The 97th Annual meeting of Western Textile Services Association is scheduled for July 11^th through the 14^th at Temecula Creek Inn in Temecula California.   Temecula is centrally located in Southern California,  one hour for San Diego, one hour from Orange Country and one hour and twenty minutes from Los Angeles.

After considering several choices the Board of Directors at their Production Clinic meeting in Las Vegas on January 28, 2010 selected the Temecula Creek Inn as the location for WTSA’s annual convention and July 11^th through the 14^th, 2010 as the dates. 

In selecting Temecula Creek Inn [TCI] the Board was seeking a Southern California location that gives the feeling of a retreat/convention site with serenity.   TCI offers that plus special amenities including but not limited to an onsite golf course.   WTSA’s staff along with the aid and assistance of Parker Pacific is negotiating room rates and amenity costs.  As soon as the details are finalized, WTSA will notify you.    This is a preliminary SAVE THE DATE NOTICE.

The Allied Trades members at the Board of Directors meeting indicated a willingness to bring back the “hospitality room” so that the attendees would have a place to meet and enjoy one another’s company in the evenings.  Bringing adult beverages onto the property may be an issue, but it appears that as long as it is held in a rental unit the occupant can serve his guests whatever he/she pleases. With that thought in mind the Allied Trades are willing to sacrifice Jim Ginnetti’s room for their hospitality suite.  Thanks, Jim!

Temecula Creek Inn is located amongst the abundant natural beauty of Southern California’s wine country.   Each room has a golf course view and the public space is superb.

President Jim Ginnetti has contacted one speaker for our annual convention and WTSA is looking for suggestions on the theme of the convention as well as speakers.   WTSA looks forward to seeing you in Temecula in 2010.  Call 310-476-8736 or email info@wtsa.org if you have suggestions for speakers.
