~Shout out for activity…~

Ok all of you experienced fractalists…here is where you get to shine a lil for the club…
What i’m gonna do now, is ask for any of the senior fractalists to note the club and let us know what kinds of things you’d like to help the newbs with; is it technique, scripts, use of plugins, gradients, editor, program knowledge, etc? Now’s the time to let us know so we can plan activities to best utilize your expertise in the area you are strongest. I know the newbs will greatly appreciate whatever help you can offer, so long as you speak up and offer it lol…so come one, come all and help out the new kids on the block! They’d love to hear from you whether it is one on one, or whether it is in a group activity setting…it matters not…they would love the benefit of your experience! Looking forward to hearing from you all, and this is for all experienced fractalist currently either watching the club or who are members. **Subject line: Senior Fractalists aid
