Sorry for cross posting this but wanted to ensure it reaches any
letterboxers active on this board that don't yet know about the more
specific regional letterboxing discussion boards:

Hi folks,

There are a few letterboxing related classes scheduled at the Tacoma
Nature Center in January.

If you're interested check out the details at:

http://www.metroparkstacoma.org/files/library/531bdc5fbf3c3303.pdf

You have to 'dig' through the .pdf to find the classes but they're
there or you can try the search feature under the 'activities' tab.
Last word was that the stamp carving class was cancelled but I
wonder if there's enough 'quick' interest in it if they may be able
to resurrect it?

Looks like these are the dates:

14 Jan 06: Stampcarving (as of now cancelled)
21 Jan 06: Journal making
28 Jan 06: Letterboxing Overview includes some stamp carving

You can sign up online at www.metroparkstacoma.net or call
Registration/Reservations Office at
(253) 305-1022, Mon-Fri, 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m

I've volunteered to help out with a couple of these as has Helen who
helped teach the previous class.

It'd be great to see some of you there. There are a couple of
letterboxes on the premises and they'd enjoy seeing some more, I
presume, too. ;) They've apparently fixed up the trails since last
time I was there and have renumbered the nature trail markers--so
the clues to the current boxes will change soon.

I've been letterboxing for 3-1/2 years now and still learn something
new at every single workshop I attend/or lead. It's amazing the
different and effective techniques that folks develop as they
experience the letterboxing adventure on their own.
