Hi Jim,

I had asked Stephanie to contact me when the competition piece was available and never heard back from her. I just sent another request to her, so if she she sends one in a timely fashion I will be there.

If for anything, the light refreshments, you silly framer!!!!

Jim it will be good to see you & I hope you are entering the competition.
Are you going to enter anything in open class?
 
Where are the rest of the Ohio grumblers?

We are planning next year Meetings is there a day or time that would be easier for you to attend meetings?
 
No Ray's pizza but Ray's is where the Meeting After The Meeting will be held. There will be plenty of food from some of Kent's great restaurants. No one should go home hungry. There also will be tours of our newly relocated shop. I'm also looking forward to feedback and suggestions from fellow framers.

Yes Bob, thank you for hosting the meeting. Your place is wonderful. Also, thanks to Jim Cook (Gumby) for the demonstration on the Wizard. He makes that machine sing.

It was good to see everyone.

I have to say it was a very good chapter meeting....
Thanking everyone for coming.
Creative Chicks, Jpaul, Jim Miller to name a few of the grumblers to show up.
Thank LeWinter Moulding for making sure there was a supplier representation.
Saw some new faces there, what a great crowd.
The refreshments were refreshing.
The snacks were prefect.
The hospitality & gallery tour by Bob Mayfield & Cassie I was a extremely friendly & drooling experience.
The Pictures that were submitted for the competition were all very,very well done.
The Judging I heard was extremely hard because they were all so well done.
Thank you Vivian Kistler for your Expertise with the judging.
I think ALL the board members should be Thanked for the time & effort in putting together a great meeting.

I would also like to thank those who sat in on my Wizard demonstration.
I hope you all walked away with something if you own or rent one. For the ones who were there that didn't have one. You should have a better Idea why it is more reasonable & cost effective to have one.

If anyone has suggestions on what they would like to see at future meetings just post it here or email me.
Suggestion can be for;
Guest speakers
Demonstrations
Table Top Trade show
Even location for the meeting (Gallery, Frameshop, Hotel, City)
The Chapter is here for the members.
