      Hi Vera, last year it was during the opening banquet, and that’s how I see it in the National Seminar Guidelines. Maybe @celeste-chalasani can provide a more specific answer.

      I’m sorry, I just re-read your question and realized I answered too fast and not what you asked, since you are already registered. At the moment we don’t have Discussion groups for lightning rounds.

    Last month I started teaching Winter Lace at Valley Quail. So far so good. On 9/28 is the actual class. Fingers crossed all the classes I have had with Terri Bay payoff. She is SUCH an awesome teacher, and so supportive. Thank you Terri, cannot wait to see you next July at the GPR Seminar for 3 more classes 😉
