[Nfb-krafters-korner] Edie Eckmen Workshops

[River Woman]

I will do that.  So far, it opens at Merrick, and then travels to New 
Castle, PA where it will be on view at the Jameson Health System in their 
brand new wing - won't have that date for another two weeks when I meet with 
them to finalize it.  And, we have the final venue scheduled, too, and that 
will be from October - Christmas at the River's Edge Gallery in New 
Brighton, PA - it will be a big celebration of the two years of venues. More 
to come.
