[ArtSci] Iron & Ink - June 13-15

Tue May 6 00:15:29 EDT 2008

Please forward to your local branches - we are doing a straw vote to see if
we have a good class-student-instructor mix for the event. If you are likely
to come please put down those classes you would be likeliest to take (return
answers to Tamlyn at verizon.net )

Thanks,
Dame Tamlyn

Iron and Ink will be held this year in the Shire of Dregate (Omak, WA) . We
soon will be posting for sign up (Mother's Day if everything goes well, at
least a partial list). At least half of the pre-registration seats will be
for non-locals. Sign up will occur mostly ahead of time, though a few spur
of the moment seats should be available in some classes. If the instructor
requires payment for the class it must be sent to confirm a place in the
class (if you sign up for a class without committing to coming you may
prevent someone else from getting into it and their choosing to come and the
instructors may have unpaid class materials:-<) .
