[NPMUG] Goodwill CRC update, Friday, March 12, 1010

[Milana Bizic]

I made you all famous today on the Linked-in Educational Technology forum because I love you guys!
I think you're all so wonderful to do what you do.

Oh, while I'm at it, I have to share this wonderful idea I saw with you.
Today I was at the Frick Museum, looking at the wonderful WPA art from 1934.
It's a magnificent exhibit of what our country looked like then.... so go, if you can.

But afterwards, we went to the Gift Shop.

Listen to this..... I told my friend, Vang, that I had to share this idea with you guys, so you can make some money too!

They had these green "mother"boards, with all the schematic drawings, etc.
But at the top of each one, was this huge clip type thing attached.  (Clip boards!)

They were selling for $15 each.   You probably have some of those green boards, right?
A little glue and a "clamp" and you're in business!!!   :-)
