WE'RE ROLLING OUT THE RED CARPET FOR IFA

You've received a mailing from IFA Headquarters telling you about the 1985 Convention, scheduled for September 22-25 at the Hyatt Regency in good old Knoxville, Tennessee. The program of roundtables, workshops and seminars is outstanding, guaranteeing you one of the best annual conventions in the history of the International Festivals Association. What a great opportunity to learn, to teach. ..to share ideas that can make our civic celebrations better, more productive, more enriching!

As hosts for the Convention, we're doing everything we can to make sure things go as smoothly as possible while you're in Knoxville. The meeting rooms are spacious and well-equipped at the Hyatt, so our business sessions can operate at maximum effectiveness. The function rooms for luncheons, receptions, the banquet, and the Pola Bear Party are excellent. And we think you'll really enjoy the two-level hospitality suite with views of lake, mountains, and downtown Knoxville.

About the Hyatt

The enclosed brochure tells you about this hotel ...and it's remarkably factual. It's about four blocks from downtown shopping, and sits in a park-like setting. Bring your swimming togs ... the pool's great. There's a reservation card enclosed in case you've lost the one in your IFA mailing. The $48 rate is a good one (about 30% below last year) so come in Friday, take in the Seminar on Saturday, and plan to stay through the Annual Banquet on Wednesday night (that's September 20-25).

Dress and Weather

Tha average daytime temperature in Knoxville for the last of September is 80°F. At night, it cools off to an average 60°F. Convention clothing should be casual (sportshirt and slacks for men, skirt and blouse for women). None of our good restaurants expect ties on the men, but we'd suggest sportcoats for the guys and a step up from convention garb for the gals. Bring one dressy outfit for the Annual Banquet, a lfdownhome" outfit and a sweater or jacket for "Knoxville Night," which includes an outdoor concert followed by fireworks. Page two IFA Convention September 21-25, 1985

Spouses Tours and a "Gatlinburq Getaway1'

Enclosed is a registration sheet for various tours, including a couple of spouses tours, a half-day Gatlinburg trip, and a couple of optional post-Convention tours. it would be helpful if you could indicate your interest in any of these as soon as possible and send us the sheet. That'll help us get things ready in advance.

On Sunday, September 22, we'll offer an Historic House Tour for spouses. We'll visit Blount Mansion, first frame house built west of the mountains. It's beautifully restored and furnished, and is an outstanding example of "frontier luxury." Ramsey House is about 20 years younger (1810), and is a two-story stone house with period furniture. Speedwell is younger still, dating from the Civil War period. It has beautiful grounds, and is truly a elegant home. (1:30 p.m. ti1 5:00 p.m. Cost: $8 per person including admissions, transportation, tour guides, etc.)

A Spouses' Shopping Spree is set for Monday, September 23. Knoxville has some really excellent factory out!et stores for clothinq (men, women, and children),. shoes, linens, etc. We'll take it all in on This tour. (1:30 p.m. tif 5:00 p.m. Free.)

The I1Gatlinburg Getaway1' is for delegates and spouses. We'll head for America's Most Popular Mountain Resort at 12 : 30 p .m . on Tuesday, September 23. You'll have a free afternoon in this tourist mecca to eat lunch, then browse the hundreds of shops or take a trip to Obergatlinburg, a popular ski resort high above Gatlinburg. ( 12: 30 p.m. ti1 6:00 p.m. $7 per person for bus transportation only.)

The Post-Convention Tours head east or west.. .take your choice. East takes you to Asheville to see fabulous Biltrnore House and Gardens, then on to Cherokee Indian Reservation, and through the Great Smokey Mountains National Park to Gatlinburg. West takes you to Nashville and Opryfand. No.. .you won't see the Grand Ote Opry, but the dazzling array of activities at Opryland will keep yw hopping. Reservations for the Post Canvention Tours must be made by September 9. Check the enclosed folder for all the details, and please send us the reservation sheet, fast, fast fast!

If you're flying In, pjease get us the information on the card enclosed in the 1 FA' mailing that lists airline, ftight number, arrival /departure times, etc. We'll pick you up at the Baggage Claims area at the airport and transport you to the Hyatt on Friday or Saturday (if you come in after that, you're on your own). We'll take you back Thursday, but not before. Page three I FA Convention Septgmer 21-25, 1985 ._-

If you're driving in, just look at the little map on the back of the Hyatt brochure. Off 1-40, take the Business Loop to the second exit, hang a right to the first traffic light, turn right at the next light and then turn right again and you'll see the Hyatt up on the hill.

Special Services

IFA will have its own convention center just off the main lobby down a few steps. The registration area will be there, along with a message center. We'll also have a desk for tours and flight information assistance, and another for local information (theatres, restaurants, beauty shops, etc. ) .

