    Hi all, I am so excited to meet everyone at the Orchid dinner! I'm
    sure many of you know the feeling of frustration when talking to your
    (non jeweler) significant other about some exciting new technique
    you've learned or how happy you are about a new piece you've made and
    his/her eyes glass over as the technical terms start flowing from
    your lips. I always look forward to meeting other jewelers whose eyes
    get big with excitement and they have a look of understanding when I
    start talking "tech". 

    Does anyone go rockhounding while in Tucson? I managed to find a
    place three hours away in Lourdsburg, NM that had some interesting
    specimens, but I'd rather stick to some place a little closer to
    Tucson. I'd really like to find a place that has Turquoise veined
    rocks. 

    Finally, some of you may remember that I was offering rooms in a 3 br
    townhouse on West Grant (approx 3/4 mile from the Rodeway show) and
    many have taken me up on that. I still have a spot or two. Two
    bedrooms available for 1st period (Jan 28th - Feb 1st), full for 2nd
    period (Feb 2nd - Feb 6th) and one bedroom available for 3rd period
    (Feb 7th -Feb 12th). If anyone has not yet booked a hotel (good luck)
    let me know (email me privately at maryamalia AT aol.com) and I'll send
    you all the info. The cost is the same as staying in a nice
    hotel......but I'll be providing breakfast every morning and hosting
    a jeweler's only cocktail party during each period in addition to
    having many books, magazines and videos on the jewelry trade
    available for your reference during your stay. For those who have
    never been to Tucson, I will also be transporting you to the shows,
    showing you where to find good buys, and answering any questions you
    might have along the way. 

    I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone at the Orchid dinner! 

Cheers,
Polly Spencer
