Hi Marcel,
I sent in the necessary app and application fee to join. I'm excited as I said in the last post.  Suprisingly, the piano does hold a pretty good tune for as bad of shape it's in.  The practice with the lever and various techniques like felting aren't too bad.  Im also workig on speed.  

I have the ads and door knob hangers ready to  print.  I'm looking forward to the cardio excersize of walking and putting those babies on the doors.  Now if we could just get a little warmer than 50 which isn't bad for Jan. around here.
