Join us in July as Loyd Dillan Presents How to Increase Your Creativity


Join us on July 1st, at 9:30am, at United Supply to hear our friend Loyd Dillon share How to Increase Your Creativity. We are in for a treat! Loyd is a true Renaissance man. He is charming, and fun and he has quite a resume to boot. Loyd is a member of FIDS, holds the highest appellation, Mentor, in the AIDP and has been a professional interior designer for more than 40 years. Loyd is CQRID certified at their highest level, is an elected Fellow of The Interior Design Society (IDS) -- one of only nine people to EVER receive Fellowship, IDS's highest honor. Loyd was co-founder and two-time President of the Carolina's Chapter of IDS, was co-founder and two-time President of the Charlotte Chapter of IDS, and is a past NATIONAL President of IDS. Loyd teaches three semester-long courses in the CPCC Interior Design Department and a 27-week series of continuing ed courses in interior design at York Tech. He is also a freelance writer (mostly magazine articles, humor and limericks), a freelance illustrator (of 14 books so far), a lay minister (officiating at weddings, giving guest speaker sermons), a rare book collector (he says the books are rare but he's not) and public speaker (seminars, talks). Loyd was chosen a while back by Charlotte Magazine in their one-time-only list as being one of the 50 most interesting people in Charlotte. He says it must have been a slow news year or that the magazine had lazy researchers. Loyd is married, has three sons and four grandchildren (two of each "flavor").

The Charlotte Chapter of the WCAA encourages prospective members to visit up to two times before committing to membership. This would be a great meeting to check us out. For folks that have visited twice, but not made a commitment, we are inviting you to come as well. We are charging $25.00, which is a great value for a teaching session with Loyd. A light breakfast and coffee will be provided by United Supply.

Date: Thursday, July 1, 2010
Time: 9:30am - 6:00pm
Location: United Supply Company
