Don't they?

Here we are presenting on SAORI at Early Childhood Conferernce that was held at East Tennessee State Univ. last weekend.

Don't we look smart? I do at least...pointing the screen behind the presenting desk.
The facility was great, everything was there...and such a well organized conference that is why so many people came.

I don't usually prepare what I need to talk about. If I do, I am sure I will be so nervous trying to follow what I prepared.
PowerPoint is great! All the images and description show people visually. That helps a lot.

Since we did several presentations so far here and there, we now are getting better at presenting. We learnt more to make the presentation better and better for the next time.

Experience is Learning...It's FUN!

Let's be in touch.

Our Blog!

Thank you for helping us to creat our own blog, Chris!

Now, we are able to share our ideas, concern and anything through this blog.
People who live far away are able to check what we are doing here in MN, too especially after being in Tampa, FL and Johnson City, TN last one month, this is great.

Anyway, I would like to thank you for stopping by our SAORI booth at the Convergence.
It was SAORI's debut at Convergence. We learnt a lot. We will look forward to meeting again in 2010 somewhere in the U.S.

Thank you for listening to my presentation at ETSU the other day for the Early Childhood Conference. It was worth driving down to Tennessee. We are so excited seeing so many people were excited about SAORI.
Now, we need to figure out how we maintain your interest.
Hopefully, one of us can go down there to do a workshop once in a while.
Let's see. Be positive.

This summer has been so busy with Convergence, SAORI U.S.-Canada Conference and Presentations in Tennessee as well as regular summer weaving camp and classes, but we are enjoying all of them!
Oh, thank you for coming to the weaving workshop, fashion show and movie event people around Chaska several weeks ago. I hope to see you soon since you are so close to us!!

Anyway, let's be in touch!
