Did You Know It's been a long time since I sent the last Did You Know?
Did You Know It's been a long time since I monitored 2nd & 4th Friday Open Shops?
Did You Know That this Friday I with Mark Malmstrom and others as monitors will be restarting these Open Shops in a new time slot?
Did You Know That the new time slot will be from 10:00 AM till 2:00 PM on the 2nd and 4th Fridays?
Did You Know That we hope that the later start time and longer hours will appeal the late risers and those that would like more time to work on their projects?
Did You Know That we hope participants will bring a lunch and maybe a treat to share with other participants?
Did You Know That you can skip lunch, pop out for lunch or order in but the hope is that this format will encourage more socialization and getting to know each other better?
Did You Know That we hope you will bring some Show-&-Tell pieces to share and possibly do some informal critiquing?
Did You Know That we hope to have every lathe in use and lots of social interaction?
Did You Know That we anxiously await getting back to turning and sharing with y'all? Hope to see you soon.
These opinions are my own. I am open to civil discussion. Vitriol will be ignored.
If what I say causes you to contribute to the success of OVWG in some way, then I have accomplished my goal. Please step forward and volunteer for a role that fits you and your passion.
