Presenter: JANE MATSUMOTO
Sponsor: INLAND EMPIRE/POMONA VALLEY CHAPTER
About the program: SfC member, Jane Matsumoto, will lead us through a fun program where we'll create a place to store our nibs or to give a gift of nibs! The tri-fold holder with an accordion style center which allows the sections holding the slots for the nibs, to fold out for easy access. Start saving corrugated cardboard, either from packaging or boxes! You will need a small sheet to make one of these nifty nib holders.
