1981 SHOW - "EARTH'S TREASURES" Our show was magnificent! Compliments came flowing from every quarter--dealers demonstrators, guests and our own m~mbers. Gue~ts w~o came as a matter of courtesy to the~r fr~ends and planning to stay only a sho:-t time, stayed for hours, then came back aga~n the next day. This was repeated time and time again. Guests who had never been to a gem show were overwhelmed! They cou~dn't believe their eyes! They had no ~dea a gem show could be so beautiful. Dealers who had been less than ent~usias~ic about a three-day show, plus hav~ng ch~ldren on Friday, seemed to change like night into day. Many dealers said they sold more on Friday than they had on Saturday in previous years. They were amazed! They were so busy the three days they could hardly wait for the five o'clock bell to ring on Sunday. They were shedding tears of delight I We were happy, too, desr dealer friends! We cannot say enough for the loyal members who served on the show committee, They g~ve so generously of their knowledge, t~me and yes, personal funds, to make this show come off so smoothly. Eleven months of ~acrifice for the good of our society. Don t let anyone tell you that people don't care about making our society click. They do! They did! It was thrilling to see so manyof,'oul' members pitch in and help with the hard work and long hours that are necessary to complete such a big project. Thank you, show committee chairmen. It was a pleasure working with such a fine group of people. Thank you fellow members. Without your help and support there would have been no shawl
