swap.

Registration:
Registration opens for current demonstrators on February 1, 2014. The Registration form information will be available at www.MyStampingFriends.blogspot.com on Saturday, February 1, 2014. This is a date change from the original plan. This is being done because January is a pending month.

If there are spots still available guests (over the age of 18) can register starting on February 13, 2014. Registration ends on March 1, 2014.

We have 125 seats available. If we sell 125 tickets I will start a waiting list. If more seats become available or if someone wants to transfer their ticket I can contact the people on the waiting list to see if they are still interested in attending.

When the doors open you will be able to pick up your name tag and goodie bag and there will be a basket at the check in desk for you to drop in your donated card for the display board and card contest.

Make sure to spread the word about this event. The more friends we get together, the more fun we’ll have. Use hashtag #NoVaStampingFriends on your social media to spread the word and get friends to join you, and when you share photos of the cards you’re bringing for the display boards or photos of your swaps. It makes us easier to find each other on social media.

Display Boards & Card Contest:
Do you want to show off some of your work? Do you want to get some fresh ideas? Bring in some full size cards that you’ve been working on (yes, you can bring in more than one card) and we’ll put them on our display boards. Please bring your full card in a clear envelope with your name and information on a post-it note on the back of the card. Several of these cards will be picked to be finalists in our card contest and the winners will be voted on by the attendees and prizes will be awarded. The cards on the display boards could be used for future events and will get donated to the Ronald McDonald House.

Lunch:
Lunch will be from a local restaurant. There will be water and lemonade available to attendees and there are soda vending machines on site.

·         A notebook and pen
