To get your name into the drawing, all you have to do is pre-register your display(s) and bring them to Orlando to share in our cake room. Each person, who pre-registers and brings at least one display, will receive an entry for each piece that meets Century Club guidelines. This drawing is in addition to the Century Club drawing. Pre-registrations must be postmarked or emailed by July 1, 2007. Forms will only be available on the ICES web site. So if you haven't started already, get those mixers going; and let’s fill up the cake room with beautiful displays!
