Call In for Open Classes
There are changes, please read carefully!

For those of you who received less than 16 hours during the assignment process, you will be able to call in starting January 2. Please call Wednesday evenings between 7 pm and 9 pm (Eastern time) or Saturdays between 9am-1 pm (Eastern time). We will try to be available on Saturdays and Wed. evenings when possible. People with more than 16 hours can call starting on January 27, Wednesdays and Saturdays.
This list of open classes changes every day as more people sign up and we get notified that people have dropped assigned classes. If you are looking for a specific class, you might want to check this list. The live list is online here

Click on the link Available Classes

You are not able to drop one class to sign up for another one. Our teachers have committed to teaching and it wouldn't be fair for them to “trade around” classes.

When you call please be prepared to ask for your choices.

    Be prepared with:
  • Your member number
  • Your choices
  • Be on your computer looking at the open list
  • Your brochure handy in case your first choice is no longer available

The phone numbers are:
Brenda 919-649-6905 (not available Jan. 13 or Jan. 23)
Andria 919-468-6485 (not available Jan. 6)


Brochure Corrections: updated 12/21/09

You can still sign up for convention! You can use the online page to pay your registration fee, or you can mail it in (If you mail in, please include multiple choices.) You can no longer use the website to choose your classes. After you have paid your registration, you can:

JoAnn Kelly Catsos Snowflake Bowl listed in brochure as Saturday and Sunday, SA1216 and SU1216
is changed to Friday 9:00 - 4:00, Saturday 9:00 - 4:00 The correct number is FR1216 and SA1216

When you register online for any 2 day class you will only choose the 1st day and the 2nd day will automatically be included for you. On the paper form you can list a 2 day class in 1 space. For example FRSA1216

The website allows you to input 20 choices. 16 are for class choices and the other 4 are for seminars or minibonuses.

There is not a way on the registration site to limit how many hours you get assigned, but you can get removed from classes, if you get assigned more than you want.
Extra Hours (beyond the 16 provided for in your registration) are $3 each hour.

Convention is held at the Sheraton Imperial Convention Center in Durham, NC. This is a wonderful, self-contained facility. Everything is under one roof, and you will find it a wonderful way to convention! Book your rooms early, as they do fill!

If you want to read more about convention, here is a little more information. See the latest copy of the Reeder's Report, our quarterly newsletter, for more convention information, and of course, our convention brochure! These are available to members, and are mailed in November.
