Doug,
Hi.  I edited the original message to include the Events section.

I got a sneak preview at the first issue this afternoon - it looks absolutely great! Congrats to Rodd (editor-in-chief) and his team for putting this together. Hopefully there will be many more issues to follow!
We will have a few copies as door prizes at the tech session next weekend (along with door prizes donated by Ed Ebel from Becker of North America, Bob Geco as well as others) so there's another reason to join us and have a good (and educational) time ...

Here goes my 200-th post, hope I spelled it right!

Hello Group,

While at this past weekend's tech session and taking photos, I had "Pagoda World cover" in the back of my mind.  Anyone is allowed to submit photos to be used in Pagoda World, for the cover or elsewhere.  If you have high resolution digital photos that are impressive in their artistic nature, please send them to me for consideration.  You will be given due credit in the magazine

Thanks!
