[Helpers] Europoster

[Mystress Angelique Serpent]

   My brain is exploding... I'm doing too many things at once, again!

   Trying to catch up with emails, creating new email addresses for 
workshop hosts, making the workshops page, looking at the poster, reviewing 
essay edits, making a second and third DVD copies of the vids,  and eating 
honey-nut Cheerios dry. All at once.

   I sent an email of the text of the poster to the list.

  Thank you for your suggestions. Please edit it as you think best and send 
it back?  I know there were some things Lori suggested that somehow got 
cut.. like "this workshop will be a powerful, life changing experience and 
a lot of fun! "
