4) Parking: Please remember not to leave your vehicle at the side entrance, come in unload and move your vehicle to the parking lot...Thank you.

5)  Set Up & Clean Up:   Remember to help out where you can.  The more help the less work for everyone.  Thank you.

7) 100 Block Challenge:  We will be continuing our 100 Block challenge during this UFO.  If you have been unable to find/ purchase this book, no worries....we will have copies around for the fist few blocks.  This is a great book and the blocks are simple and quick.    No pressure to participate but we hope many of you are interested.
