See this page for the Village Chandler Guild First Continental Congress Event Agenda and Delegate Participation Guide.
In order for you to start making travel plans, the dates have been set for our first Continental Congress. We will have an optional social gathering on August 22, 2003 from 6pm until 11pm. The actual proceedings of the Congress will take place from 8:30 AM Saturday until 6:00 PM Sunday on August 23rd and 24th, 2003.
Lodging can be booked with the special Village Chandler Guild discount room rate at the Crowne Plaza Five Seasons Hotel. Phone # is 319-363-8161. The Crowne Plaza is downtown, 10 blocks from the Village Chandler building. This is a pleasant walk during the summer months.
This will be one of the most important events that will ever take place in the development of The Village Chandler Guild. We will have key work sessions on the day to day skills of operating a successful candle business. At the Congress we will determine, as a community, the purpose and objectives of the Guild. This Congress will also be where we have our first board election as we take the Village Chandler Guild from a growing concept to a productive reality.
We look forward to the involvement of all Village Chandlers in this important process.
