SCGS Summer Workshop is now over and from all we hear from those who were able to attend it was a wonderful two days: Speakers were very engaging, Vendor tables sold lots of wonderful materials and a great fellowship was had by all. Planning has already begun for next year so save the second weekend of July as some speakers are already committing or asking to return to participate as they had a great time too!
