ART BEE/coLAB (A Group)

image1Hello A Group.

Hope the ART BEE is going great. Just a couple reminders.

Materials are shared. So once you are finished with thread, scissors, needles or fabric, please place neatly back in clear boxes in the common area.

Sewing Machines are awesome yet can break easily. If one stops working, please tape a sign saying FIX ME on it.

24 Hours for Each Action. Hand over at 8am each morning. Put project in bag, add name of person it is going to and either hand it to them or hang on wall in Cohen (between two closets).

Here is the ACTION LIST. ACTIONS

Here is the WHO to HAND IT OFF TO CHART. Remember that you are following only the row with your name in the furthest left column.

Good Luck!

Yay! $$$ for the Japan Trip!

This just in from Dr. Jones! If you are in the B-block course/trip Encountering Japan… you may be able to find some help to defray costs. Read on:

Two awards of $2,000 each will be available.
