You are invited to share "Suite Dreams" at the newly renovated Ottawa Travelodge Hotel, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Ottawa has been described as one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. Just a few hours drive from Montreal or Toronto and less than an hour from the New York border, Ottawa enjoys the attributes of a major centre for the visual and performing arts, as well as other big city attractions. Yet, it still maintains the accessibility, atmosphere and charm of a smaller city. Your weekend will begin Friday evening with a buffet supper and an evening of fun.  After breakfast on Saturday and again on Sunday, we plan to offer registered workshops, including half day, full day and new this year, day and a half length classes.  During lunches and dinner on Saturday, centrepieces and exchange gifts will be drawn. And, Saturday night will be the long awaited Artisans Market where you will have the opportunity to purchase one of a kind miniature items and enjoy the displays.  The weekend ends with a scrumptious farewell lunch on Sunday and draws for Gathering Helpers. The theme for the 2004 Gathering is "Suite Dreams" and we've chosen romantic cream and blue as our official colours. This site includes a registration form, complete itinerary and additional information on events, costs, workshops, who to contact and how to volunteer.
