Convention:
Conventions are held every other year (even number
years) in June or July, with all members and
guests welcome. A typical convention runs from Friday
morning through Sunday afternoon, with pre- and
post-convention events scheduled depending on location.
Friday and Saturday programs include presentations by
members - humorous, technical and historical, with
breaks for shopping at member dealer tables. There are
usually optional evening special events as well. Sunday
begins with a short business meeting followed by the
auction. Members may auction lanterns, slides and
associated paraphernalia. A percentage of the sale is
given to the Society to help offset convention expenses.
The convention location varies around the country to
reach the greatest number of members, but is dependent
upon a volunteer member in the area to chair the
convention. The location is determined during the Sunday
morning business meeting. Members and guests are welcome
to present at conventions; the convention chairperson
develops the schedule several months prior to the
convention.
Anyone interested in following MLS activities via our
monthly email newsletter, please send me an email and I
will add you to our distribution list.
