Hi Sheri<div><br></div><div>thanks for the info.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope your holidays are off to a nice beginning. We will send you some pictures from our door competition.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, Harv will be attending the meeting on the 17th; however, one of our workshops at my new store got switched to that date and since it involves torches and fire, I think I better stay here for the day. You had mentioned that it probably wasn't one I needed to attend anyway, hope that's okay.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I noticed that the location is still undesignated for the April and June meetings. We do hope one will be in Bandon and will need to reserve the Harbortown Center as early as possible if so; they hold weddings in there.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks, again, Anne<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 11:34 AM, Sheri Stuart <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sheri.stuart@state.or.us">sheri.stuart@state.or.us</a>></span> wrote:<br>
