Thanks Trav. Gonna be a good one.

Where will the meeting be???

Its at MCCC. in Troy.

If you remember, the guild voted to have all meetings at MCC until further notice. No-one wanted to host a meeting because of distance,and MCC being centrally located, it was decided this would be easy for the majority of the membership.Of course you guys in the central part of the state ,,,,,WELL ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,TRAV

Ok, I know this may be a dumb question, but as this will be only my second meeting (first as a member), Are we going to do iron in the hat?

Always. That is a meeting standard.

I can't remember a meeting without an Iron in the Hat.

Phillip and I have a bunch of stuff for IITH.

Any know the address of MCCC, if not guess I can find it when I get there.
Thanks, Art

This should help you, Art.

That goes for the rest of you, too.

I thought you had a pretty good meeting last Saturday Jan.31,2009 and we need some pictures posted of it.

I went home and started on some blades that I started in 1999, never finished them because I was getting ready to move to NC.
