Hi Libby! Welcome to the group. There are several of us (4 or 5 active) from Vegas on this group.
Who's your director? Did you go to the kickoff with Jana Arkell at the Library on LV blvd?
My best advice for breaking out of your shyness is to wear PC clothing or have a PC tote bag.... and to practice practice practice with your tools at home so you're comfortable and excited about them!
Blessings, ~Suzie
