Harvey,

Sounds like a great lineup. I'm 3,000 miles away from being able to attend, but I'll be there in spirit. :-)

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.

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-)

David,

If the ARA would sanction the Beach Party we could get CEU credits!!!
1. It's educational
2. It's business/profession related
3. What else, surely someone (Hula Boy :-) ) can help me.

Hi Toni,
Yes the complete program could have qualified someone for credits but I am not in the program. I've thought about it but never done it. I understand it takes 4 years to complete.
