OPEN FORUM
Our 2026 PUAM will start off with an Open Forum meeting at A Chick & A Chair Upholstery in Coon Rapids. All our meetings end up with such great sharing. We usually running out of time by the time we get to the Open Forum time so this will be a treat to have plenty of time to share.
If you haven't been to a PUAM meeting yet or in a while, this will be a great meeting to attend and contribute to.
Hopefully the weather will be cooperating but watch your emails on Thursday, Jan. 8th for any updates.
Hope to see you there!
The PUAM meetings are monthly meetings to support each other and to share upholstery knowledge. We’d love to have your input on topics you’d like to have discussed or presented on different upholstery techniques. It is easiest to show techniques in a shop environment but we are open to meeting in rooms provided by restaurants, libraries, community centers, etc. If you have a topic or location that we can use, please contact us at Diana Peltier at 651-257-2706. or dlsguenth@gmail.com. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!*All dates and locations are subject to change so watch the newsletter each month for any unforeseen changes. Thanks!