"Knoxville Night"

Get ready to turn it loose country style on Monday night, September 23! We'll use buses to travel the several blocks to the 1982 World's Fair Site. There we'll go to the U.S. Pavilion for some East Tennessee delicacies: "Lynchburg Lemonade" and country ham biscuits for starters, then barbequed ribs and chicken and all the fixin's, created by the restaurant that won the grand prize in the National Rib Cookoff competition. There'll be pickin' and singin' during dinner, and several booths where some of our fine artists and craftsmen will be exhibiting and demonstrating. Afterwards, we'll walk over to the Tennessee Amphitheatre for a live stage performance (don't be surprised if you hear your festival's name mentioned in one of the numbers). -rherelll be giant balloons (indoors and out) and a fireworks display that Southern International describes as "spectacular." (6: 30 p.m. to 10: 30 p.m. $1 5 per person all inclusive.)

Super Door Prizes

There'll be teriffic door prizes given out at various Convention functions, and you're invited to bring some of yours to add to the list ($15 or more retail value, please). And the famous IFA T-shirt Shop would be pleased to have you donate items from your festival that retail for less than $15 (the proceeds pay for the wine served at our Annual Banquet).

There are three really Grand Prizes to be drawn at our Annual Banquet:

1. A TRIP TO THE ROYAL TOURNAMENT

You and a guest will fly from New York to London roundtrip.. .free. While there, you'll have tickets in the Royal Box to see one of the world's great spectacles.. .the Royal Tournament. Accommodations, meals, and other expenses are not included, but what a great opportunity to visit Great Britian with your airfare roundtrip from New York paid for! Page four I FA Convention September 21-25, 1985

2. A FIESTA BOWL FLING

Get yourself and a guest out to Phoenix on December 26, and join the festivities as VIP's for the parties, the parade and, of course, the big game on New Year's Day. You pay for your transportation, and the Fiesta Bowl will take care of your accommodations and host you like the Very Important People you are.

3. A RENDEZVOUS IN ANCHORAGE

You and a guest provide your transportation to Anch~rage, and then get ready for the time of your lives. The Anchorage Fur Rendezous folks are fabulous hosts who'll take care of accommodations, food, and festivities at one of the most exciting of all civic celebrations.

Three super Grand Prizes, any of which would be great to win. But, like all our prize drawings, YOU MUST BE PRESENT-TO WIN. So make your plans to stay at the Convention through the Annual Banquet.. .and bring your dancing shoes, we've got a dance band for after the official business.

At Your Service

We're looking forward to hosting our friends and colleagues at the 1985 International Festivals Association Convention. We want every delegate to have the best possible opportunity to reap the educational benefits of an outstanding series of workshops, seminars, and roundtables. And we want every attendee to have a wonderful time in Knoxville.

The display area in the John Sevier Lobby is a spacious area, so you might want to show off your festival's printed material (brochures, posters, pins, etc.). If you're shipping them, please direct your package to the Hyatt, 500 Hill Avenue SE, Knoxville, TN 37915. Mark the package "IFA Convention'' so they'll know what it's for.

If there's a question that needs answering before you get here, please give us a call. During your stay, we'll have well-trained folks at the registration desk, the tour desk, and the Knoxville visitors desk. In addition, we'll have hosts and hostesses around all day to offer assistance.

So, come in to Knoxville on Friday, September 20. That way you can attend the Certified Festival Executive Seminar on Saturday, then be ready for one of the most rewarding IFA Conventions ever!

A bare hint of Autumn has filled the air and the energy of Fall is beginning to take hold. Since we last met on the Veranda, Ariel House hosted a cock- tail reception for Miss "Rodeo Texas," Carla Sterling. She will represent our state in the "Miss Rodeo America Pageant." Present at the party were her sponsors Dr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Ford; coordinator Margorie Murphy; trustees Janice Ricks and Les Paulick, along with about 50 other supporters. Amelia and Nick Garza of Hair Dimensions shared the spot- light with Wayne Kelly of Jordon Kelly to present unique hair and fashion looks in August. Another dimension of the forward looking fall clothes filled our runway as Rebecca Solo- mon of Discovery Boutique previewed the latest design crea- tions of Bill Blass, Hanae Mori and Adrienne Vittadini. To complete the fashion ensemble as cooler weather ap- proaches, what better finishing touch than miles and miles of gorgeous furs - designed by Koslow's of Dallas, Fort Worth Dr. Joseph Ford and Miss Rodeo Texas.

We appreciate the method you described on how the grant will be paid, but if it would make it easier for the Fiesta Commission, you might prefer to pay the $18,000.00 at one time in April since we don't pay the Symphony until after the Coronation. We will, of course, furnish you with a certified audit. Again, on behalf of the Order of the Alamo, we appreciate your support to our effort to again contribute to a successful Fiesta week. Sincerely,

I've chosen to deliver the message a little differently than most other speakers. Number 1 , I 'm not as much a, speaker, as f ama meeting coordinator; Number 2, I believe each attendee should leave the session with something tangible, as oppoaed to temporary motivation, which may only last 1 or 2 daya; and, Number 3, the program is practical-exercise oriented as appoeed to the lecture method used by so many other speakers. I would welcome the opportunity of sharing these ideas with the Fiesta San Antonio Commission, and would be available for your next meeting. Please feel free to call me, or my assistant Suaan Cook, at 646-8001, for further information, and meeting requirements. Thank you and have a great day.

