John,
What a great idea. I would be interested, depending on timing. I have a 6
year old and a 5 month old, so planning anything past tomorrow is, well, a
challenge. I do not tie but would enjoy the opportunity to meet some of the
people on the list. Once I know I can attend, and you get a sense for size
and activities I will try to pick out something to volunteer for.
