Go for it..why not? altho I would not want any commercial info on it.

I'm assuming Axner would be doing this for good will...

Tom -
I think it would be a great idea to have Clayart badges available at NCECA,
and if Howard Axner is willing to help out, that is certainly to his credit.
Years ago at NCECA Rochester someone had a big batch of commercial badges
made, just white disks with CLAYART written on them in black block letters.
Many of us embellished them according to our individual whims. I have been
using the same badge ever since, but it is getting a little tired.
Best wishes -

I have a question for the group concerning NCECA. At the last NCECA =
meeting I attended, I often wondered as I walked through the halls how =
many clayarters I passed without recognizing. It has occured to me that =
if we wore some means of identification such as a pin or badge we could =
identify each other as clayarters. I have tentatively spoken with Howard =
Axner with whom I am associated as a "silent business partner" [well =
sometimes not always silent] and he/we would consider making some badges =
available. In addition to helping us identify participating members, it =
might prove helpful to advertise this wonderful listserve to =
non-participants. I am curious what the group thinks. Thanks and happy =
and productive New Years to all.

Hi,

Through the years I've attended, I remember several badge solutions:

*magic marker saying clayart at the bottom of the badge
*Tony Hanson turned out some and had them at Axner's table once
*in Dallas, someone had made a small pin that was Texas shaped, sorry to
say I don't remember who made them, turned mine into a refrigerator
magnet
*mel brought round orange dots last year

I had to giggle about Mel's promise to bring red dots for identification of
Clayart people.

In another life (before clay) I worked as a nurse in intensive care at a
Florida hospital. Red dots on charts, wrist bands, room doors, etc. were an
unobtrusive signal that the patient/family/ physician/whatever had requested
"no-code" status. That is, the patient was not to be revived if he/she
decided to stop breathing, etc. All the nurses wore them, too. We had coded
people, and we knew damn well *we* didn't want that done to us. Cynical,
huh?

Anyhow, I'm not going to make it to NCECA this year, but I'll take a red dot
anyhow, Mel. :)