NO MISSHSC IN'86 25 OCTOBER 1985

FORT SAMHOUSTON, Texas - The 1986 Miss Health Services

Command Program willbe suspended. Maj. Gen. Floyd W. Baker,

HSCcommanding general made the announcementtoday and explained

that the action was being taken to demonstratethat HSC is both

in practice andin spirit, an integralpart of the total Army

community.

He expressedconcern that people outside the Medical Department

think medical soldiers are differentthan other soldiers. "That

hurts," he said, "because we do feel a very true part of the

Army and the Army community."

Almost 8,400 of the 10,224 soldiers at Fort Sam Houston

belong to HSC. "Although Health Services Command is a major

command reportingdirectly to the Departmentof the Army and

has no comnand relationshipwith Fort Sam Houston or Fifth U.S.

Army,we want to be consideredas part of the Fort Sam Houston

community -- not as outsiderswho happen to be located here,"

said Baker.

Baker said he regrets that HSCpersonnel willnot have

the opportunityto compete for Miss HSCnext year; also that

the command willnot receive the recognitionthat comes with

KRIER'SLpWS

During the 69th Legislature, Sen. Cyndi Taylor Kriersponsored 52 bills, including a number designatedas legislative priorities by the city, county and local task forces. When the final gavel sounded, 28 of those measures had been passed by the Senate and House. One of the Krier-sponsoredmeasures was vetoed by Gov. Mark White. He refused to approve HB 741, which would have required a public hearing before school districts could lease property to outsiders. The bill was drafted to prevent a reoccurrence ofthe 50- year lease of Alamo Stadiumto the U.S.F.L. Gunslingers, which occurred without public input. Krier bills which will become law include: HB 353 requiring notice of appeal from denial of an alcoholic beverage license or permit HB 448 creating municipal courts of record in San Antonio HB 501 /SB 1385 allowing the Alamo Community College District to call an election on whether to expand its boundaries from citywide to countywide HB 553 providing job training to help attract federal contracts to military bases in Representative Dan Morales and Senator Cyndi Taylor Krier, House and Senate sponsors of key Texas. measures dealing with the issues of child abuse and family violence, join Governor Mark White HB 579lSB 453 allowing the first adult as he signs the bills into law. in whom a child confides about child abuse to testify in court HB 783lSB 641 strengthening cities' HB 2126lSB 947 permitting Bexar subdivision markers, bus shelters, sidewalk authority to enforce ordinances County Commissioners Court to accept private cafes and other public amenities HB 986 providing training for educators gifts or grants to fund criminal justice pro- SB 869lHB 1626 The Texas Family to recognize child abuse or neglect grams, such as family violence programs and Violence Act, adding protections for family HB 987 providing training for law Crime Stoppers violence victims and strengthening law enforcement officers to recognize child abuse HB 2216 authorizing cities to designate enforcement response in domestic violence or neglect industrial districts in areas where tourist situations HB 101 l/SB 946 authorizing Bexar industry is located (part of the so-called "Sea SB 1193lHB 1565 clarifying eligibility County to collect a one-time $36 fee in child World package") requirements for participation in San Antonio's support cases rather than monthly fees HB 2287lSB 1098 repealing certain municipal retirement systems by fire fighters HB 1365 strengthening prosecution of statutes that violate the Equal Rights provision and police officers auto theft rings of the Texas Constitution - part of President SB 1364lHB 2416 authorizing counties HB 13781SB 757 allowing courts to issue Reagan's fifty state project to designate reinvestment zones and tie "no contact" orders for defendants accused or HB 2479 dissolving the Bexar County property development to tax incentives (part of convicted d .crimes .with chjldren as victims Water -Control and Jrnprouemeat District the so-called "SeaWorldpackage':L HB 1985 designating the 289th District No. 17 Krier legislation which was added to other Court in Bexar County as a juvenile court with HB 24991SB 1457 dissolving the Bexar bills to become law include: primary jurisdiction in child abuse and neglect County Water Control and Improvement SB 1027 allowing the State to recover cases, as well as juvenile delinquency matters District No. 18 costs of transcription of the record of HB 2053 allowing courts and the Board SB 419 clarifying that pharmacies proceedings by the Texas Board of Health or of Pardons and Paroles to require defendants licensed under the Texas Mental Health Code the Texas Department of Health (added to HB accused or convicted of indecency with a child, are subject to the provisions of the Texas 1 593) injury to a child or elderly person, sexual Pharmacy Act SB 1176 requiring child abuse to be assault or aggravated sexual assault to seek SB 641/HB 780 authorizing cities to reported by professionals within 48 hours psychiatric counseling permit the use of rights-of-way for trees, of discovery (added to HB 2423) SB 1429 authorizing a competent person to designate a guardian who would handle the person's affairs in the event he or she becomes incompetent (added to HB 2034) SB 714 authorizing counties to contract with volunteer fire departments for fire pro- tection and to supply fire-fighting equipment to certain communities (added to HB 128) Krier Proposals Face Round Two for 70th Session For copies or additional information about these bills, please write Krier's Capitol office, P.O.
