Its also a lighter gauge material & on the install they did crack one piece so I would assume it's prone to stress cracking.Also be wary of the lighter gauge granite from China it is very prone to cracking & will surface scratch easily.We have Granite throughout our kitchen & house (14 years now) & it takes an amazing amount of abuse.

This helped people know right away what our group was about.I suggest that's a good way to start.Also, if you haven't, set up keyword alerts in BP (through your dashboard) for Shanghai and China so you can be alerted anytime it's mentioned.You can also try to do a search through BP for "China" and "Shanghai" and start PM-ing people or seeing what they're posting about and adding a comment.After we set up the MeetUp, we made Video Introductions - just using our computer cameras - and set up a standard response to any new members that included our Facebook page, links to our Video, etc.We also created some video cartoons (a little more complicated - maybe if you get someone in your group who has some computer skills?)
