MPG 2012 demos, 2nd appeal

[low_48]

I posted this on Jan 30, and only had one private message offer from Pat Ankrom. HELP, PLEASE!!!!!!! I'm not sure I can organize this whole thing, try and sell some blanks, and do multiple demos. I haven't gotten a firm title on Ed Brown's demo, but he has also volunteered to help. You don't have to actually turn in your demo if you are hesitant to do that in front of a crowd. Many subjects can be described with samples, handouts, power point presentations, etc.......

Hi Martin,
It's called the Midwest Penturners Gathering. This is the 6th annual, my 2nd as organizer. I've expanded the event to 1 1/2 days this year. A free event that's all about pen turning. Demos, techniques, sharing, door prizes, socializing, and just a lot of fun. Here's my first post about this years event.
