Comment by Leisa Rich on February 27, 2011 at 8:47am: Great to be here! I am from Sarnia, Ontario- used to live in Toronto, London and also Vancouver- and now live in Atlanta, Georgia. Are there any members who live in Atlanta? if so, join Atlanta Canadians and also message me! There is a great Canada Day party at Meehan's every year- maybe we could meet up there! Can't wait for art opportunities in Canada!!!! Is this group just for Canadians, or are Americans allowed to join it, too?

Steve Shelby left a comment for John Lunn

"Hi John. I love your flute. I worked at a job for 23 years making keys and the metal parts for contrabassoons. Unfortunately, there was no creativity involved. The upside is that I learned a huge amount about working with metal and making tools."
