[TheForge] Congratulations & Reminder

[magichammer]

Dave,

Could you please put these two announcements on 'the forge' and the 'editors
list'?????

#1. Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Area Artist Blacksmiths Association!
PAABA signed up 12 new ABANA members and won one free registration to the
2004 ABANA Conference in Richmond, Kentucky. Balcones Forge only needs three
more members to join ABANA to win and the Gulfcoast Blacksmiths Association
only needs five. Hurry, this off expires June 1, 2004.

#2. Al Butlak of the New York State Designer Blacksmiths wanted to remind
everyone about the banner / flag project for the 2004 Conference. He has
only heard from ten affiliates. We need everyone to participate as the plan
is to present the flags at the opening ceremonies. Please get in touch with
Al and let him know if your group will be represented. Telephone:
716-894-7185 email: butlak1 at mindspring.com  SHOW OFF THE TALENTS OF YOUR
AFFILIATE!!!!!!
