He stopped in our store yesterday, and would you not know it, the dead day suddenly turned busy. We did get a chance to talk for a while.
Rolando is an engraver since 1966. He is not a supplier.
The meeting is generally set to revolve around glass engraving.
It might be necessary to be an ARA member, not sure.
No cost to attend.
He is trying to get the local branch active again, I think that is a good thing. I am trying to be able to attend.

David, Harvey, and Dee,
Rios invited me to attend and I look forward to it especially on the glass subject.
Thanks to Dee I had the opportunity to speak to a long time associate engraver and customer.

You realize we'll be looking for a report after the meeting, don't you? :-)
Have a good time rubbing elbows with people at the meeting.
Sounds like a great and informative time will be had by all.

David, I am really looking forward to it. I like this glass and acrylic applications and want to learn a lot about the different ways to embellish them.
Who would ever think I would be rubbing elbows with engravers again. I have had a whole week of past experiences with past associates. It is almost scary.
I sent you some samples. I should have sent you some trophy gold plates as it is stunning.

It was a nice meeting with good information and samples.
If time permits I certainly will go to the next meeting. It is currently being planned for September.
We saw the ChromaColor system demonstrated, and had the rotary and sandblasting arenas of marking glass covered. I did a minute or two about the forum and Beach Party.
Subtoner Al was there with a bunch of samples of things done with his white toner process. Pretty impressive. When used on dark items, (on the surface rather than being viewed through the piece), the white toner acts as the bonding agent to the piece. It does not need to be coated first. The adhesion of the white toner and its flexibility was quite impressive.
Everyone attending plans to go to Vegas.
All in all it was a relaxing informative evening, even the messy weather conditions did not dampen spirits.

Dee, if you are accruing CEUs for certification, would your presentation count as credits earned? Just throwing this out if you are in the program.
See you in Vegas B-)
