I believe we had another registration for our next Steel 101 workshop over the weekend. This means we are literally only a few seats from being sold out. The dates on this workshop are Dec. 11-12 in Toledo, Ohio. We will tour the North Star BlueScope steel mill as part of our program. You can find more details on our website: www.SteelMarketUpdate.com/Events/Steel101 and you are welcome to contact our office should you have any questions. I will be available through this Wednesday and can be reached at 800-432-3475.

As always, your business is truly appreciated by all of us here at Steel Market Update.
