Can't wait to get back in the groove!

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday season and say that I sure miss seeing you!  My husband, Barry, has been our of the hospital a week, but he is progressing slowly and needs someone around.  He is disappointed that he didn't spring back the day after he was released and is sick and tired of being sick and tired!  You can imagine the fun I'm having!

I will get to the January meeting if it's the last thing I do!  I'm looking forward to hearing the details of the upcoming project and trying my hand at something new.

On the ISGB front, we are working on the registration book for the Gathering--it's going to be a lot of fun with good classes, a fantastic exhibit, members' only show, and an excellent program of demos and lectures.  We're going to be on the east coast this year and in 2010, so if you've ever thought about seeing what all the excitement is about, Miami and Rochester would be the places to check out.  We anticipate the long-awaited rollout of the new & improved website and forum at the first of the year, too.  It's taken over a year but I think everyone who uses the ISGB forum will be very pleased.

Take good care of yourselves, have relaxed and fruitful holidays, and I'll see you in January!

Much love,

Nolly
