LAMA

Greetings,

The officers of LAMA are interested to know what you’re interested in!  In order to better fill the needs and wants of the membership, we would like you to take a little time to look over the following list of demonstration topics of interest to the blacksmithing community and rank them in descending order of interest to you (A,B,C, or 1,2,3,).  At each meeting LAMA will strive to have at least one, but hopefully more demonstrations of the most popular items on the list.  The demos will be given by experienced members or an outside, recognized expert smith if possible.  Following the list is a section for qualifying your skill level, and your interest in the conference demonstrator.  This information will help in how the demos might be presented and finding demonstrators of most interest to the membership.  Please fill out and return to LAMA by April 30th so that arrangements can be made for the May.  Hope to see you all at the next meeting and remember, “think while heating, strike while hot, admire while cool”.
