Hello Everybody, Since I have started doing the shops tours again, I wanted to check with you about getting some more people to make their shop available for a shop tour. It’s not a big deal, you can have a large shop, small shop, medium shop, tiny shop, clean shop, dirty shop. Whatever shop you have it will work for the shop tour. We can learn just as much from something you have done right as from something you have done wrong. You might be nervous about allowing people into your shop; just so you know, these tours are only open to CWA members (no guests are allowed). I could use a few more shops on the tour, if you will allow your shop to be on the tour please send me an e- mail. You will get plenty of notice before a tour and if it doesn’t work for you, then it doesn’t work, no problem. Thanks, Mike C. Smith Note from our president
