Dear Friends,
So much work, time, and expense had been invested in planning NCECA in
New Orleans 2008 over the past few years. When it was moved to Pittsburg,
the New Orleans and Gulf Coast area potters decided to put on a production
of our own. Please read the attachments and sign up to be there ! NEW
Orleans is a wonderful place=20
!!!!=20
I have been busy with family tasks, and I'm eager=20
to spend some time with my clay friends
again. I'm sending this to all of the potters in my address book. I know
some addresses are outdated, and some of you may have given up on me....but,
I'm back :>) I'd love to hear from yall.
Soon...very soon,
Merrie
PS>>>>>pass this flyer on to other potters in your address book,
please. Wouldn't it be great to celebrate clay=20
with potters/friends in the Big Easy !
