National Conventions

• The National Convention, held in September, is important to the Tea Leaf Family. Since convention sites vary from year to year, many members use this time as a way to explore the country. The TLCI convention is a time for friends, facts and fun to buy, sell or trade Tea Leaf; to meet other folks who share their love for Tea Leaf; to learn from speakers and educational programs; and to share in the annual business meeting. Information on the 29th Annual Tea Leaf Convention set for Springfield Illinois in September 2008 is available by contacting TeaLeafClubIntl@cs.com

• Regional meetings are hosted by Tea Leaf Family members. Since many members are not able to attend the National convention, Regionals let them share in the educational and social activities of the Club near to home. Regional dates are set up at the beginning of each year and information is published in "Tea Leaf Readings."
