Good morning everyone. Just a reminder, this Saturday is our spring meeting. I think Ray, Chris and the folks at the Moses-Myers House will make this a very worthwhile event. And thank you Ed Sontag, owner of Woodcraft, for his kindness in letting us use his largest classroom, providing give-aways, and including us in the weekend sales. Following are notes and an agenda:
