SW Analysis and Discussion

By Region - Southwest, SW In Person Analysis and Discussion
Greetings IWS SW members:
This Monday, September 7, 2026, we will not be conducting our usual critique at Eagle Hills Church.
The church is scheduled to be closed, and many of you will be planning family events around the Labor Day Holiday.
As such, we will postpone our critique until Monday, October 5, 2026.
I will be out of town on that Monday, so I am asking for volunteers to conduct the critique on that Monday.  Volunteers should please contact me directly at scottmuscolo@gmail.com or send me a text at 805-795-0252.
Thank you, and wishing you all a happy Labor Day!
