Announcements for Mar 16, 2021

1. Both the November 2020 and February 2021 issues of the Studio Classroom magazine are in stock. Perhaps we could discuss again, then decide which issue and finalize the number of copies that people would like to order in class on March 16? This will give the new members of the class a chance to consider it.

I will give Tina the sales rep's contact info on March 16. Thanks so much to Tina for being willing to help the class order them!
