Dear SS2017 Attendee:
At two days out from our one-day conference at Lancaster Bible College,
we are delighted at a good roster of registrations, a prognosis of sunny
weather, and are looking forward to a great day of learning and
experience. A special thanks to those who've volunteered to come early
and help with setup. Just a few directions and instructions if you are among those joining us Saturday:
CONFERENCE LOCATION: The actual conference is being held in the Sebastian Academic Center of Lancaster Bible College, 901 Eden Rd., Lancaster, PA.
Turn right at first stop sign once you are on campus and drive past the
security booth, curling around to 2nd to last main parking area. You
will see the SAC building to your left. There will be signs directing
you to SAC and specifically to the LCW writers conference. Lancaster Bible College
is basically at the junction of Hwys 222 and 30, but access is turning
off 30 onto Hwy 272 (north of 30, not south), then turning right onto
Eden Rd., which will lead directly pass entrance to college. It is too
big to miss. However, if you'd like to check out both locations BEFORE
arrival, here is a link to LBC directions and campus map.
REGISTRATION/APPOINTMENT SIGN-UPS: Registration
opens at 7:45 a.m. Signups for faculty appointment are open at same
time, first come, first serve. Please be aware that you can sign up for
only ONE appointment before opening session. After first workshop, you
can sign up for a second if available. In afternoon, any remaining slots
can be reserved at will.
FOOD AND DRINK: If
you need caffeine to get your day started, be aware you may need to
bring your own; likewise water or other drinks. There IS a cafe onsite
at LBC, but it is in a different building and does not open before 8
a.m. There will be coffee and a wide variety of drinks available with
our lunch soup and salad buffet, but no refreshments at the actual
conference location. There is a drinking fountain, and if necessary, you
can walk over to the campus cafe.
BOOKSTORE: The
conference bookstore takes both credit card and check, so do plan for
some shopping. Marlene Bagnull's selection of writing craft titles is
easily one of the largest outside Amazon, so worth the browse.
And finally, if you have not yet registered,
pre-registration is now closed, but you are welcome to walk in Saturday
for the walk-in price of $65.
See you Saturday,
Jeanette Windle
President, Lancaster Christian Writers
