Note: This April we will hold elections for 3 Board of Director positions. If you are at all interested in running please let us know by emailing dorun920@yahoo.com and/or sjeval@pcinter.net. We will get information regarding those that are running out to all members before the April meeting.
SHOW & TELL – It’s cold outside, but hopefully warm in your shop! Bring in what you’ve been turning, and as usual, you can ask for critiques of your work, or you can simply show your turnings. We can discuss turning ‘challenges’, talk about best practices, and chat about perplexing pieces of wood you would like suggestions on how to turn or what to turn it into. We would like to have members show one of their turnings and once everyone has a chance, additional items can be shown if time permits.
SAFETY MINUTE – Open Discussion – Best practices, what to do and what not to do in the shop.
(i.e. Susan-Curling Rock Trophy-Finger-Colorful-Ouch)
RAFFLE: An ongoing item on our agenda is our Raffle. If you have any items to donate for the raffle, whether it’s a woodturning book, a piece of wood, a pen or bowl blank, a tool you don’t use, or maybe a turning you have done, we would sincerely appreciate the donation. Depending upon the quantity of donations received your item may be saved for a future month’s raffle.
