CLEVELAND, May 4 — The registration deadline for the upcoming International Western Convention (IWC) in Tacoma, Wash., has been extended to May 11.
David Beech and the members of BLET Division 238 in Tacoma are hosting the 67th annual IWC from May 20-24, 2007.
To take advantage of the group rate negotiated by the IWC at the Sheraton Tacoma Hotel, members must make reservations by May 11.
“We have many exciting attractions planned for this event,” said Brother Beech, who is Local Chairman of Division 238.
Scheduled events for the 2007 IWC include a dinner cruise on Commencement Bay, the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train with a tour of the Columbia Winery in Woodinville, Wash., and a family tour of Tacoma with stops at the Washington State History Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, and the Point Defiance Zoo.

Education and training is a large portion of any BLET regional meeting, and the 2007 IWC will offer classes for local chairmen, secretary-treasurers, division presidents, legislative representatives, and more.
