A big thank you to Mr. Jim Dailing for hosting our fun and happy April COMAG meeting at COCC.   John Paul was kind enough to give us yet another demonstration, this time.. of how to maintain a flexshaft and handpiece.   It's something I am sure most of us need to be doing!

Our president Kellen Bateham touched base on other subjects such as details for the Oxford Show coming up in early August.  It is now sold out and participating members need to pay for their booths and start preparing.  We need volunteers for planning and advertising..etc. Please contact Goph Albitz for more information.

A gem exchange is also planned for Sunday, May 8th 2016 at the Work House from 1-5 pm hosted by Marianne Prohdehl. Our first one ever ...
