Hi Barbara,
The address on this post is for the Fraternal Order of Eagles or Eagles Club. Elks lodge in Lancaster is a different address. I just wanted to make sure I have the right one so I can correct it on facebook if I need to. Thanks!

Hi Cheryl -

Have checked with Maxine (I just cut and pasted info from her flyer)

The address is correct: 1936 East Main St, Lancaster, Ohio

You are correct it is the EAGLES LODGE - not the Elks.

Thanks for catching the error. All further info will be corrected.

Looking forward to a very educational day - If we have a good turnout - may try a show somewhere later if anyone is interested?

Probably would have went to this had I not already bought tickets to fly to CA for the Annual Meeting. Never been to CA before and looking forward to meeting some of the people out there. Looks like most topics will be about the same.
 
Anyone from my area planning to go to this who might want to car pool? It's looking like I won't have to be in Buffalo that weekend and I'd LOVE to go.
 
Sorry I posted - but then realized I was thinking the Claim Show and not ECBC Seminar - two different things - lol!

Staying at the Econo Lodge, 316 Emma St., Findlay, OH. Something like $45 per night before taxes/fees?
 
Maxine says things are coming together well for the seminar.

Don’t miss out - get your reservations in now. This will be an education packed day….well worth the effort to come.

Lots of hands on training under the show lights and interesting topics to listen to.

Bring all your questions for the Q & A with the judges and the instructors. This part will last as long as you want to stay.
A good way to learn is to get view points from others.

Have a door prize to donate? Everyone likes to win something….bring it along.

Any questions? – let us know.
