Thirty members and nine guests attended the Cindy Drozda Demonstration on February 8.  I received a lot of favorable comments about this demonstration.  This was our first effort at utilizing a remote demonstration.  Now that we know how well it can work—and how cost-effective it is, I am sure we will be utilizing this format again in the future.
