A
centre of action
at FAC 2009 will
be the Hospitality
Suite where
Lisa Corr and her
team of volunteers
will be busy looking
after your needs.
Our Hospitality
Committee is already
at work putting
their plans in place
to ensure that every
FAC 2009 delegate
has an absolutely
fabulous conference
experience. From
their large and
brightly lit Suite
on the second floor
of the Residence
Building, the volunteers
will make sure that
you have a comfortable
spot between classes
to meet other delegates
and relax over a
cup of tea and a
home baked sweet.
The home baking
comes from local
doll and fibre artists.
The volunteers will
also be happy to
help you find your
way around the Algonquin
College campus,
provide information
on local suppliers
of doll making materials
as well as local
tourist attractions
and events. There
will be copies of
maps of Algonquin
campus and the Ottawa
region available,
as well.
If
you feel like
creating while
you chat and enjoy
a break, there
will be pin dolls
and materials
for small pieces
of handwork you
might like to
work on. FAC’s
Creative
Play Station,
where there will
be more opportunities
to play on Friday
and Saturday evenings,
will be located
in an alcove just
off the Hospitality
Suite. There will
be some amazing
demonstrations
and more opportunities
to experiment
with lots of new
materials and
techniques, some
of which you will
have seen demonstrated
on Thursday night.
There is no need
to register for
these activities,
just drop in.
The
Hospitality Team
has a few suggestions
to offer for your
comfort and convenience.
The Residence
Suites are not
equipped with
hair dryers, kettles
or alarm clocks
(they do have
wake-up calls,
however), so you
might want to
bring these things.
Since the classrooms
are in a separate
building, you
may want to bring
a pair of comfortable
shoes and, perhaps,
a carrier with
wheels if you
are taking a course
requiring a sewing
machine or other
heavy items. Each
Suite has a microwave,
refrigerator,
table and two
chairs, and a
private three
piece bath.
If
you wish to share
a suite with another
delegate (don’t
forget that for
$82.45, taxes
included, each
Suite has two
separate bedrooms),
check off the
appropriate box
on your
Accommodation
Registration
Form, If you don’t
already have a
“suite mate”,
House Mother Julie Brais will
be happy to match
you up with another
FAC delegate who
wants to share.
