September Meeting Minutes 2019
Hello Everyone,
PRESENT:
Sharon, Dawn, Ryan, Jan, Mary, Niomi.
TALKING STICK 28:
Our workshop will be from 9 to 12 on Saturday morning, Sept. 21, 2019. Angela Foster is the instructor and the class is Revision in Ten Steps. Then there will be a catered lunch for the workshop attendees. There is NO restaurant open this year at Smokey Hills. At 1 PM, we will start the book release party. It generally lasts till 3 or 4.
We will have rectangular tables this year which should be better than the round ones. Mike and Ryan and Marlys will come early at 8 AM. It should be 70 or 75 degrees this year, much better than last year.
We have 34 for the workshop and it sounds like lots of people will be coming to the book party.
Sharon H will go out to Smokey Hills Friday evening to meet with Angela and the owners to go over details.
Niomi will help Sharon H to put together the folders for the workshop.
