You'll be working both individually and in small groups.l will take plenty of time to answer your questions and guide you into the world of visual language with hints and techniques suited to figure individual progress. **Our areas of focus:** * Learn to hold the pen, draw clean lines, and structure your space on the flip chart * Create graphics and text containers/geometric shapes, objects and symbols * Discover the easy ways the bikablo® method provides to draw people, roles, groups, and situations * Use simple and fast options to color elements and spaces to support the graphic structure * Combine all the ingredients - graphics, writing, symbols, figures, and color - to create visual, translations of content and meaningful posters for different purposes.

### What is ‘*Spies Across Time*‘? Glad you asked. *Spies Across Time* is GBA’s evening reception where guests are encouraged to accept their ‘Mission’ and seek out fellow Agents. This undercurrent of intrigue will enhance the networking as you find your way to the Titanium Canister. Not interested in these shenanigans as you try to nab that big contract? No worries. That’s the beauty of spying. If you choose not to engage as an Agent, most of this will happen without showing up on your radar or impede your serious business. Held in the historic home of former President James Monroe, this Colonial twist on espionage will be the flavor of the evening. Oh, and one more thing, you are encouraged to come dressed as your favorite SPY. White dinner jackets, lavish gowns, trench coats, space suits, and Matadors welcome. #### **Spies Across Time- March 2, 6:30- 10:00 PM** **“There is nothing more necessary than good intelligence to frustrate a designing enemy.”** — *George Washington*, 1777. ### Join us for our intriguing and exciting networking evening gala event. You wont want to miss it! Location disclosed when you get your ticket, but it's near Capitol Hill. Check back tomorrow I might have posted the venue. **GET TICKETS HERE : https://gbaglobal.org/u-s-capitol-hill-blockchain-showcase/**

**NEW UPDATE:** Additional members of the cubing community have reached out to me and we all agree, the more cubing the better! I have removed the 12 person limit and we are adding an overflow cube for those also interested in non vintage type cubes! For the foreseeable future this guest cube will be Alex's Enchantment Cube [Enchanted to Meet You](https://cubecobra.com/cube/list/enchantedCube)! Priority will still fall to firing the vintage cube but what this means is if we reach 12 members we can offer the option to fire both cubes at 6 and 6 or just the vintage cube at 2 pods each. If we reach over 12 we will divide up the players between the two cubes with earlier RSVPs getting priority on their choice. If you have a cube that you are interested in having as a spill over cube please reach out to me and we can coordinate. Thank you! Come join and casually draft a vintage cube that is open to everyone. No cost to enter! The store provides promo booster packs and I usually throw in a pack of the most recent standard set to award to the people with the best records at the end of the night.

**Our March pick is *God of the Woods* by Liz Moore.** **This month’s novel is an award-winning literary mystery that blends family drama with psychological suspense. It explores women’s voices and relationships while delivering an exciting, eerie, and deeply suspenseful story. The book is 576 pages in print or 14 hours and 35 minutes on audiobook.** Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
