Are you geared up for the 2018-19 season of meetings of the OWA? Has the finish properly hardened on your summer opus for Show and Tell? No problem if you need an extra week, since our first meeting for 2018-19 will be on the .S.E.C.O.N.D. Tuesday in September, the 11th. We move back to first Tuesdays in October.
