Hi all,

I am scheduling a marketing team meeting for Wed, 23 March to review our tasks and talk about future marketing projects.

It's the Meetup time of year and I am hoping the Community team will assist with identifying fiber festivals and finding members to hold Meetups.

We have 2 days of Meetups scheduled fro MSWF (MD Sheep and wool) and hoping to gather a big crowd.  I need help with finding a "hook"-some way to get people there.  Laverne is NOT coming to MSWF. It would be nice to have someone weaving something as demo.  We have so many weavers in this area.  How do I get this going?

Claudia
