[Kristy]

Absolutely you can do both, just will be $10 materials fee ($5/project). And yes, you can pay dues in person at the meetings by cash or check. (Or you can pay online by paypal or credit card any time by adding a paid subscription on your user profile settings.)

[irmandanny]

sounds good! :) thank you Kristy & put me down for both :thumbs_up:

[fjr_wertheimber]

Hey guys, thanks for the great class on acrylics. I've been wanting to learn how to do small acrylic stuff like that for a while, so it was incredibly helpful. Learned a bunch, and it was great seeing folks from MAAST again (2 years and 2 trips to Iraq since my last MAAST meeting).
