The 2016 International Paper Doll Convention was held in Phoenix, Arizona June 21 to 26, in the Embassy Suites Phoenix Biltmore Hotel. Jane Rasor was the convention chairperson.
Jane is pictured on the right. With her are Paula Sherrick, from Tucson Arizona, and Bruce Patrick Jones from Toronto, Canada. Jane did an amazing job planning the convention, making hotel arrangements, choosing the menus, implementing the convention theme and setting up the museum tour and tour of Phoenix. Jane is a retired attorney who worked as an in-house lawyer for a large electrical company in the Phoenix area. She grew up in Boston, but moved to Phoenix after she finished her education, looking to settle somewhere warmer than Boston. Obviously Phoenix fit the bill. Jane had a charming, easy-going way as she led us through each day of the convention. She knew the first and last names of every single person attending and did her best to make sure that everyone felt welcomed. Hats off to you, Jane, for another GREAT convention!! Thanks from all of us!
At the Welcome Fiesta Party we were treated to a fun game put together by Jane Borg and her sister, Jeanette Craker. These were Neva Schultz drawings that came from the children's magazine
Story Parade in the 60's. We had to guess the nationality of each pair. It was HARD! Winners were Mary Herzog, Margie Seltzer, and Debra Van Dyke.
Jane deserves a lot of credit for putting this all together! Also, thanks to the sisters for putting on a fun contest.
