SignWorkshop OASLTA

[Charles Butler]

Seeing the pictures, maybe I gave more information than I thought.  They had it, 
at least half of them kept their packets, so who knows.

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry you felt so bad about the presentation,  but the problems you list 
were definitely there... I wanted to help out during  the presentation but was 
afraid I might unintentionally take over.  At  least you did get positive 
responses from a couple of people!
 
Saturday morning there was a brunch for early  registrants and I was one of 
them.  I had brought some of the phone message  pads from Pass It On Services, 
and when there were just three of us left at the  brunch I started chatting with 
the others and showed them the message  pads.  With absolutely NO information 
about how SW works, they both started  getting words within a few seconds!!!  I 
was very impressed and they were  both quite interested, so that was 
encouraging. :-)
 
I'm attaching some pictures of me and Charles  at the workshop.
KJ
