OPEN SPACE TECHNOLOGY

DAY OF EVENT TO DO’S

 

As I’m getting ready for an OS event, I review the supply list.  The signage list and sample pages help when I’ve got lots of eager hands available for set up.  I can hand someone the principles and law and turn them loose.  It has made it much easier to get others involved.
