August 18th is the next PWS meeting, not the 25th!!
We will meet at the Hampton Library, in their small meeting room downstairs at 2:00 pm on that Sunday.
When you come into the library there is a short hallway slightly to the right. If you follow it to the rear on the left is the door to the smaller meeting room.
This month is "bring anything you are working on and want to show to your peers for accolades, oooh's and ahhh's"
I have some updates on next year's meeting location and we need to talk about possibly changing the meeting day to Saturday. We will talk about it this month, next month and finally at the Potluck in October, the overall agreement of the members in attendance will decide, so please come to at least one of the next three meetings to help us decide.
What day we pick will decide where we meet.
