No, Jeri. Though you and I rarely disagree, this time we do! I don't
want a name that suits the stationery. If anything, I want stationery
to suit the name. And the name should have pizzazz, gallop, life.
"International Organization of Lacers" is awful. And while we're
getting rid of old encumbrances, let's get rid of "lacers" too. We
aren't "lacers." We're lacemakers! Come on, Jeri, wake up the old
Madison Avenue and find us a name! -- Aurelia

At one point in the long tortuous discussion of this issue, someone made
the
thrifty suggestion that if the name were changed to International
Organization of Lacers, Inc., we wouldn't have to throw away the IOLI
stationary and
order new.
Dear Devon,
That would have been me. And perhaps others? I recall saying that the
initials "IOLI" would not have to be changed with this name and that
perhaps a lot
of stationery that was out-and-about would not have to be replaced
immediately.
I recall being very active in support of a name that represented what we were
and what we wanted to become. The present name is very unfriendly to the
young people we wish to attract, and misleading to the public and press.
Having a Madison Avenue public relations background, and having learned that
names applied to a product, service, company, or organization, are very
important to long-term success,
