37^th ANNUAL HCA CONVENTION

“HCA Salutes Our Armed Services”
                                            by Amy Jo Jones

Deep in the Heisey Museum’s secret bunker, a general and his dedicated staff meet monthly (and in cyberspace in the interim) to lay out plans for the arrival of the HCA forces in June.  The Plan is being sketched out, events coordinated, agendas made. 

So, are there any definite plans which could be leaked?  A little recon would tell you the seminars on tap include “Heisey in the War Years” and “Eva Zeisel” by Sharon Orienter.  And those are just for starters.  More programs are pending.

Forces need nourishing and that will happen right off the bat Wednesday evening at the mess tent on the museum grounds.  The traditional Cookout/Meet the Candidates  will happen between there and the museum.  Don’t miss that 60-foot parachute! 

Pack your duffel bags with homemade treats for the R&R Hospitality Center at the museum, glass items for the ID Session (they can’t possibly know everything, can they?), and an item or two for the blind/silent auction.  Plan to include a couple pairs of shoes in which to trek through the aisles of the sparkling glass show - reconnoitering throughout to find that special piece before anyone else.

Of course you will be expected to show at Commander’s Call on Friday morning at 08:00.  As the most important event of the convention, the Annual Meeting is the time we convene as a membership to hear the president’s address, elect directors to help steer us into the future and to listen to our study clubs reports.  No going AWOL permitted!

So listen up HCA!  Be there.  That is an order.
