• Buddy Robinson – Wins the shirt contest. Great Work!

From Buddy:

Little late to announce but my shirt design (The Grey Shirt) was there at SOLIDWORKS WORLD 2017. It was the most popular and they ran out of them the fastest.

Felt like I was able to represent OCSWUG being from Fountain Valley, CA. Such a great experience for my first time.
