You may bring your lunch, or order from a local deli. A refrigerator and microwave are available for our use. We will try to have coffee and tea available.

Please bring a sweater for your comfort; you may also wish to bring a seat cushion.

If you have a travel iron, that is preferable.

Full payment is due by the meeting prior to the workshop; if payment is not made, we must make your seat available to another member.

2011 - 2012 Speakers and Workshops

We are very excited to present the 2011-12 Program Calendar.  If you have suggestions about speakers or programming for the future, please see us at the Programs table, across from membership.  The Program Committee is Becky Dieckmann and Lydia Andersen, co-chairs, ably assisted by Aleeda Crawley, JoAnn Lepore, and Betsy Vinegrad.  We welcome any members who would like to join us.  Please click on the links below for complete information.

Dinner with the Speaker
We normally have dinner with the speaker, starting 5:20 (perhaps 5:30) when possible.  This takes place at Empire Szechuan, 258 Main Street in Madison.  The restaurant is only a mile or so from our meeting location, on the same side of the street.  All members are invited to share some quality time with our dynamic speakers!  For directions, please click this link. Please click here to RSVP for dinner at Empire Szechuan or call Becky Dieckmann so we can let the restaurant know how many to expect. Be sure to put the month in the subject line!
