<P>WOW! What a gathering! There were 8 folks here, most of them for the first time at C&I. Ly Nuala (who is the Central Regional Scribe) was there with a fresh supply of scrolls to be painted.</P>
<P>Many thanks to HL Lete Bithespring and Ly Nuala for their continued support and encouragement. I look forward to seeing everyone again next month. Only you should bring at least one other person with you. *The more, the merrier!*</P>
