Message from the President
|
February 2010 |
|
| If Januarys meeting is any indication of what the year will be like,
we are going to have a great year. There were 50 persons
in attendance. We even ran out of chairs. Joe will have more chairs for
the February meeting. We had a lot of wood for our wood raffle and we had
a lot of people bring their turnings for show and tell. Many thanks to,
our very own, Dean Jordan for a great presentation on hollowing and piercing.
Thank you Dean. Jack has programs lined for the next few months and Paul
is working on an updated membership roster so all members can have a copy.
Any suggestions or problems you have direct them to one of the officers
and we will try to take care of them. Have a good year turning and keep
the sawdust flying. |
