Have a favorite draft that you want to share? Or maybe one that you've wanted to try out, but just haven't had the time? Submit it as part of the Round-robin sampling workshop. As part of the workshop, you will receive a binder with the drafts and pertinent information and your own woven sample of all the drafts.
Contact Angela for details and the registration form (or click on the link in the 2019-2020 schedule under Monthly Meetings). Please have your information submitted to Angela by February 1st so she has time to organize it.
