Hi Gerry

New here to the Ottawa region. Do you guys have a mailing list that I can subscribe to? Maybe ask the admin of FPN and s/he can potential create one for the OFPNs. Just a suggestion.

I will try to come to the May one. Most pressing question: besides "Paper Papier", where can I get Clairefontaine notebooks? I use the "registre" format for work since it folds on the top and it is larger size so I can do schemas and other stuff well.

Looking forward to meet the others
Jennie
