Miscellaneous Information

OTHER INFORMATION:

·      Carson Springs Conference Center does not permit alcoholic beverages or smoking on the premises.

·      After you have set-up your sewing area, if your sewing bags, etc. do not fit under your table, we ask that you put them up in your room.  This is for everyone’s safety and comfort.

·      Please be courteous to others, especially at shared stations.  Do not leave your items unattended at ironing and cutting stations.  Do not “hog” space at these stations.
