[papercreters] Re: FIRST PAPERCRETE GROUP GATHERING

This sounds like a BLAST!!!

I hope every member of Papercreters thinks seriously about attending. I can't think of a better way for someone to learn about papercrete than to get their hands in it and make some themselves.

I'm confident we will have many veteran Papercreters attending and sharing their wisdom and experience.

I suggest emailing Ev TODAY. evelynanne8@gmail.com

The earlier you get registered the better.

THANK YOU JUDITH AND EV
Taking on this project will be a lot of work.

I hope everyone in Papercreters appreciates the investment of time and energy they are putting into this gathering.
