Hi, Folks,

SDA Michigan's meeting schedule has ended for the summer. However if you would like to get together for a pot-luck picnic and show and tell, please let me know and preferred day. I'm participating in the Ann Arbor Craft Fair, so after well before or after the week of July 14, please. If there is enough interest, I will schedule something.

Meanwhile, I hope you all have a great summer. For those attending the SDA Conference, I hope you have a fabulous time and learn lots to share when we meet again in the fall.

Should you be working on something fabulous, here are two calls for entry that might appeal to you. One is right here in Michigan! Have you noticed that entry fees have taken another jump?
