Students who attended

*I passed a sign-up sheet around, but I realized it was never handed back to me. I had 9 students, all of whom were
wonderful. There were three school girls who seemed to enjoy themselves a lot, and the rest were women ranging
from 30 to 50 years. Everyone cooperated, worked with each other, and got a chance to talk and come up to the
board.
