Great Lakes Log Crafters Association 25th Anniversary Meeting 2-3 May, 2008 Two Harbors, Minnesota Come one come all to help us celebrate our 25th Anniversary at Superior Shores Resort in Two Harbors, Minnesota. We’re looking for all the old timers and friends in sister associations to join our current members for what promises to be a memorable annual meeting. This meeting will be light on classroom sessions and heavy on hands-on craft sessions, with ample time for socializing and visiting with vendors. Evening social life will center around the bonfire on the Lake Superior shore at the resort. Mr. Allen Mackie will be receiving an award and speaking at our Saturday evening supper. A fund raiser log cabin will be built Monday-Thursday prior to the main conference that is both a hands-on building workshop and opportunity to support the association. If you want to participate we’ll cover room & board. We scheduled this conference at a time where most builders can attend and are making it affordable to all. See our website at www.gllca.org for conference registration information. This will be a grand meeting celebrating where we started from, where we’re at, and our vision for the future. Hope to see you there.
