Dear members,
I hope that you have survived this year’s scorching summer weather. Today actually feels as though fall has finally arrived!
Let’s hope so.
After much planning, I’m very happy to announce that we will have 4 presenters for our October Workshop Meeting (please see details below). I cordially invite you to welcome and support Masa Tsuneyasu, Brett Milliner, Travis Cote and Dave Rear on October 12th at our first ever “workshop meeting.”
Enjoy the last few days of freedom before the Autumn term begins!
See you on the 12th!
Best,
Charlie Robertson
